In a foreign land beneath a foreign sky
They speak of Mama Laye
They don't believe she died
The people raise their eyes
They said they'd sing a song
They ask the spirit world
Cause they know where she's gone
She's never far away, Mama Laye, no
She's never far away, Mama Laye, no, no no
They say she never sleeps
She never close her eyes
She speaks the magic tongue
She's slowly hypnotized
She's never far away, Mama Laye, no
She's never far away, Mama Laye, no, no no
She's never far away, Mama Laye, no
She's never far away, Mama Laye, Mama Laye
They are as grains of sand
And then they are as one
They pray to Mama Laye
The father, mother, son
They say she's never far away, Mama Laye, no
She's never far away, Mama Laye, no
She's never far away, Mama Laye, no, no no
She's never far away, Mama Laye, Mama Laye
She's never far away, Mama Laye, no
She's never far away, Mama Laye, no
She's never far away, Mama Laye, no, no no
She's never far away, Mama Laye, Mama Laye
The Delgados sono stati un gruppo indie rock scozzese formatosi a Motherwell nel 1994. Composti da Emma Pollock (voce, chitarra), Stuart McAlpine Fidler (chitarra, voce), Alasdair MacLean (basso) e Paul Harkin (batteria), hanno raggiunto una certa popolarità negli anni '90 e primi anni 2000 con un sound caratterizzato da melodie orecchiabili, testi introspettivi e arrangiamenti raffinati. Il loro debutto, "The Great Eastern", risale al 1997 e ha segnato l'inizio di una carriera costellata da album apprezzati dalla critica come "Since When" (2000) e "Hate and Love" (2002). La band si è sciolta nel 2005 dopo un tour mondiale. Tra i brani più noti dei Delgados figurano "The Light", "I'm Not Your Man", "Come On, Come On" e "Always Right Always Wrong".
