Ma Chanson

[Intro – chants tribaux] Eh Eh… Oh Oh… Ashe… Mama Africa… Ah Ah… ⸻ [Verse 1] From the earth where the fire begins We rise with the sound of ancient skins Moonlight dancing on sacred ground Every heartbeat makes a drum-like sound Ubuntu flows in my every step No fear, no chain, no regret left The river sings what the elders knew We are the dream that the soil grew ⸻ [Chorus – call & response] Eh Eh! — We rise tonight! Ah Ah! — In the ancestral light! Oh Oh! — Feel the spirit flow! Eh Eh! — Let the whole world know! Mama Africa, call my name Sankofa brings the flame again We dance, we heal, we stand as one Under the voice of the rising sun ⸻ [Verse 2] Drums are speaking, they tell our story Blood and gold and forgotten glory Feet on the ground, spirits in the air We move as one, everywhere Karibu soul, come join the sound Where lost hearts finally are found No silence here, only the cry Of living roots that never die ⸻ [Chorus – stronger energy] Eh Eh! — We rise tonight! Ah Ah! — In the ancestral light! Oh Oh! — Feel the spirit flow! Eh Eh! — Let the whole world know! Mama Africa, call my name Ashe fire will never tame We dance, we heal, we stand as one Under the voice of the rising sun ⸻ [Bridge – flute + echoes] Oh Oh… Eh Eh… The earth remembers… We are forever… Ashe… Ashe… ⸻ [Final Chorus – collective chant] Eh Eh! — We rise as one! Ah Ah! — Under African sun! Oh Oh! — Hear the drum, feel the flow! Eh Eh! — This is home, we know! ⸻ [Outro – fading chants] Mama Africa… Eh Eh… Ashe…
