Be sure to listen to Sona Jobarteh, Kora player from Gambia! I tried to imitate her music, and I expressed what I listen in her voice and what I see in her eyes.

Sanft, wie Wasser, das fällt
Sanft, wie Regen, der netzt die Welt
Sanft, wie eine Hand, die streicht deinen Kopf

Stimme, sanft in dein Ohr
Hände schlagen den Klang empor
Augen leuchten und
Worte lodern hell

Schrei, wenn du musst,
dein Herz schrei,
wenn du musst,
dein Herz schrei,
wenn du musst,
dein Herz schrei,
dein Herz, dein Schrei

Gently, like water falling
Gentle, like rain that nets the world
Gentle as a hand that strokes your head

Voice, soft in your ear
Hands are beating up the sound
Eyes are shining and
Words blaze bright

Cry out if you must,
your heart cry out,
if you must,
your heart cry out,
if you must,
your heart scream,
your heart, your cry
