Saya-Sona Jobarteh( Lyrics by Wilferd Abdoul Willey)

Written by Sona Jobarteh Malinke
Lyrics by Wilferd Abdoul Willey
Verse 1
Hmmmm,suba saya
in the darkness of death
the orphans cry
that disease is the source of death
can't you see i've suffered in pain??
I have no hope left in this world
because death broke my heart
but one has to resign to fate
mother.please help me accept this face
i'm talking to you,my love
listen to what i'm trying to say
my words have turned into air
CHORUS
No one can change destiny
do you know the pains of love
CHORUS CONT..
you left me here in darkness
heart broken and longing for you
only God can repay you
for what you did for me in this life
i promise you one thing
i will never forget you
VERSE 2
My mother told me that life is difficult
some are laughing while others cry everyday
when you left this world
you also took a part of me with you
the words you said to me
i still think about to this day
i promise you
until i die i will never forget you

Sona Jobarteh continues to touch our souls with her exquisite music. Even when we do not understand her words, we feel their message and our hearts respond...

[@darrellowings2343]

Isn't she beautiful?

[@chiarapacini5552]

Bellissima! Grande artista Sona Jobarteh!

[@valeryjaramillo8619]

Hermosos sonidos y ritmo de la música de África,m encanta desde el primer día que lo escuché,al igual que me quedé enamorada de su gente,sus raíces,hasta tuve un novio africano d Senegal,amigos africanos,he compartido mucho,los recuerdos los llevo en mi mente y corazón.

[@valeryjaramillo8619]

Estás canciones t llegan al fondo del alma y el corazón,t transporta a otra dimensión al escuchar,m fascina.

[@odiatraore2109]

For those asking about the song. She is speaking a Mandingo language. In the song she’s talking about how sad it is to lose a loved, one as in death.

[@lomohidangchahari2911]

I hope Sona Jobarteh is alive, and if she still have the energy to continue dealing with music, I m going to send children to her school of music to learn her extraordinary knowledge about music's. Throughout her songs, she is always attached to customs of classical Gambia music as if she feels how genuine and impressive the classical music of Gambia is. She also look well disciplined and descent in the way she acts. These are just my observations about her.

[@dmte6440]

She still alive

She invented a new instrument called the Nkoni for use in many of the compositions to capture a unique sound..... This instrument is a cross between the kora and the Donso Ngoni expanding the tonality and mood of the African musical sonic
