I need some help finding some lyrics...

Postby FreekAce » Wed Feb 09, 2011 5:53 pm

I've always been a big Damon Albarn fan, and on his album Mali Music there's a song called The Djembe. i've been looking around online for the lyrics but have not been succesful so far.

Is there anyone here that know's the album and either knows where to get the lyrics or perhaps speaks the language and can help me translate?

Here's a link to the Amazon site that has a sample of the lyrics.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Djembe/dp/B001JE5URY

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

yeah, i cant get enough of this album. it has some mesmerizing songs, especially the ones with the re-occuring theme. thats why i'd like to know some of the lyrics, not just to know what they mean, but also to sing.

Thanks for introducing him to me. Never heard him nor of him before tonight. I liked, a lot, the song, "Le Hogon."
Anisoo!

Im glad you like it. DA is the frontman for Blur and one of the creators of Gorillaz. Another really great concept album he did with this "superband" (bassplayer from the Clash, guitarist from the Verve and master afro-beat drummer Tony Allen, produced by DangerMouse) is The Good,The Bad and The Queen. All of which i'd recommend.

As for Mali Music, im totally hooked on that album. Been playing it a ton lately. Wish i could find more info on the songs though ;)
