Homecoming Songtext
von Beautiful Nubia and the Roots Renaissance Band

I′m going back again to where I took my roots from
Back to my mummy's breast where it all began
Back to the dusty road where I walked with my dog
Back to the empty house where other child are playing
Maybe there I will find the answers to the questions
Maybe there I will find the real man in me

I′ve been gone many years and yet it's confusing
I'm looking for a way to relieve myself

Going back to my roots once again
Could be that I never gave enough
Why is life such a mystery to me?
Guess it′s time to begin some soul-searching


The world is full of people with fears of tomorrow
The eyes are heavy with unshed tears of sorrow
One day you′ll be the star the next you're the loser
Someday you′ll lie alone and left in your corner
For many years have sought for joy in my money
With my dreams of a land filled with milk and honey
But still I find myself alone in the darkness
You're up, in about for light, a glory to witness

Going back to my roots once again
Could be that I never gave enough
Why is life such a mystery to me?
Guess it′s time to do some soul-searching

Iwaju o lilo, eyin la n doju ko padasi
B'apa otun di o, afi tosi sebi re lojo ewu
B′oju orun s'obiri, abe ku lu so o gbani sile
Ona kan o woja oju aye yi, robóto, róboto, róboto
Ona kan o woja oju aye yi ro-bó-to

Going back to my roots once again
Could be that I never gave enough
Why is life such a mystery to me?
Guess it's time to do some soul-searching

Said I′m going back to my roots once again
Could be that I never gave enough
Why is life such a mystery to me?
Guess it′s time to do some soul-searching


Iwaju o je yiin lo, eyin la n d'ori ko padasi
B′apa otun di o, afi tosi sebi re lojo ewu
B'oju orun s′obiri, abe ku lu so o gbani sile
Ona kan o woja oju aye yi, robóto, róboto, robóto
Ona kan o woja oju aye yi ro-bó-to (róboto)

Ona kan o woja oju aye yi, robóto, róboto, robóto
Ona kan o woja oju aye yi ro-bó-to (róboto)
Ona kan o woja oju aye yi, robóto, róboto, robóto
Ona kan o woja oju aye yi ro-bó-to (róboto)
Ona kan o woja oju aye yi, robóto, róboto, robóto
Ona kan o woja...
