I'm travelling light
I'm going to Baba Nango
I'm leaving tonight
I'm going to Baba Nango
I'm leaving my crying behind
Going to Baba Nango
And when my people see me
They will say halala
It's the child of the hungry earth

Wo halala
Halalo halala
Halala
Halala
Halalo halala
Ingane yakithi
Wo halala
Halalo halala
Halalo
Halala
Halalo halala
Ingane yakithi
Halala
Halalo halala
Ingane yakithi
Halala
Halalo halala
Ingane yakithi

I'm going back to find my eyes blinded by the night
I know a star that shines above Baba Nango
I'm going back to find a lost child calling
And when my people see me
They will say halala
It's the child of the dark morning

Wo halala
Halalo halala
Halala
Halala
Halalo halala
Ingane yakithi
Wo halala
Halalo halala
Halalo
Halala
Halalo halala
Ingane yakithi
Halala
Halalo halala
Ingane yakithi
Halala
Halalo halala
Ingane yakithi
Halala
Halalo halala
Ingane yakithi
Halala
Halalo halala
Ingane yakithi

Woodsmoke clinging to the evenings in Baba Nango
Warm bodies curled in a fireplace in Baba Nango
My name is on the lips of an old woman mourning
And when my people see me
They will say halala
It's the child of the dark morning

Wo halala
Halalo halala
Halala
Halala
Halalo halala
Ingane yakithi
Wo halala
Halalo halala
Halala
Halala
Halalo halala
Ingane yakithi
Halala
Halalo halala
Ingane yakithi
Halala
Halalo halala
Ingane yakithi
Halala
Halalo halala
Ingane yakithi
