Mother of the nation

Anyone remember Papermoon and their Sheikh Zayed song?

First, it turns out that they are Austrian, not German.

Second, it transpires that they have also written a song for Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak. Sadly no demo or lyrics are online, but here is a sample:

Mother of the nation
You're a light that shines on me
Mother of the nation
You're the wind beneath our wings
All your lifetime you would care for all of us
Like for your family

[...]

As the mother of the nation we will praise you
Straight from the heart
As the mother for us all we celebrate you
You shine like a star

For your loving, and for your endless care
When someone needed you, your helping hand was there
When someone needs you, your helping hand is there
Mother


It's high time some quality tribute songs were written by UAEans.

Well - it may be a cynical marketing ploy - but still a nice song for fans of Sheikha Fatima.

They may have thought it was appropriate to write this kind of song out of politeness, seeing as they played a concert in Abu Dhabi earlier this year.
