Lyrics
Say
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You know what they say when they say - you got it coming to you
(Only in a matter of time will it come to you)
And then you're faced with the choice - I guess to give your love
(It's only when you're ready to do it)
It's just a point of the game - you've gotta push it to you
(Opening the spirit in your heart)
And now you're finally convinced - it will work for you
I guess that's what they try to say to you
(Na si ma wU, Na si mEndE pE tU milla munE mundi)
To you, to you, to you
(Na si ma wU, Na si mEndE pE tU milla munE mundi)
And you, and you, and you
(Na si ma wU, Na si mEndE pE tU milla munE mundi)
To you, to you, to you
They say it's better to be blind - to see what really happens
(I don't believe that for one minute)
I'm just a cog in the wheel - I twist and then I turn
(Anyway is better than no way at all)
Please tell me where are you now - an independent feeling
(You imagine what you want to be)
You've grown so tall in your world - begin to see the light
I guess that's what they try to say to you
To you, to you, to you
I can rely on your love - to help me through tomorrow
(Only if you want to be alive)
Alive and clear as it can be - I want you on my side
(Only if you promise to be true)
I do reach out for the time - to make it all better
(Better than forever really to be yeah)
So now the game is coming clear - clearer into view
I guess that's what they try to say to you
To you, to you, to you
(Na si ma wU, Na si mEndE pE tU milla munE mundi)
And you, and you, and you
(Na si ma wU, Na si mEndE pE tU milla munE mundi)
To you, to you, to you
(Na si ma wU, Na si mEndE pE tU milla munE mundi)
Olo lo le le le Ole lo la la la
Bona bato nbana binyU ya sEnga lambo
Ekola kola mimbu, di mana nU yEn wendji
BalanE bisU wonE ba tmibanE bisU wanE
TU ndjika pasa wasE pE ba malanE nU bisU
TU ndjika pata loko pE ba malanE nU bisU
Ka bunya bo ma busa nU, ka WeO I ma dipa nU
Ka benon be ma IUngUm ka ngila I ma kUmU nU
NdE bato ba ma tUpU nU, ndE longuE mU di mala nU
Na nbu pE mi ma tomba nU, ndE longuE mU di mala nU
