Mamunia Mamunia Mamunia
Oh Oh Oh
Mamunia Mamunia Oh Oh Oh Oh

The Rain Comes Falling From The Sky,
To Fill The Stream That Fills The Sea
And That's Where Life Began For You And Me
So The Next Time You See Rain It Ain't Bad,
Don't Complain It Rains For You,
The Next Time You See L.A. Rainclouds,
Don't Complain It Rains For You And Me

Mamunia...

It Might Have Been A Bright Blue Day
But Rainclouds Had To Come This Way
They're Watering Everything That They Can See.

A Seed Is Waiting In The Earth
For Rain To Come And Give Him Free,
So The Next Time You See L.A. Rainclouds
Don't Complain, It Rains For You.

So Lay Down Your Umbrellas
Strip Off Your Plastic Macs.
You've Never Felt The Rain My Friend,
Till You've Felt It Running Down Your Back

So The Next Time You See Rain, It Ain't Bad
Don't Complain, It Rains For You.
The Next Time You See L.A. Rainclouds
Don't Complain It Rains For You And Me.





Mamunia...

Overall Meaning

The song "Mamunia" by Wings begins with the chorus, "Mamunia Mamunia Mamunia, Oh Oh Oh Mamunia Mamunia Oh Oh Oh Oh." The word "Mamunia" is not clearly defined but could be interpreted as a person's name or an expression of joy or celebration. The song continues with a reflection on the beauty and necessity of rain. The rain that falls from the sky fills streams and eventually the sea, and this is where life began for humankind. The song encourages listeners to appreciate the rain and not to complain about it, because it is necessary for life to exist.


The verse reminds us that even on a bright blue day, rainclouds may come to water the earth and allow seeds to grow. The idea of a seed waiting in the earth for the rain to come and give it life is a metaphor for the potential that exists within each of us. The rain gives life to plants and trees just as our own potential can be realized with the right environment and opportunities. The song concludes with the chorus once again, emphasizing the idea that rain is not something to be complained about but rather celebrated for its role in sustaining life.
