Mama Says Lyrics

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.
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.
Uuh-Uuh.

The man is gone
And mama says
That she can't live without him.
The man is gone
And mama says
There is no life without him.
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 let's herself feel so bad.
Uuh-Uuh.

The man is gone
And mamma says
That she can't live without him.
The man is gone
And mamma says
There is no life without him.

Ibeyi are Cuban-born, Paris based twin sisters Lisa-Kaïndé and Naomi Diaz. They sing in French, English, Spanish and Yoruba, which was brought to Cuba by West African slaves. Ibeyi honor their father’s legacy, Cuban jazz percussionist Miguel "Angá" Díaz through their percussive production. Beatsmith Naomi plays both the cajón and the batá while Lisa-Kaindé plays the piano and sings the main vocals.
