Oh,
yeah
Hawli,
my
guiding
light
From
the
coast
to
the
heart
of
the
land
Listen
to
my
soul
Hawli,
my
queen,
my
heart,
my
everything
You
are
the
melody
that
makes
my
spirit
sing
Mother
of
Aissata,
Babagale,
and
Tidiane
too
Ablayou
and
Siraji,
they
all
look
up
to
you
From
Senegal’
s
golden
shores
to
Zambia’
s
open
plains
You
wash
away
the
shadows
and
you
heal
my
deepest
pains
My
life
was
just
a
puzzle
until
you
took
my
hand
The
greatest
gift
I’
ve
known
in
all
this
promised
land
Oh
Hawli,
my
guido,
my
north
star
in
the
night
Everything
I
do,
I
do
it
for
your
light
I
love
you
so
much,
more
than
words
could
ever
say
You
brighten
every
morning
and
you
calm
my
restless
day
Hawli
midee
yidma,
guido
aam,
my
soul
With
you
beside
me,
baby,
I
am
finally
whole
I
think
of
how
you
nurture,
how
you
keep
our
world
so
bright
Wrapping
every
child
of
ours
in
love
throughout
the
night
It
takes
a
special
woman
with
a
heart
of
pure
gold
To
hold
a
family
steady
through
the
stories
yet
untold
From
the
dust
of
the
savanna
to
the
spirit
of
the
sea
You’
re
the
only
destiny
that
ever
mattered
to
me
I’
m
honored
just
to
walk
this
life
right
here
by
your
side
With
nowhere
left
to
run
and
nothing
left
to
hide
Oh
Hawli,
my
guido,
my
north
star
in
the
night
Everything
I
do,
I
do
it
for
your
light
I
love
you
so
much,
more
than
words
could
ever
say
You
brighten
every
morning
and
you
calm
my
restless
day
Hawli
midee
yidma,
guido
aam,
my
soul
With
you
beside
me,
baby,
I
am
finally
whole
Across
the
miles,
across
the
years,
the
distance
fades
away
Your
name
is
in
my
prayers
at
the
closing
of
the
day
No
matter
where
we
wander,
no
matter
where
we
go
You
are
the
only
anchor
that
I’
ll
ever
need
to
know
My
guido,
my
everything
Oh
Hawli,
my
guido,
my
north
star
in
the
night
Everything
I
do,
I
do
it
for
your
light
I
love
you
so
much,
more
than
words
could
ever
say
You
brighten
every
morning
and
you
calm
my
restless
day
Hawli
midee
yidma,
guido
aam,
my
soul
With
you
beside
me,
baby,
I
am
finally
whole
I
love
you,
Hawli
Mother
of
my
children,
my
life
From
Senegal
to
Zambia
Always
you,
my
guido
Only
you (
