Carry It On

I want to see people dancing in the streets
I want to see people dancing every night of the week
I want to see people making music, being proud of who they are
Proud of where they come from
I want to see people shaking hands with each other
No judgement at all
I want to see people listen to each other, really listen
Wey hey hey, we carry it on, we make it our own
Wey hey hey, we pass it on down, through generations
And everybody has something they can learn and something they can teach
Even the child who smiles shy in the doorway, she knows something you don’t know
Even the poor man you see on the corner rattling the remnants of his dreams
Even the wealthy man who sits in his mansion searching for something, searching for something
If you listen you will hear the sound
You might hear the sound of a friend you never know
If you listen you will hear the sound
You might hear the sound of revolution
If you listen you will hear the sound
You might hear the sound of a heart breaking open
If you listen you will hear the sound
You just might hear the sound of peace
Wey hey hey, we carry it on, we make it our own
Wey hey hey, we pass it on down, through generations

Come on Down
03:42

Don’t mind the weather
Just stick together
And if it’s hot then the weather’s getting dangerous, it don’t matter to me
Many a man who would take a cold weapon and shoot you down dead in the street
And if a child want to grow right wild eyed we’d got to give him peace
It’s hard to grow when the guns keep blazing every day in the land of the free
Come on down now people just come on down
We’ve got work to do ain’t no use lying around
We’ve got to hold this city up like a mother’s grown child
Keep singing these songs when the going gets tough then the people still smile
And I could float down the whole Mississippi St. Paul to New Orleans
Lean pickings hard times in America tell you just what I’ve seen
Come on down now people just come on down
We’ve got work to do ain’t no use lying around
In Wolof:
Yagg na yagg na yagg na
Yagg na mbeur mi maam mo ko daan
Reukko ngi saa ndiaye
Mbiri biri mbato
Mbato mbato yeuboo
Mbato mbako yeubat
Cow li cow li lu ko waral
Sama ganyi juggal wuti ligeey
Duggal wuti job
Wax ci keur gi
Moo jeri nyula dara
Doxoontu ci keur gi
Moo jeri nyula dara
(Long time, long time, long time ago
My ancestors played sabar
I’m giving a blessing
The talk, the talk, why the talk
We need to stand up and work
Just talk isn’t enough
Hanging out is not enough)
Come on down now people just come on down
We’ve got work to do ain’t no use lying around

Rhythm's In the Melody
03:59

If you cannot find your feet
Now let it move, let it move you
Feel it in your body
Now let it move, let it move you
It’s been there for three thousand years
Now let it move, let it move you
The rhythm’s in the melody
Now let it move, let it move you
The rhythm’s in the melody
The rhythm’s in the melody
The rhythm’s in the melody
It may be new it may be old
But it’s got roots down in your soul
It don’t matter where you come from
Go ahead and lose control
The rhythm’s in the melody
The rhythm’s in the melody
The rhythm’s in the melody
Beautiful Line
The band composed this as a whole at a rehearsal in 2018. Later, Elias wrote the lyrics and Lamine composed the bàkk.
He’s got his hands upon the wheel, eyes on the road
The rainy city goes by in streaks, out the window
Don’t you feel like we’re sleeping, feel like we’re dreaming
and if we could wake up, what kind of world would we grow?
His pain sits with mine, but we sit alone
Strangers and yet we both think it’s possible
In these conversations I feel there’s a home for all of us somewhere
He goes left at the bridge and I’m lost in the glaze of the evening glow
And it’s so hard to know where to turn or if this is our road
But I know there is peace and kindness where we go
And I can see the green valley of hope laid out before us
We have to walk towards it
We have to try for it
So what would it look like he says, I want to know
We’re sitting at a stoplight just waiting for the signal to go
I see houses of plenty where the doors are always open
He says I see my grandmother’s face, and it’s not quite so broken, so broken
And it’s so hard to know where to turn or if this is our road
But I know there is peace and kindness where we go
And I can see the green valley of hope laid out before us
We have to walk towards it
We have to try for it

A' Ghrian

FÀILTE ort fein, a ghrian nan tràth,
'S tu siubhal ard nan speur ;
Do cheumaibh treun air sgeith nan ard,
'S tu màthair àigh nan reul.
Thu laighe sios an cuan na dith
Gun diobhail is gun sgàth ;
Thu 'g eirigh suas air stuagh na sith,
Mar rioghainn òg fo bhlàth.
Hail to thee, thou sun of the seasons,
As thou traversest the skies aloft ;
Thy steps are strong on the wing of the heavens,
Thou art the glorious mother of the stars.
Thou liest down in the destructive ocean
Without impairment and without fear ;
Thou risest up on the peaceful wave-crest
Like a queenly maiden in bloom.
Come on down, clap your hands now, clap your hands with me
We’re gonna dance all night, dance all day, till we all get free
