Mam people
The Mam are a Native American people in the western highlands of Guatemala and in south-western Mexico who speak the Mam language.
Most Mam (617,171) live in Guatemala, in the departments of Huehuetenango, San Marcos, and Quetzaltenango. The Mam people in Mexico (23,632) live principally in the soconusco region of Chiapas.
In Pre-Columbian times the Mam were part of the Maya civilization; the Pre-Columbian capital of the Mam kingdom was Zaculeu.
Many Mam live in and around the nearby modern city of Huehuetenango. The city of Quetzaltenango or Xela was originally Mam. Many more Mam live in small hamlets in the mountains of Northern Guatemala, keeping many of their native traditions. Many Mam are bilingual and speak both Spanish as well as the Mam language, part of the Maya language family, - the latter typically as their first language.

by: M PeopleI'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house
Boy, there's so many things to give
I've been aware of your charms for so long
And there's nothing that you can do
To stop me from coming around, round
To your house, to your house
To your house, to your house
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house
I'll be your queen upon a throne in your house
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house
You can build it from bricks and stone
But there's still no point in being alone
So unlock your door, I'm coming through
'Cos this heart's got a message for you
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house
To your house, to your house, to your house, to your house
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house
I'll be your queen upon a throne in your house
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house
I'm coming home to your house
By land and sea, I'm coming home to your house
Come fly with me, I'm comin' home to your house
I'll be your queen upon a throne in your house
I'll make you scream aloud with joy in your house
I'll bring you gifts, cash money too to your house
I'll bring it all on home to you to your house
There'll be no black, there'll be no white in your house
There'll be no day, there'll be no night
Have mercy, mercy, mercy
Have mercy, mercy, mercy
Have mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy
Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy
Mercy on me, mercy on me
Mercy on me, mercy on me
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house
I'll be your queen upon a throne in your house
I'll make you scream aloud with joy in your house
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house
There'll be no war, there'll be no war in your house
I'll bring you peace, I'll bring you love to your house
