Testo: Angelique Kidjo. Keep On Moving: The Best Of Angélique Kidjo. The Sound Of The Drums.

I've been away for so long that I wonder
If the sound of the drums
Still has its power.
I've been away for so long that I wonder
If the sound of the drums
Still has its power. Min bisse kple bo dote bohissi do houngan le
Etchi nou min do nounkonton tche die
Bolonin vodounon dje ho do djiii
Noue do edeo sinyin din
Nougbo we
Bo minbi non zeta, minbi non zeta
Minbi do nougbo we Fa fa fa fa fa
