Rose Laurens - Mamy Yoko (English) lyrics

(Jean-Michel Berriat/Jean-Pierre Goussaud)

She'll rise with the sun, she'll go and she'll come

my Mamy Yoko.

I'll drink of her tea in ceremony

my Mamy Yoko - Mamy Yoko.

she'll burn the incense my spirit to sense

my Mamy Yoko.

The slant of her eyes will show no surprise

my Mamy Yoko.

Mamy Yoko oh Mamy Yoko

oh - Like an echo in my soul.

Her story will flow of great mikado

my Mamy Yoko.

Her feet she did bind to be of her kind

my Mamy Yoko - Mamy Yoko.

A pearl in her hand from sea of Japan

my Mamy Yoko.

The geisha holds the secrets of old

my Mamy Yoko.

Mamy Yoko oh Mamy Yoko

oh - ...

The samourai cry the death of her child

my Mamy Yoko.

Hiroshima shows the sins of our souls

my Mamy Yoko.

Mamy Yoko
