Sango by Adam Chisvo

This song will resonate with people who have left their homes. At home “mu Kumusha” things are familiar. Adam uses the analogy of a hunter in the bush “mu sango” to express the hardship that comes with leaving familiar ground, looking for work, trying to establish oneself, travails analogous to being a hunter musango.

English Lyrics

In the wilderness there is total darkness
I am in the wilderness and it is dark x2

Verse 1

We are in the wilderness my young brother
We are in the wilderness my young sister
We are in the wilderness my beloved ones
It is extremely dark here

Verse 2

We have gone to search in this wilderness
We have found nothing and we are tired x2

Chorus
In the wilderness there is total darkness
I am in the wilderness and it is dark x2

(Repeat Verse 1)

We are in the wilderness my young brother
We are in the wilderness my young sister
We are in the wilderness my beloved ones
It is extremely dark here

(Repeat Verse 2)

We have searched in this wilderness
We have found nothing and we are tired x2
