For the woman wey hold the home, for the queen wey stand strong
Mariama, this one na for you
Kushe, Mama, kushe
Early morning you dey wake, you dey pray for the family
With your smile, you dey guide us, you dey show us the way
From the city to the village, everybody know your name
Mama Mariama, your love dey shine like the sun, no be small game
Oh, Mama Mariama, you be the heartbeat of the land
Oh, Mama Mariama, with a blessing in your hand
We celebrate your beauty, your spirit so kind
You be the treasure that we lucky to find
When the clouds dey gather, you be the one wey stand by
With your wisdom like the river, you dey dry every tear in my eye
In Mande tongue, the people talk of the goodness you show
From the hills of Sierra Leone, see how your love dey grow
Oh, Mama Mariama, you be the heartbeat of the land
Oh, Mama Mariama, with a blessing in your hand
We celebrate your beauty, your spirit so kind
You be the treasure that we lucky to find
(Ayy, kushe, Mama!)
Your patience na wonder, your heart be pure gold
Stories of your courage, for the children they told
You be the light, you be the guide, you be the rock
Always there to comfort us, around the clock
So we singing this rhythm, palm wine flow for the soul
Mama, you be the champion, you make the family whole
No matter the distance, your voice echoes in our heart
Mariama, you be the masterpiece, you be the best part
Oh, Mama Mariama, you be the heartbeat of the land
Oh, Mama Mariama, with a blessing in your hand
We celebrate your beauty, your spirit so kind
You be the treasure that we lucky to find
Yeah, Mama Mariama
Legendary, Mama Mariama
