"One wants to make us believe in lost myths Parts of history are corrupted and re-examined From Ramses to Mandela, (*) So many unspoken truths (*) By being unaware of the original story, one wanders without goal Makeda was queen, beautiful and powerful Solomon dreamed of her black skin (*) I sing to revive the memories To exhume knowledge That the spiral of time erases The Queen of Sheba lives in me Makeda lives in me.
Makeda is the Queen of Sheba. This song talks about how they think people changed the history about her and King Solomon. They believe that Makeda (Queen of Sheba) is a stronger person than portrayed in history. They also believed that she is inside of them. La reine de Saba vit en moi; Makeda vit en moi. (translate) The Queen of Sheba lives in me; Makeda lives in me. P.S. I don't know French.
Halala! Trop bien la music. Elles sont toutes belles aussi. Cameroun en place. Je suis plutot soul, neo-soul et vu que ma langue maternelle c'est le Francais, ca fait plaisir d'ecouter de la soul et Francais.
I remember being a little girl 1st hearing this song and being so enchanted and spiritually moved and even to this day I still am. This song just takes me away.
Love, Love, LOVE this song! I even sing along in French, and I didn't even take French classes! They are the reason why I do WANT to learn French....even if it's on my own.
I remember when my city had that true flavor but Katrina came and washed it all away now the crackas scrambling for what's left... Black ppl must wake up b4 it's to late
These sisters are proof that music is a universal language because before I even knew what they were saying....I could feel it. Since then I have translated all of their songs and it still gives off the same feelings....amazing !
Becacoup d amour pour les Nubiens et cette musique!
InI know it praises Queen of Sheba, mother of Solomonid Dynasty,
and thus world famous love story that has brought Beta Israelites, all kings up to King Selassie and Rastafari in 20th century! Keep the fyah burning inna dis time!
Youtube do me a favor..Im a young upcoming lyricist from the Southside of Chicago...We sampled this beat and made a song to it called Memories...If you can listen and leave comments..its called (Paul Calhoun-Memories)
My people dance and sing They express their joy Far from ignorance They show their faith Blessed with men and values We repair the errors Sons and daughters you and me Ready for the fight Makeda was queen, beautiful and powerful Solomon dreamed of her black skin I sing to revive the memories To exhume knowledge That the spiral of time erases The Queen of Sheba lives in me Makeda lives in me. I hope that helps with the translation all. It is a beautiful song indeed.
Makeda was queen, beautiful and powerful Solomon dreamed of her black skin I sing to revive the memories To exhume knowledge That the spiral of time erases The Queen of Sheba lives in me Makeda lives in me. Let us revive our memory The history should be changed History is being deformed by words….No The knowledge and wisdom are within reach Listen and pay attention
They want us to believe Myths Of A Lost Passages of History..Falsified and revised from Ramses to Mandela that true silent Ignoring the start, it wanders aimlessly. Makeda was queen, beautiful and powerful Solomon dreamed of her black skin I sing to revive the memories Unearthing the knowledge That the spiral of time erases. Queen of Sheba lives in me ...
Makeda lives in me. rekindle our memories I'll have to change history..it starts to drift, A drift of my woes Knowledge and wisdom Are close at hand Listen and observe ..Makeda was queen, beautiful and powerful Solomon dreamed of her black skin I sing to revive the memories unearthing the knowledge That the spiral of time erases .Queen of Sheba lives in me Makeda lives in me.... It's in french
They want us to believe Myths Of A Lost Passeages of History..Falsified and revised from Ramses to Mandela that true silent Ignoring the start, it wanders aimlessly. Makeda was queen, beautiful and powerful Solomon dreamed of her black skin I sing to revive the memories Unearthing the knowledge That the spiral of time erases. Queen of Sheba lives in me ...
They want to make us believe that old myths have been lost Moments of history that are *plastified* on books From Ramses to Mandela How many truth that are hush up Ignoring origins we are wandering without any goal Makeda was a queen a beauty and a strong (lady) Salomon was dreaming of her black skin I'm singing to make memories revived And knowledges exhumed Wich are fade away by time spring Sabba Queen is leaving on my-self Makeda Is living on my-self
This song came out when I was still in grammar school (I'm 20 now) I remember my dad playing it in the car while driving me to school. I think this is the FIRST song I ever learned how to sing in a foreign language ^_^ At 6 or 7 I didn't understand the meaning of what they were saying, but I could sing the lyrics in French from start to finish.
LOOKING AT THE #BILLBOARD CHART #MAGAZINE FROM 1999 MAY 8. R&B CHARTS. AND I SEEN #LES #MUBIAN MAKEDA. SO I TYPE THE SONG IN ON YOUTUBE NOT KNOWING THIS WAS THE SONG I BEN LOOKING FOR A LONG TIME. I STARTED TO THINK THIS SONG WAS NOT REAL IT WAS MY DREAM THAT MADE THIS SONG UP. LOL #RANDOM BUT #TRUE
@firstladyshine I don't consider myself a king. I just want to do right and it's not always easy. life is a struggle. anyway, if you knew the WACK looks that I used to get when I was like "Peace Queen!!" or "Excuse me sista!!" you'd definitely agree. The strip club is NOT a place for Nubian Queens. Do you disagree?
@afrikanspaceprogram I see where you're comin from. I guess I'm just an optamist. I'd rather look at a stripper as a lost or misguided queen. Also, don't feel too discouraged at some of the responses you get from women. Sometimes its irritating when too many come on to you, especially when every brotha that day just seems to like your outfit. And sometimes we don't know what we'll get. I could be nice when turnin someone down, but they still respond with "well fuck u bitch". U never know. KING!
@afrikanspaceprogram You keep doing what you do....It's called "A REAL MAN, GENTLEMAN" If a woman looks at you in an ignorant way when you approach her RESPECTFULLY, man that means SHE IS VERY IMMATURE. She is not at your level. So keep doing what you're doing, don't let anyone discourage your swag.....I LOVE IT! CALL ME THAT.....AND WATCH ME BLUSH!
FYI: There are many countries in Africa where the main spoken language is french. If that is the ONLY thing you can pull from this video then you're pathetic. The song is beautiful and this video captures the essence of normal street life in the country they're in.
@deathpooper it's new Orleans you retard and since when is France turning into a ghetto. Every country has poorer areas but don't blame black people and immigrants because even Europeans are poor too. If there was better government assistance programs that encouraged people to become independent and rise out of poverty then they wouldn't continue to have ghettos around the world. The rich people aren't willing to share the resources they want to stay on top.
@Bonitaymorena Listen to me you baboon, and listen carefully. At first glance, your opinion seems educated and logical. But unfortunately, it is flowed to the core. You assume everyone is equal. This is totally wrong. No matter how much you want to believe it, it simply isn't true. Every policy based on this flawed idea will FAIL. You know why Africa isn't getting any better economically? Because people like you assume blacks are just like us. Now you know why black ghettos will never go away.
@deathpooper - if you'd be one of the knucklehead type then the ghetto wont go away bc you wont go away. everyone is succeptable to something. with me, if there is martial arts & philosophy i'm drooling.
@three0234 In case you didn't know this, but blacks CREATE ghettos. You see, gullible people like you actually believe that blacks are forced to smoke crack, destroy their own neighborhoods, commit crimes at record breaking rates.
You take responsibility away from them and blame somebody else. This is how it goes with blacks. They are never responsible for their actions because there is always somebody to blame.
@deathpooper What the hell are you talking about? Jewish people were the first to be put into ghettos by the Nazis okay!! Not to mention the racist white people put the freed slaves into ghettos in New Orleans because they didn't have legal rights ot own land. There are plenty of successful black people who grew up in poor areas like Oprah!!! She could probably buy your house and then some so why don't you shut up!!! Some people are poor so what it's nothing to insult someone about!!!
@Bonitaymorena You are in denial. I'm not insulting poor people. I'm telling you the truth about blacks. They are too lazy and stupid to do anything. Your hero Oprah is an exception to the rule. US blacks average IQ is 15 pointer lower then whites. FACT. Now, if persons IQ is so low, how can you expect him to compete and innovate? Affirmative action is one way. Without it, blacks would be total failures. If you are smart, you will realize this. Btw, you are ugly as fuck. Wear a paperbag.
LOL. Please. Blacks have left their marks on many things.
Did you know much of Roman culture is based on North African society? So I guess that means much of America's culture is indirectly based on Africa.
Though not proportionally, blacks are represented in every field, including engineering, mathematics, finance, and the like. Don't make me pull out examples. Your tongue will hang all out from your white hood....yeah I said it.
@deathpooper LOL...I consider myself blessed for eliciting the "n" word. Let's me know I've hit a nerve, inferior brainturd.
Simple wikipedia searches will yield that Rome invaded North Africa because they were threatened. Greeks learned from Arabs.
By the way, RETARD, affirmative action didn't exist before the 60s and 70s. So can we at least agree any achiement of blacks before then was not a result? You need a logic class. The people on Black Voices.com give me better debates than you.
And about this IQ thingy. The fact that someone's IQ is lower means just that. IQ is lower. It does not measure intellectual POTENTIAL, creativity, or even the way synapses work. It's just a test.
Newton and Einstein, beacons in the field of mathematics and physics, tested poorly in school and were thought to be slow in some ways. Does that matter now?
African immigrants have higher IQ's than normal.
Asians do, too....so who's the MONKEY now?? ooh ooh ooh!
@deathpooper Actually, you have it reversed, oh idiot of lesser intelligence. People with money tend to have better education and better IQ's. IQs are largely influenced by socioeconomic status, parenting, and hard work. In a subtle way, you have ripped the foundation from your own argument.
Ignorant FOOL, Einstein came up with his best theories BEFORE the IQ test was invented.
Einstein was a poor student, as was Isaac Newton initially, look it up.

Sad to watch France turn into one huge ghetto.

@deathpooper
FYI: There are many countries in Africa where the main spoken language is french. If that is the ONLY thing you can pull from this video then you're pathetic. The song is beautiful and this video captures the essence of normal street life in the country they're in.

@stealstar233 Not the only thing. I also noticed a bunch of monkeys running around with no zookeeper in sight.

@deathpooper it's new Orleans you retard and since when is France turning into a ghetto. Every country has poorer areas but don't blame black people and immigrants because even Europeans are poor too. If there was better government assistance programs that encouraged people to become independent and rise out of poverty then they wouldn't continue to have ghettos around the world. The rich people aren't willing to share the resources they want to stay on top.

@Bonitaymorena Listen to me you baboon, and listen carefully. At first glance, your opinion seems educated and logical. But unfortunately, it is flowed to the core. You assume everyone is equal. This is totally wrong. No matter how much you want to believe it, it simply isn't true. Every policy based on this flawed idea will FAIL. You know why Africa isn't getting any better economically? Because people like you assume blacks are just like us. Now you know why black ghettos will never go away.

@deathpooper - if you'd be one of the knucklehead type then the ghetto wont go away bc you wont go away. everyone is succeptable to something. with me, if there is martial arts & philosophy i'm drooling.

@three0234 In case you didn't know this, but blacks CREATE ghettos. You see, gullible people like you actually believe that blacks are forced to smoke crack, destroy their own neighborhoods, commit crimes at record breaking rates.
You take responsibility away from them and blame somebody else. This is how it goes with blacks. They are never responsible for their actions because there is always somebody to blame.
Failed school? Slavery's fault.
Fired from job? Racism.
Poor? Discrimination.

@deathpooper What the hell are you talking about? Jewish people were the first to be put into ghettos by the Nazis okay!! Not to mention the racist white people put the freed slaves into ghettos in New Orleans because they didn't have legal rights ot own land. There are plenty of successful black people who grew up in poor areas like Oprah!!! She could probably buy your house and then some so why don't you shut up!!! Some people are poor so what it's nothing to insult someone about!!!

@Bonitaymorena You are in denial. I'm not insulting poor people. I'm telling you the truth about blacks. They are too lazy and stupid to do anything. Your hero Oprah is an exception to the rule. US blacks average IQ is 15 pointer lower then whites. FACT. Now, if persons IQ is so low, how can you expect him to compete and innovate? Affirmative action is one way. Without it, blacks would be total failures. If you are smart, you will realize this. Btw, you are ugly as fuck. Wear a paperbag.

LOL. Please. Blacks have left their marks on many things.
Did you know much of Roman culture is based on North African society? So I guess that means much of America's culture is indirectly based on Africa.
Though not proportionally, blacks are represented in every field, including engineering, mathematics, finance, and the like. Don't make me pull out examples. Your tongue will hang all out from your white hood....yeah I said it.

@keepyamoney Nigger, who do you think you try to fool here with your flawed history knowledge? If anything, roman empire was influenced by greeks.
North Africa is arabic. Pure blacks are in sub-saharan region.
Even if you find some examples, they are rare and/or Affirmative action was involved.

@deathpooper LOL...I consider myself blessed for eliciting the "n" word. Let's me know I've hit a nerve, inferior brainturd.
Simple wikipedia searches will yield that Rome invaded North Africa because they were threatened. Greeks learned from Arabs.
By the way, RETARD, affirmative action didn't exist before the 60s and 70s. So can we at least agree any achiement of blacks before then was not a result? You need a logic class. The people on Black Voices.com give me better debates than you.

@deathpooper
And about this IQ thingy. The fact that someone's IQ is lower means just that. IQ is lower. It does not measure intellectual POTENTIAL, creativity, or even the way synapses work. It's just a test.
Newton and Einstein, beacons in the field of mathematics and physics, tested poorly in school and were thought to be slow in some ways. Does that matter now?
African immigrants have higher IQ's than normal.
Asians do, too....so who's the MONKEY now?? ooh ooh ooh!

@keepyamoney Every rich country has high IQ populatuion. Every poor has low IQ. High IQ people are the ones who innovate and create.
Newton and Einstein had very high IQs. You disregard IQ because blacks are at the rock bottom. They are the monkeys.
deathpooper 1 year ago
@deathpooper Actually, you have it reversed, oh idiot of lesser intelligence. People with money tend to have better education and better IQ's. IQs are largely influenced by socioeconomic status, parenting, and hard work. In a subtle way, you have ripped the foundation from your own argument.
Ignorant FOOL, Einstein came up with his best theories BEFORE the IQ test was invented.
Einstein was a poor student, as was Isaac Newton initially, look it up.
