Mamã África
Tosh Peter Lyrics

Mama Africa
Addressing the continent of Africa fondly as a motherly figure

How are you doing Mama
Enquiring about the welfare of the continent

Long time me no see you Mama
Expressing the absence of the singer from the continent for a long period of time

They took me away from you Mama
Acknowledging the forced separation of the singer from the continent

Long before I was born
Emphasizing the historical depth of the separation

There's so many things about you
Highlighting the richness of the continent's culture and identity

Wondering where you are
Expressing the singer's curiosity and interest in the location and well-being of the continent

They try their best to hide you Mama
Acknowledging the efforts to suppress and belittle the continent's greatness

But I search and I find you
Asserting the singer's determination to uncover and celebrate the continent's beauty

In you there's so much beauty
Appreciating the aesthetic value of the continent

In you there's so much life
Recognizing the thriving and diverse nature of the continent

In you there's so many kingdoms
Referring to the historical and political significance of the continent

To me it's out of sight
Admitting the singer's lack of knowledge and awareness of the continent's complexity

You're the maker of gold Mama
Attributing the continent's wealth and resources to its natural abundance

You're the maker of diamond
Recognizing the continent's significant contribution to the global diamond industry

You're the maker of pearls
Acknowledging the continent's role in producing rare and valuable pearls

And the maker of all precious goals
Affirming the continent's importance and value in producing precious resources and achievements

I've been waiting, yearning, looking
Expressing the singer's deep longing and desire to reconnect with the continent

Searching to find you
Describing the singer's quest to rediscover and embrace the continent's culture and heritage

I've been crying, praying hoping
Revealing the singer's emotional and spiritual connection to the continent

That I may find you Mama
Expressing the singer's ultimate aspiration to reunite with the continent

You're my mother Africa
Affirming the cultural and emotional ties of the singer to the continent

You're my father Africa
Emphasizing the importance of the continent as a source of identity and inspiration for the singer

I'm proud of you Mama
Expressing the singer's sense of admiration and honor for the continent

I love you Mama
Declaring the singer's affection and affection for the continent

I'm proud of you Mama
Reiterating the singer's pride and respect for the continent

I love you heavenly
Affirming the singer's deep reverence and passionate love for the continent
