I wonder how part 2 and 3 looks like ...

@kariaudar good music regardless of genre and source, is often TIMELESS.

In the liner notes hamza said its about a young boy who awakes at dawn and hitches the oxen to waterwheel, and begins to turn it, and gradually the boy goes into a trance.
-
That's just my interpretation though...wish I could have asked him about it! Fortunately he was able to gather enough of the music of his people to share with the world before it was lost to the overflowing tides of Lake Nubia/Nassar.

The water wheel has been vital to Nubian agriculture for centuries...but I wonder if the "Water Wheel" he is referring to in the title of this song is actually the Aswan High Damn, which is basically an advanced form of the water wheel. Its construction displaced over 60,000 people including his village of Toshka. I feel like I can hear his grief in having lost his hometown, and the resulting dissolution of a people that still claim descent from the ancient Nubians.
