letra de a song for you (na tondi wa) - juwon simmons

Loading...

intro ( nina simone ) :
you don’t know what love is, till you learned the meaning of the blues , till you learned to love and had to lose , you don’t know what love is

verse 1:

met her alone as i paddled river sanaga
had me on point like a berber in a djellaba
or alhadji in a purple danshiki
grounded and smart , trailing dust like a pixie

speaking in verse words of tribal poetry
eloquent of tongue, like the yoruba and bayangi
bantu daughter, like no other, nothing come before
she was it like no one coming after

we navigated to her temple of the thirsty
goddess poured rain , till a flood came to quench me
how she teased me, then she pleased me
she said pledge me allegiance , never leave me

promise that i , break promise i die
i is ra , elle, is isis , my cardiac crisis
caught up in her cloud, psyche drifty
moon beams shine upon the spot where her feet be, heal me

hook:

na tondi wa , i wrote this song for you x 4

verse 2:

standing at the edge of a cliff, with my hand on her hip
empty head like a gl-ss giving last sips
mindless , thoughts freezing , i can’t think
for no real reason , she’s inert like she’s not breathing

and so we stare eye to eye , speaking volumes in silence , hush , no words could describe this , bliss
no ease , pacing in the presence of personified grace
and so i wrote this piece

kings came before , but none came with the power to make it through the war that she’s waging
i said ‘milady put your weapons , this is peace that we’re making
make love, let this planet be the baby we’re creating’

she locked me in a hug, overwhelming like a subtle drug, water down her cheeks, turned the carpet to a holy rug, cloudy emotion, sleepy hollow in a dreamy fog
bonaberi lady, redefining beauties catalog

hook:

ndolo
na tondi wa , i wrote this song for you x 4
