The Sun Went Down Lyrics by Leni Stern

Dakar Suite

2016

The sun went down across a western sky
The water in the lake downhill turned black
The wind came up and made the willows sigh
My heart woke up, my happiness came back
Wadji mingi niow, dila won boppom
Wante lingey khalat nekoul chi mom
Khebate bahul, m’ba sewol nit
Byelen kheb, khebate bahul
Gis nit ke di dokh, nirohk talibe
Nekete e’oh nitu yalallah
Some people know to read the planets
Some look at stars or shells and hands
The gift of second sight is magic
Begins at birth and never ends
Wadji mingi niow...
I know there are many faces hidden
Behind the faces that we see
But I don’t know why I was thinking
That you could shift your shape into a bird
And fly away at night
Or be a cat and go to sleep, still purring
Curled up at my feet
Wadji mingi niow
I know there are many faces hidden
Behind the faces that we see
But I don’t know why I was thinking
That you could shift your shape into a bird
And fly away at night
Or be a cat and go to sleep, still purring
Curled up at my feet
Wadji mingi niow
