Red Roots

Sinalé

Oom, oom
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

The wind brings
A forgotten dance
Drums are playing
Not by chance

I close my eyes
I feel the beat
Earth still flows
The same old heat

Umbala obomvu
In my hand

Umbala obomvu
In the land

Ooh, ooh
Hey, ya, hey, ya

Red faces
Around the fire
Hearts in trance
Bodies transpire

My feet sweep
My arms sway
Dust rises
Then floats away

Ah, ah
Ooh, ooh

Umbala obomvu
In the flame

Ah, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh

Umbala obomvu
In my name

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, ya, hey, ya
Hey, ya, hey, ya
Hey, ya

Drums like thunder
Lightning spirits
Hearts in frenzy
Loosen limits

My leg goes up
My leg comes down
I stomp the ground
Home is found

Umbala obomvu
Carries me whole

Ah, ah, ah

Umbala obomvu
Roots my soul

Oom, ooh
Oom, ooh

They jump, they dance
They play their part
I move along
I make my art

They sing, they hum
They chant, they scream
I hear their voices
In my dream

Ooh, ooh
Ah, ah

Umbala obomvu
I hear their cry

Ah, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh

Umbala obomvu
I comply

Hey, ya, hey, ya
Ooh, ooh
Oom, oom, oom
Oom, oom, oom
Hum, hum
