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
