Mother Song
(Yayeboye - Mother in Wolof)
Hey did ya call your mother
Tell her that you love her
Don’t you forget to, she always fed you
Now she’s calling you
Why you hurt the mother
Why you hurt the mother
Why you hurt the mother
The animals and plants are calling (Yayeboye)
The minerals of the earth are calling (Yayeboye)
The wind on the mountain calling (Yayeboye)
The poorest of the poor are calling (Yayeboye)
The orphans of Haiti are calling (Yayeboye)
The lowest of the low are calling (Yayeboye)
The slave of the slaves calling (Yayeboye)
All that is small is calling (Yayeboye)
I hear the jaguar calling
Mother of the jaguars calling
Calling us back
Calling us back
Calling us back
Calling us back
Hey did ya call your mother
Tell her that you love her
Don’t you forget to, she always fed you
Now she’s calling you.
