Track 12 Judu Bek May 2008 Universal WRASS218

I do not know what is the title story and I do not know any lyrics but I can think of that angel as Jeff, that we can offer the most profound and emotional interpretation of the song

Wasis Diop of Senegal has left many years ago, is a world citizen, is a nomad, therefore all the album you are accompanied by a nostalgia of intense areas, where hundreds of kilometres not breathe gruelling than the wind in boiling sun, to full then a movie forever that we follow supine, glued to the ground and the night sky coming towards you in myriad of stars

Thanks to Babylon Noise Music Blog for the writeup (Romanian translation) http://babylonoise.wordpress.com/

  • "Jiné Ji, is about the demon we have in all of us, a demon we actually come to protect in the end. It's as if we don't want to let our personal demons go because somewhere down the line we think we need them. It's a cover of a song by my fellow countryman El Hadj Ndiaye." "The photo was taken in Senegal. I'm supposed to be in the photo somewhere. The only person I can definitely identify in the picture is my cousin. I don't think I'm in the frame actually. I've sort of dropped off the edge."

  • The wind has brought me a message from afar

    the local guitar player sung a melody

    Which can never be forgotten

    The family head saw something

    As clear as the moon

    the wise-man knows

    What attraction causes in a heart

    My good spirit

    I have remained alone

    With my thoughts

see all

  • Juste un regret, la chanson est trop courte

  • This is a rough translation of the Japanese part ( it was hard to hear at some places)

    Right, left, right, which should (I) choose?

    There is a ghost deep in my heart

    Yesterday, today, yesterday

    Yesterday, today, yesterday

    Destiny’s window

    Yesterday, today, yesterday

    (indistinguishable part) inside (my) heart the phantoms of light and darkness dance

    the phantoms of light and darkness dance

  • A great song!

  • beautiful .......truly

  • very well said

  • Jinné

    The wind has brought me a message

    From afar my genie

    Here comes my genie

    Without you I am so lonely

  • And I wonder at this life Jinne, Jinn/spirit, here comes my good spirit Without you I am so lonely In my dream the paradise bird came to me Strange, strange The local guitar starts laughing The squirrel went through the hole To come out again at the door of the world It is known It is recognized The visionary saw it The wind has brought me
