LETRA

Ilia

Gone is the man
Who loved his land
More than day
If his heart had to leave
His soul was to stay

Hear them calling
From the mountains
Calling from the plains
Hear the wind
Through the leaves
Singing lonely refrains

Banza banza banza banza ixiámi
Ixiámi muá n’gola
N’golo banza N’golo banza oh kima

Uá n’guivila n’go mueniomo
Ni ji pangue já kuteka
Kuilatata uá mudié zé-zé
Mukonda diá n’zó

Pray for the man
Who left his land
Aching for better days
A man who’s heart ‘s
Bound to bleed
For the ones who remain

Uá n’guivila n’go mueniomo
A mu tele oh n’do
Muloji mala kua muxima
Kua mu jia
Muene u diene
Mu ixié iá muxima kifussa
