Hugh Masekela - Happy Mama (Live)(2018)

It's been a forty years and a day
Since they came to take her away
She got twenty years in jail
For riding the freedom train
In the end she had to leave SA
Into exile in LA
When she saw her mama again
These are the only words she could say

Mama Moya jamula
Mama Moya jamula
Mama Moya jamula
Onmo kefike Kaya
Onmo kekuye Kaya

But maa Muya jamula
Mama Muya jamula

Mama thought she'd never see her again
Many exiles never returned
Nobody knew where her baby had gone
But it wasnt long before freedom
And when Mandela came out of jail
There was her daughter walking next to the man
When she ran into her mother's arms
These are the only words she could say

Mama Moya jamula
Onmo kefike Kaya. . .

Mama Moya jamula...
Onmo kefike Kaya...
