I've travelled all around this world my friend,
Saw many different places.
But I knew I had a chance to know
Those old familiar faces.
All I remember is a sunny day,
A voice so softly singing.
Can you imagine how good it was,
The pleasure you were bringing.

Please let the music play, Mano, Mano, Mano.
Don't ever go away, Mano, Mano, Mano.
Pick up your old guitar, Mano, Mano, Mano.
You will become a star, Mano, Mano, Mano.

I had to go, it was a sad goodbye,
But I always will remember.
You held my hand and I started to cry,
But I knew I would surrender.
Until today I haven't heard from you,
Not a single letter.
I suppose I must be thankful for
The times we spent together.

Please let the music play, Mano, Mano, Mano.
Don't ever go away, Mano, Mano, Mano.
Pick up your old guitar, Mano, Mano, Mano.
You will become a star, Mano, Mano, Mano.

Please let the music play, Mano, Mano, Mano.
Don't ever go away, Mano, Mano, Mano.
Pick up your old guitar, Mano, Mano, Mano.
You will become a star, Mano, Mano, Mano.

Please let the music play, Mano, Mano, Mano.
Don't ever go away, Mano, Mano, Mano.
Pick up your old guitar
