about

Lady of Ndangane is a world/pop/rock track about hope, belonging and perspective. Dreams every human has

lyrics

Where the road touches
The river saloum
In a village called Ndangane

The last ray of sunlight
Touches the Baobab
In the village called Ndangane

Your most precious batik
Give your eyes away
In a village called Ndangane

Walking under the setting sun
She was thinking about her life to come
Her future lay dead ahead
The promises she never kept

Leaving everything she knew behind
Unknown citylights , they felt so right
Bo Diaf Lakass is what her mother said
As she kissed her farewell
Tears she knew too well


Where the road Touches
The river Saloum
Were her soul still roams, Ndangane

The last rays of sunlight
Touch the Baobab
Forgotten promises in Ndnagane
