All mothers
From Antilles, from Africa, or from Cuba
Have golden voices
All mothers
Prance about in the sunlight
Under baskets of pineapples
All mothers
Have robes of all colors
And flower necklaces
All mothers
It's a firework in broad daylight
A ode to love
Refrain
Hey you mama!
I always say hello to you, hallelujah!
Hallelujah mama!
I have so much love for you
I want to sing and dance like you
I want to love like you
Hey you mama!
You always seem like the Mona Lisa
The smile in its place
I have so much love for you
I feel you in my skin in my head
I'm living you like a party
All mothers
Don't have a child on their backs every day
Even when it's beautiful outside
All mothers
Would like to fold up their wings
And start again at zero
All mothers
Would leave the herd
Of little elephants
Just one time
To fly up high
