Youssou N'dour~Yama

(Youssou N'dour / Jonathan Sharp / Simon Richmond) / Steve Hopwood) "This song is about a very generous woman named Yama, who spends her time on the dock, waiting for the fishermen to return with their catch. She always helps them unload their fish and distributes what is left over to the people. She always makes sure that everyone has their share even if it means her leaving empty-handed." Lyrics In the morning, at dawn's early light Windows are closing here and there, Mindless of what's happening outside We praise Yama, Oh Yama, had we paid more attention to you We praise Yama, Oh Yama, had we pay more attention to you As soon as the fishing boat has come to a stop and its catch devided, What is left is given away We praise Yama, Oh Yama, had we pay more attention to you We praise Yama, Oh Yama, had we pay more attention to you Sometimes, when she divides the catch among them, she doesn't have her share too proud to ask, even if that means going to bed hungry Sometimes, when she divides the catch among them, she does't have her share Yama you are such a Lady We praise Yama, Oh Yama, had we pay more attention to you We praise Yama, Oh Yama, had we pay more attention to you Even though you you've done your share you still worry about the children Thanks and praises, thanks and praises We praise Yama, Oh Yama, had we pay more attention to you
