Water Songtext
von Inna Modja

I used to walk one hundred miles
To get water for my people
I used to walk one hundred miles
To get water, to get water
I used to walk one hundred miles
To get water for my people
I used to walk one hundred miles
To get water, to get water
Upita mala
Dongo do kata dji dji
Djini songoro niung
Kamala niung
Beki mprema tati duni
Angha maza ou dji dji la
Djungu tigo kuma na
Roubne ou laye dji tara
Nga ali sini oupe kolo dji dji soli la
Na mha hine anga moko la
Oupe sege oupe njani na
Ou ngo hake be bawa la


Nga ou yidogo konana fili la
I used to walk one hundred miles
To get water for my people
I used to walk one hundred miles
To get water, to get water
I used to walk one hundred miles
To get water for my people
I used to walk one hundred miles
To get water, to get water
When life gets harder and the desert get the blues
I dare you, walk a mile inside our shoes
My brothers are marching a thousand miles
They all share one dream and a broken smile
Running away from hell straight to sea
Get on the boat, goes ahead to see
The El Dorado on the other side
I used to walk one hundred miles
To get water for my people
I used to walk one hundred miles
To get water, to get water
Oupe bara la
Kili egoro woshi dji be dji dji
Mimi nji dougli dji
Ali koli dji toumoulo
Angha mousso ou negge na
Fate ou hami na
Mamoussou ou kachi ra
Nga hali bi angha roubne ou dji dji ra
Na mha hine anga moko la
Oupe sege oupe njani na
Ou ngo hake be bawa la
Nga ou yidogo konana fili la
Na mha hine anga moko la
Oupe sege oupe njani na
Ou ngo hake be bawa la
Nga ou yidogo konana fili la
I used to walk one hundred miles
To get water for my people
I used to walk one hundred miles
To get water, to get water
I used to walk one hundred miles
To get water for my people
I used to walk one hundred miles
To get water, to get water
