# CDXXIII - A man out of his land

[Londres - Dez'10]

Estive numa loja (absolutamente excepcional!) da National Geographic.

E no British Museum.

Ambos me remeteram, entre outras coisas, para África.

E lembrei-me desta canção... um dueto improvável entre a Dani Klein e o Bonga.

Ilia
Vaya Con Dios & Bonga


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 ixi mi
Ixi mi mu n’gola
N’golo banza N’golo banza oh kima

U n’guivila n’go mueniomo
Ni ji pangue jé kuteka
Kuilatata u mudi zé-zé
Mukonda di n’zé

Ilia uaié
Uaié- uaié
Ilia uaié
Kalunga n’gumba ué mambata
Ilia uaié
Uaié - uaié
Ilia uaié
Kalunga n’gumba u mambata
Uaié uaié
Uaié uaié

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

U n’guivila n’go mueniomo
A mu tele oh n’do
Muloji mala kua muxima
Kua mu jia
Muene u diene
Mu ixi i muxima kifussa

Ilia Ilia Ilia
The land is calling out your name
Ilia Ilia Ilia
Hear them calling out your name
Ilia
Uaié, uaié
Uaié uaié
