Baba Hooker Songtext
von Zap Mama

Salamu ka ndere yeh baba o ka ye
Salamu ka ndere yeh baba o ka ye
Salamu ka ndere yeh baba o ka ye
Salamu ka ndere yeh baba o ka ye

Moy na na na yeah
Moy na na yeah
Salamu ka ndere yeh baba o ka ye
Salamu ka ndere yeh baba o ka ye

I am trying to redeem the patience
Je réapprivoise la patience
En respectant la cadence de la vie
Je ne risque pas la décadence
J′y mets toute ma confiance et sa réussite


I feel my body shake
Low
Quiver, quake, hollow
Like a baby rattle
Cold inside, please start the fireside
Smell the smoke
Don't feel no glow inside
Don′t feel no glow inside

Salamu ka ndere yeh baba o ka ye
Salamu ka ndere yeh baba o ka ye
Salamu ka ndere yeh baba o ka ye
Salamu ka ndere yeh baba o ka ye

I like to talk
The urban priest from the lands of the concretes
Peace, nature fights with the beast that's within us
The West called us the sinners, beginners
Originals, life is in us
Words of the prophets, flying carpets
The middle passage will never stop us
Lingering we sing, remembering
That we was once the kings and the queens
Diamond rings, the hands that tomorrow brings
Bringing light, echo echo echoing
The hands of Fatima
Hit the devil's eyes between ′em
Just like a Nina, come back Maria


I spin my head to release illusion in my mind
Je réapprivoise la patience
En respectant la cadence de la vie

Salamu ka ndere yeh baba o ka ye
Salamu ka ndere yeh baba o ka ye
Salamu ka ndere yeh baba o ka ye
Salamu ka ndere yeh baba o ka ye

When I move my little fingers through the mud
Ground, earth, soil of my birth
What can I do, what can I say
To get this message through to you

Salamu ka ndere yeh baba o ka ye
Salamu ka ndere yeh baba o ka ye
Salamu ka ndere yeh baba o ka ye
Salamu ka ndere yeh baba o ka ye

Salamu baba o ya batu yanyeye ushi
Salamu ka ndere yeh baba o ka ye
What can I do, what can I say
Salamu ka ndere yeh baba o ka ye
Salamu ka ndere yeh baba o ka ye
Salamu ka ndere yeh baba o ka ye
Salamu ka ndere yeh baba o ka ye
Salamu ka ndere yeh baba o ka ye
Salamu ka ndere yeh baba o ka ye
Salamu ka ndere yeh baba o ka ye
