Lyrics[]

Elle a toujours un peu de vin
Quelques fruits, un peu de pain
Pour les amis qui ont faim
Mama Corsica

Elle a le cœur grand comme le ciel
Elle est sincère comme elle est belle
Mama Corsica

Elle est comme ses vieilles dames en noir
Qui portent en elles leur histoire
Mama Corsica

Il paraît même que le Bon Dieu
Il en était fou amoureux
En la dessinant de ses doigts

Mama Corsica, sta sera cantemu en corsu per te
Mama Corsica, au nom de l'amour, ce soir c'est toi, la terre d'amitié
Mama Corsica, u mondu n'a occhji sta sera che per te
Mama Corsica, comme si le monde chantait en corse pour te saluer

Elle prie toujours pour ses garçons
Quand ils sont loins de la maison
Mama Corsica

Elle sourit quand on pense à elle
Elle aime bien qu'on lui soit fidèle
Mama Corsica

N'allez pas croire tout ce que l'on dit
Au fond c'est elle qui nous unit
Mama Corsica

Tant mieux qu'il y ait des différences
Elle ne fait pas de préférence
Tous ses enfants ont le sang corse

Mama Corsica, sta sera cantemu en corsu per te
Mama Corsica, au nom de l'amour, ce soir c'est toi, la terre d'amitié
Mama Corsica, u mondu n'a occhji sta sera che per te
Mama Corsica, comme si le monde chantait en corse pour te saluer

Mama Corsica
Mama Corsica

She always has a little wine
Some fruits, a bit of bread
For the starving friends
Mama Corsica

Her heart is as wide as the sky
She's as sincere as she's beautiful
Mama Corsica

She's like those old ladies in black
Who bear their story inside themselves
Mama Corsica

It even seems that the Good Lord
Was crazy in love with her
Drawing her with his fingers

Mama Corsica, tonight we're singing in Corsican for you
Mama Corsica, on behalf of love, tonight you're the land of friendship
Mama Corsica, tonight the world has only eyes for you
Mama Corsica, as if the world sung in Corsican to greet you

She always prays for her boys
When they are far from home
Mama Corsica

She smiles when you're thinking of her
She likes it when you're faithful to her
Mama Corsica

Don't believe everything what people say
Basically it's her who unites us
Mama Corsica

Never mind that there are differences
She doesn't have preferences
All her children have Corsican blood

Mama Corsica, tonight we're singing in Corsican for you
Mama Corsica, on behalf of love, tonight you're the land of friendship
Mama Corsica, tonight the world has only eyes for you
Mama Corsica, as if the world sung in Corsican to greet you
