lyrics
O i yetu Senegal Oh ee she’s going to Senegal
O i o Celestine Oh ee oh Celestine
Mama nahangnool echen Mother gave her a necklace
Ajiro tindaume, koriye blengarool The beautiful girl, she caught the bus
Ukaton ayo marse, ajiro i o We went to the market, girl ee oh
Kuliinom kono nauswe katonool yome My sisters told me to sigh and let her go
Ajiro ajonjon, ajiro tindaume Pretty girl, beautiful girl
Koriye blengarool She caught the bus
Powerful collection rooted in the stories that must be re-told. Played by some of the most generous community music people I’ve met during my foray into Old Time music.
This CD is a keeper! Ellen B. (Elly) Marshall
