Mama Africa
Look down and see the fates
Of your beautiful virgin daughters
See what has become of chastity
Thrown to the four winds
Mama Africa
The Whiteman brought us civilizationBut civilization has its price
Morality is confined to history books
Practiced only by prudes
Oh Mama Africa
Weep for your daughtersWho have become breadwinners
For their fathers
And sell themselves for dollars
Mama Africa
Our hands are stained with bloodYour land is filled with blood
The blood of your daughters
But they erect mansions
Mama oh Mama
Will Africa ever be clean again?Free from this hunger
This corruption
That makes your daughters forget their shame.
