LES NUBIANS - MAKEDA

TWO BEAUTIFUL AFRICAN SISTAS, THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY, WHEN I WAS YOUNGER ME AND MY MOM USE TO LISTEN TO THEIR SONGS ALL THE TIME BUT CLEARLY WE KNEW NOTHING OF WHAT THEY SAID BUT I SURE SPOKE FLUENT FRENCH TO THIS TRACK LOL (the beat is sick) .....THE MUSIC SOUNDS SO BEAUTIFUL I REALLY LOVE THIS SONG "MAKEDA" .....DID SOME RESEARCH FOUND THE LYRICS TO THE SONG AFTER ALL THESE YEARS LOL





TRANSLATION-MAKEDA

One wants to make us believe in lost mythsParts of history are corrupted and re-examined From Ramses to Mandela, So many unspoken truths By being unaware of the original story,one wanders without goal

Makeda was queen, beautiful and powerfulSolomon dreamed of her black skin I sing to revive the memoriesTo exhume knowledgeThat the spiral of time erases

The Queen of Sheba lives in meMakeda lives in me.

Let us revive our memoryThe history should be changedHistory is being deformed by words….NoThe knowledge and wisdom are within reachListen and pay attention

Makeda was queen, beautiful and powerfulSolomon dreamed of her black skinI sing to revive the memoriesTo exhume knowledgeThat the spiral of time erases

The Queen of Sheba lives in meMakeda lives in me.

My people dance and singThey express their joy Far from ignoranceThey show their faith

Blessed with men and values We repair the errorsSons and daughters you and meReady for the fight

Makeda was queen, beautiful and powerfulSolomon dreamed of her black skinI sing to revive the memoriesTo exhume knowledgeThat the spiral of time erases

The Queen of Sheba lives in meMakeda lives in me.
