Happy Mama

HUGH MASEKELA

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

UMama uyajabula (uMama uyajabula)
UMama uyajabula (uMama uyajabula)
UMama uyajabula (uMama uyajabula)
UMama uyajabula (uMama uyajabula)

Qho mangifik' ekhaya
Qho mangibuy' ekhaya
Qho mangifik' ekhaya
Qho mangibuy' ekhaya

Wath' uMama uyajabula (uMama uyajabula)
UMama uyajabula (uMama uyajabula)
UMama uyajabula (uMama uyajabula)
UMama uyajabula (uMama uyajabula)

Mama thought she'd never see her again
Many exiles never returned
Nobody knew where her baby had gone
But it wasn't 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

UMama uyajabula (uMama uyajabula)
UMama uyajabula (uMama uyajabula)
UMama uyajabula (uMama uyajabula)
UMama uyajabula (uMama uyajabula)
UMama uyajabula (uMama uyajabula)
UMama uyajabula bo (uMama uyajabula)

Qho mangifik' ekhaya (uMama uyajabula)
Njalo mangifik' ekhaya
Qho mangifik' ekhaya (uMama uyajabula)
Njalo mangifik' ekhaya

Chisa, Chisa

UMama uyajabula (uMama uyajabula)
UMama uyajabula
UMama uyajabula (uMama uyajabula)
UMama uyajabula

Qho mangifik' ekhaya (uMama uyajabula)
Qho mangifik' ekhaya (uMama uyajabula)
Wathi
Qho mangifik' ekhaya (uMama uyajabula)
uMama uyajabula
Qho mangifik' ekhaya (uMama uyajabula)
uMama uyajabula (uMama uyajabula)
Umama uyajabula (uMama uyajabula)

UMama uyajabula (uMama uyajabula)
UMama uyajabula (Mangifik' ekhaya)
UMama uyajabula (uMama uyajabula)
