Quincy Jones, Letta Mbulu and The Wattsline Choir - Many Rains Ago (Oluwa)

Weeping willow tree
Tell me what you know
River were you cryin'
Many rains ago? ((Koleba je wo)

Sacred baobab tree
Lost your children to the sea
Taken from the land
Many rains ago

Koleba je wo (goodbye Motherland)
Koleba je wo
Wo, wo, wo

Sing me that old song
From many rains ago

Goodbye Motherland
Koleba je wo
Koleba je wo
Koleba je wo

When I die I'll live on and on
For many rains to come

Koleba je wo (goodbye Motherland)
(Koleba, Koleba)
Koleba je wo (goodbye)
(Koleba, Koleba) goodbye Motherland
Koleba je wo

(Koleba, Koleba)
Koleba je wo
(Koleba, Koleba)
Koleba je wo (goodbye)
(Koleba, Koleba) my Motherland
Koleba je wo
(Koleba, Koleba)
Koleba je wo
(Koleba, Koleba)
Koleba je wo
(Koleba, Koleba)
Koleba

Ko-Koleba je wo

For many rains to come
