In a foreign land beneath a foreign sky
They speak of Mama Laye
They don't believe she died

The people raise their eyes
They said they'd sing a song
They ask the spirit world

Cause they know where she's gone
She's never far away, Mama Laye, no
She's never far away, Mama Laye, no, no no


They say she never sleeps
She never close her eyes

She speaks the magic tongue
She's slowly hypnotized
She's never far away, Mama Laye, no

She's never far away, Mama Laye, no, no no
She's never far away, Mama Laye, no


She's never far away, Mama Laye, Mama Laye

They are as grains of sand

And then they are as one
They pray to Mama Laye
The father, mother, son

They say she's never far away, Mama Laye, no
She's never far away, Mama Laye, no
She's never far away, Mama Laye, no, no no

She's never far away, Mama Laye, Mama Laye
She's never far away, Mama Laye, no
She's never far away, Mama Laye, no

She's never far away, Mama Laye, no, no no
She's never far away, Mama Laye, Mama Laye
