Ibeyi Mama Says
[Chorus]
The man is gone
And mama says
She can't live without him
The man is gone
And mama says
There is no life without him
[Verse 1]
She has no one to stop her tears
A man who heals and calms down her fears
She needs to wake up in her man's arms
And to be loved just like a child
[Chorus]
The man is gone
And mama says
She can't live without him
The man is gone
And mama says
There is no life without him
[Verse 2]
How can I tell her the way I feel?
I'm afraid she'd be hurt and sink
It pisses me off, it drives me mad
That she lets herself feel so bad
[Bridge]
Oooh-ooooh
Oooh-ooooh
Eleggua ko
Eleggua ko aña
Eleggua ko
Eleggua ko aña
Eleggua ko
Eleggua ko aña
Alaroye masankio
Eleggua ko aña
[Chorus]
The man is gone
And mama says
She can't live without him
The man is gone
And mama says
There is no life without him
