Right on, I still love it in my old age... this song even though in MIna-Ewe from Benin West Africa, has and contains a subliminal message that calm down babies and adult spirit of any culture. I sand to babies and they always stop crying. Great post.
This song is a lullaby. I'll try my best unfortunately without all the poetry... calm down kid, calm down baby, Nana is not home, tata is not home, my darling stop crying.
Nobody's at home, who are you going to cry for? My darling stop crying. Do you want to be carried? do you want do sit on my lap? Do you want to eat? Do you want to breast feed? My child don't cry! who hurt you? is it little Paul? Tell me and I'll punish him. My baby don't cry, calm down - Anybody else wanna give it a try?
Would a Beninois be kind enough to translate for those of us who love GG so much.
This is an Epic piece. It sounds as fresh as when I was growing up in the late sixties. GG, you are a man of all times. I love you and your people so very much.
j'adore
