Текст песни Se'untoose (Beautiful Nubia and the Roots Renaissance Band) с переводом

…Instrument…

In my journey through the world

Over land and over sea

I see different cultures and

Different people’s ways

I was born where the sun

Never sets and never rises

I was born where the heat

Was like a second skin

…instruments…

Children crying on the streets

Automobiles are making noise

The land is growing dry and weak

Spirits lying low

The fore-fathers are calling me Never tire never weaken

The pride in me is bursting loose

I am an African boy

…instruments…

On the farm my father called me Down behind a tree

He said prostrate at my feet

And say a few prayers

Then he told me all the stories

Of my great ancestors

Said look into my eyes son

You were born to be great

So in the twillight I went home

Behind my father with a hoe

Listening to the songs of birds

Whispers of the night

I was singing

Seven goats, seven beads

Seaven cowries, seven nuts

Seven lives that’s what I’ve got

I’m an African boy

Over sea, over land

Over mountains in the wild

I’ll be brave and I’ll be strong

I’m an African boy

…instruments…

In the evening mother called me Down into her hut

She said lay upon my bossom

And say a few prayers

Then she told me to go forward

Never looking back

The spirits are with you

And you will never fail

So I go into the world

Into the deeps, into the wild

In the market place I dance

The sound of baata

Dancing

Seven jumps, seven wringles

Seven cowries, seven nuts

Seven lives that’s what I’ve got

I’m an African boy

Over sea, over land

Over mountains in the wild

I’ll be brave and I’ll be strong

I’m an African boy
