Miriam Makeba feat. Leleti Khumalo - Forever

Thank You Mama (feat. Leleti Khumalo)

Leading the struggle with nothing in your hands
Can bring confusion in the family
I miss those days of jubilation
We mama yeah (conviviality)

Hayi!
Hayi hayi!
Babambeni babambeni
Hayi!
Hayi hayi!

Leading the struggle with nothing in your hands (nothing in your hands)
Can bring confusion in the family (family)
I miss those days of jubilation
We mama yeah (conviviality)

Days of happiness (days of happiness)
When a family sat round the fire
Those, were the days of stability
We mama yeah (conviviality)

I wanna thank you mama (thank you)
Thank you, baby
(Thank you mama for everything that you have done for me)
It was my responsibility

Since I was a little girl
When I was laying on your back
Taking me to church
We mama I wanna thank you
