bamako

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Dusty roads beneath a fiery sun, Sounds of kora as the day is done. Market calls, a symphony of life, Finding peace amidst the friendly strife. Children laugh, their spirits bright and free, Underneath the ancient baobab tree. [Chorus] Oh, Bamako, city of my soul, Where the Niger flows and makes me whole. Rhythms beat, a pulse within my heart, Never wanting ever to depart. From your golden glow, your vibrant hue, My love for Bamako, forever true. [Verse 2] Stars ignite, a canvas in the dark, Lanterns glow, leaving their gentle mark. Sweet mint tea, a story to be told, By elders wise, with wisdom ages old. Dancers spin, a trance upon the ground, Every drumbeat makes a joyful sound. [Chorus] Oh, Bamako, city of my soul, Where the Niger flows and makes me whole. Rhythms beat, a pulse within my heart, Never wanting ever to depart. From your golden glow, your vibrant hue, My love for Bamako, forever true. [Bridge] Though miles may separate, and oceans roll, Your spirit whispers deep within my soul. A yearning memory, a burning flame, Always calling out your precious name. [Outro] Bamako... oh, Bamako... My heart beats with your flow... Bamako... yeah...
