Ghanima is as clear and calm as the morning sun
In the noise and the darkness of her world,
In her gloomy days and nights, she is a warrior
Ghanima sinks, and her children float.

Ghanima is as clear and calm as the morning sun
In the noise and the darkness of her world,
In her gloomy days and nights, she is a warrior
Ghanima sinks, and her children float.
Hello there, my dear me, my old friend.
Life hasn’t done me any favours
Until now, for countless hours
And this is what I wanted to end.
I am the hero of my tale.
Paralysis, why did you come without warning?
As a teenager, I was full of dreams.
Oh, doctor, you fulfilled your dream of becoming a doctor.
But, alas, mine drowned in the stream.
Oh, doctor, was your intent as pure as it seemed?
You stole my dreams, a thief in broad daylight.
Lost and weak, I prayed for a joke.
But reality slaps me in the face and puts me to the test.
Maloya, Maloya, I know who you are.
Maloya, Maloya, I know where you are.
Your waves crash in the palm of my hands.
Your drums echo in my head.
Your spell exalts my mind and body.
Maloya, Maloya, you are my remedy.
I wish humanity could wake up and collectively make a decision,
Let’s listen to our hearts, as this world is in dire need of correction.
I am filled with so much pain and doubt inside myself.
When we see ourselves through their lens, we’re no longer ourselves.
