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
