[male vocals] Chale,
gather
round,
listen
to
the
story
From
the
heart
of
Sandema
to
the
world
I
look
back
at
the
days
when
we
were
small
In
the
compound
house,
standing
proud
and
tall
Grandmother
Bawa
Adama,
the
pillar
of
our
soul
You
gave
us
the
strength
to
finally
feel
whole
You
taught
us
to
work,
you
taught
us
to
pray
To
keep
our
heads
high
in
the
heat
of
the
day
From
Sandema
fields
to
the
bright
city
light
Your
memory
shines
through
the
darkest
of
night
Oh
Bawa
Adama,
we
sing
for
your
name
Our
family
fire,
a
flickering
flame
Mama
Matilda,
you
carry
the
grace
Uncle
Warmless,
a
smile
on
your
face
Prosper
and
Nurudeen,
standing
so
true
Bashiru
the
proud,
we
honor
all
you
Auntie
Ama,
our
love
is
for
you
This
family
legacy,
born
from
the
dew
Uncle
Warmless,
you
keep
the
peace
in
the
room
Driving
away
all
the
shadows
and
gloom
Uncle
Prosper,
you
light
up
the
way
Leading
the
brothers
to
a
brighter
day
Uncle
Nurudeen,
with
wisdom
so
deep
A
promise
you
made
is
a
promise
you
keep
Bashiru,
the
proud
man,
standing
so
strong
Showing
the
brothers
where
we
all
belong
Oh
Bawa
Adama,
we
sing
for
your
name
Our
family
fire,
a
flickering
flame
Mama
Matilda,
you
carry
the
grace
Uncle
Warmless,
a
smile
on
your
face
Prosper
and
Nurudeen,

the
proud,
we
honor
all
you
Auntie
Ama,
our
love
is
for
you
This
family
legacy,
born
from
the
dew
Eii!
The
roots
that
you
planted,
they
grow
to
the
sky
We
cherish
the
memories,
we
never
say
goodbye
Chale,
look
at
us
now,
we’
re
standing
as
one
Under
the
light
of
the
Sandema
sun
Mama
Matilda,
your
heart
is
of
gold
Stories
of
courage
that
never
grow
old
Auntie
Ama,
you
hold
us
so
tight
Guiding
the
family
through
every
night
We
chop
life
together,
we
laugh
and
we
dance
Giving
our
future
a
beautiful
chance
Oh
Bawa
Adama,
we
sing
for
your
name
Our
family
fire,
a
flickering
flame
Mama
Matilda,
you
carry
the
grace

forth
Yoo!
