Told My MaAce of Base

[Chorus]
I told my ma, about the town I love so well
I told my ma, about the town I love
My time will come, raising up my family
I told my ma, about the town I love

[Verse 1]
I’m leaving for an island, way down in the south
Where the roads are curved and dusty with no names
The people’s so inviting, they’re smiling everywhere
With a tempo I can share

[Chorus]
I told my ma, about the town I love so well
I told my ma, about the town I love
My time will come, raising up my family
I told my ma, about the town I love

[Verse 2]
I'd like to get together, where there's samba in the streets
In a tropical favela to the beats
In Santa Catarina, a hot summer night
Are you ready, to ignite?

[Chorus]
I told my ma, about the town I love so well
I told my ma, about the town I love
My time will come, raising up my family
I told my ma, about the town I love

[Bridge]
I said
Oh oh hungry eyes, hungry eyes
My apprise, all for you
Oh, hungry eyes
Until the morning’s arise

[Chorus]
I told my ma, about the town I love so well
I told my ma, about the town I love
My time will come, raising up my family
I told my ma, about the town I love
I told my ma, about the town I love so well
I told my ma, about the town I love
My time will come, raising up my family
I told my ma, about the town I love

Ace of Base

Ace of Base Is a Swedish pop group who scored a string of international hits in the early-to-mid 1990s. They’re best known for their upbeat reggae-tinged dance-pop songs, including “The Sign”, which was the biggest hit of 1994, according to The Billboard US chart.

The group’s core lineup consisted of producers Ulf “Buddha” Ekberg and Jonas “Joker” Berggren, along with singers Malin “Linn” Berggren and Jenny Berggren (the three Berggrens are siblings). In the early ’90s, their debut single “Wheel of Fortune” became a hit in Scandinavia, which led to the group connecting with producer Denniz Pop (who would later spawn the careers Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, and Max Martin).

After the group’s 1992 debut Happy Nation became an international hit (going on to sell 21 million copies), it was re-released in North America in 1993 as The Sign. Three singles from the album became top five pop hits in the US, including “All That She Wants” (#2), “Don’t Turn Around” (#4), and “The Sign” (#1 for six weeks). The Sign went on to sell over 10 million copies.
