Mama Corsica Mama Corsica "Mama Corsica" is a song by French singer Patrick Fiori, written in Corsican and French and composed by François Valéry. The song represented France at the Eurovision Song Contest 1993, where it came in fourth place. The song is in praise of Corsica itself, with Fiori likening the island to a mother taking pity on all who come to her. The majority of the song is in French, however Fiori also tells the island ""tonight I am singing in Corsican for you"", which he then does, singing that it is as if the whole world were doing so.

After sounding out the possibility of protection from Spain and Naples, he set off to Holland where he was arrested for debt in Amsterdam. On regaining his freedom, Theodore sent his nephew to Corsica with a supply of arms; he himself returned to Corsica in 1738, 1739, and 1743, but the combined Genoese and French forces continued to occupy the island. In 1749 he arrived in England to seek support, but eventually fell into debt and was confined in a debtors' prison in London until 1755. He
