Oh,
yeah
For
the
one
who
holds
it
all
together
My
Hawli
Ba
Listen
From
the
banks
of
the
Senegal
flowing
to
the
heart
of
Zambia
You
are
the
center
of
my
world,
my
own
encyclopedia
Mother
of
Aissata,
Babagale,
Tidian
and
Ablaye
too
And
little
Siraji,
everything
I
do
is
for
you
Through
the
distance,
through
the
years,
you
stay
the
same
I
whisper
to
the
wind
and
it
echoes
your
name
Hawli
Ba,
my
rock,
the
rhythm
of
my
soul
You’
re
the
only
one
who
makes
this
broken
heart
feel
whole
Hawli
Ba,
I
love
you
so
much,
can’
t
you
see?
You
are
the
guiding
light
that’
s
standing
next
to
me
Hawli
Midee
Yidma,
my
Guido,
my
pride
With
you
by
my
side,
there’
s
nowhere
left
to
hide
My
beautiful
queen,
the
mother
of
my
kin
I’
m
lost
in
the
love
that’
s
radiating
from
within
Hawli
Ba,
you
are
my
Guido,
my
everything
To
you,
my
heart
will
always
want
to
sing
I
look
at
our
children
and
I
see
your
grace
in
their
eyes
A
blessing
from
above,
a
beautiful,
sweet
surprise
From
the
savanna
heat
to
the
nights
under
the
stars
You’
ve
healed
every
doubt
and
you’
ve
hidden
all
the
scars
No
matter
where
we
roam
or
where
the
road
might
lead
You
are
the
garden
where
I
plant
every
seed
My
Hawli,
my
lady,
the
anchor
of
the
home
With
you,
my
heart
will
never
feel
the
need
to
roam
Hawli
Ba,
I
love
you
so
much,
can’
t
you
see?
You
are
the
guiding
light
that’
s
standing
next
to
me
Hawli
Midee
Yidma,
my
Guido,
my
pride
With
you
by
my
side,
there’

My
beautiful
queen,
the
mother
of
my
kin
I’

the
love
that’
s
radiating
from
within
Hawli
Ba,
you
are
my
Guido,
my
everything
To
you,
my
heart
will
always
want
to
sing
It’
s
a
long
journey,
but
we’
re
walking
hand
in
hand
Building
a
legacy
across
this
beautiful
land
From
Senegal’
s
sun
to
the
Zambian
sky
Our
love
is
the
reason
that
we
never
say
goodbye
My
Guido,
my
heart,
my
soul,
my
breath
I’
ll
love
you
until
my
final
hour,
even
unto
death
Hawli
Ba,
