Beautiful Nubia - E Ko'mo L'ede lyrics

rate me

You and I, we are wrong if we think everything is right<br />

There's a fire burning on the roof our future is dying as we sleep<br />

We must awake from the lies we've been told about ourselves<br />

There's no reason to be ashamed of who we are and where we're from<br />

E jowo o, e k'omo l'ede ile wa o<br />

E jowo o, e k'omo l'asa ile wa o<br />

E jowo o, e k'omo n'itan ile wa o<br />

E jowo o, e fun won l'aso ile wa wo<br />

You're so proud today to hear them speak in a foreign tongue<br />

It's not fair to keep them away from who they are and live a lie<br />

All these children, they are strangers<br />

To their own roots and culture<br />

We must try to right the wrongs<br />

And show them the beauty in who they are<br />

O d'eni - eni<br />

eji, eta, erin, aarun, eefa...<br />
