Once, a man on the street I met
Elegantly dressed in tattered clothes
Different colours it had
More to come
...
I hear wailing in the streets
Wailing from the deepest pits
Tears flooding ebony feet
'Woe, woe, woe to them all
...
My heart, my love
My loving dove
Beautiful as the morning sun
In you I find a living song
...
We were friends
Just friends
I smiled at you
You smiled back
...
The hour draws nigh
For the coming messiah
What shall he be?
What shall our eyes behold?
...
Our friendship none compare
Thick, thin, you are there
Like the sweet scenting flowers
Our friendship shall bloom
...
Tick tock goes the clock
I stare into empty space-
Nothing
The earth dancing the Waltz
...
On a cold harmattan night
After a long day's toil
Heavy at heart was I
Until I heard the sweet voices
...
Lilo da dadi
Place me on that merry swing
On a day so bright
Face full of happy bliss
...
