Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mama Africa by KIDS UNITED from French to English.

That's where I love to go

Her heart knows no borders

At her place we can dance

Barefoot while looking toward the sea

There are ten thousand colors in her

The sun and the Earth

Invite themselves to her place, that's happiness

At Mama's, at Mama Africa

Mama Africa

At Mama's, at Mama Africa

Mama Africa

Min dé lè tin bo dji djan yin

Bomin dé lè fon do nou wa wè

That's where I love to go

Mama always tells the truth

Her laugh drives away dark clouds

God, apparently

Is said to have made Man in his image

At Mama's, at Mama Africa

Mama Africa

At Mama's, at Mama Africa

Mama Africa

At Mama's, at Mama Africa

Mama Africa

At Mama's, at Mama Africa

Nishèo, nishèo, nishèo, nishèo, nishèo

That's where I love to go

Her heart knows no borders

At her place we can dance

Barefoot while looking toward the sea

There are ten thousand colors in her

The sun and the Earth

Invite themselves to her place, that's happiness

At Mama's, at Mama Africa

Mama Africa

At Mama's, at Mama Africa

Mama Africa

At Mama's, at Mama Africa

Mama Africa

At Mama's, at Mama Africa

Mama Africa

At Mama's, at Mama Africa

Mama Africa

At Mama's, at Mama Africa

SONG MEANING

Mama Africa is a vibrant love letter to the African continent. Kids United join forces with Angélique Kidjo and Youssou N’Dour to paint a musical portrait of a land where “the heart knows no borders.” They sing of sun-kissed beaches, barefoot dances, and a kaleidoscope of “dix mille couleurs” that make every day feel like a festival. Africa is personified as a wise, joyful mother whose laughter chases away dark clouds and whose home is always open to anyone seeking warmth and rhythm.

The song’s mix of French, Fon, and Wolof lyrics mirrors the continent’s rich diversity while delivering a universal message: happiness is found in togetherness, truth, and music. Each chorus invites you to step into Mama Africa’s house, leave your worries at the door, and celebrate life under the welcoming sun. It’s an energetic anthem of unity that reminds listeners why Africa is often called the cradle of humanity—and why it still feels like home to hearts all over the world.
