Текст песни: Mama Bendel + перевод

I still remember the old days

When I was young and in school

My mind will wander to when I was so confused

And I was never sure of whom I was

I was living far away from home

I missed my family and my friends

But out of the gloom there was a woman

Who kept us laughing into the deeps of the night

And we called her Mama Bendel

To her we went for our meals

She made amala the way I liked it

Mama Bendel — She was always there

She put the shine in my dull days

She knew how to make a stone laugh

She knew how to lift my dark clouds away

She told me stories of how she grew up

As a young girl in a village far away

She painted a world of happiness

And taught me the things mother forgot to teach

She talked about love and pain

And what you must do to keep your head

Up above the storms of life

She was Mama Bendel

She would sing and dance

To soothe my young soul

Mama Bendel — Honest and true

She was the queen in my little world

Now Mama Bendel is gone away

She died in her sleep a few years ago

They said just before she left

She gave everyone a smile and said

«I'll be seeing you very soon»
