Lyrics and Translations for Tonight's Program

Iṣẹ́ Olúwa


Translation:

God’s work/the work of The Creator can never be spoiled/destroyed/bad.


El Pescador

Translation:

SOLO

The current is rising, with hammock and fishing net

The bahareque* canoe, in order to get to the beach

CHORUS

The fisherman, talks with the moon

The fisherman, talks with the beach

The fisherman, has no fortune, only his fishing net.

SOLO

The fishermen come back, with their catch to sell

To their beloved port, where they hold their lovers.

CHORUS

The fisherman, talks with the moon

The fisherman, talks with the beach

The fisherman, has no fortune, only his fishing net.


Samba Malató

Translation:

The Samba (woman dancing Samba) passes with the basin.

Dancing, she moves so they can see her.

The little bird with the red chest.

That's what happens black (man/bird), when you fall in love.

In scrubbing and battering, the time has passed.

Waits and waits for the time for Samba to come.

The Samba passes with the basin.

Dancing, she moves so they can see her.

The black woman moves so they can see her.

Commanding, commanding.

With the basin, the black woman moves.

La Piragua


Translation:

My grandparents told me that a long time ago

A canoe was sailing on the Cesar (a river in north region of Colombia)

That started from the Banco (a municipality in the Magdalena region of Colombia) old port

To the beaches of love in Chimichagua (another municipality in the north region of Colombia)

Splashing the gale shuddered

And impassively braved the storm

And an army of stars followed her

Studding it with light and legend

It was the canoe of Guillermo Cubillo


Ndandihleli


Translation:

I am sitting in the dark

I am thinking of my love

I miss my love

I miss my sweetie

I miss my darling,

My love

I am sitting in the dark

I am dying of HIV

I miss my love

I miss my sweetie

I miss my darling,

My love
