Ilia Songtext / Lyric

Gone is the man

Who loved his land

More than day

If his heart had to leave

His soul was to stay



Hear them calling

From the mountains

Calling from the plains

Hear the wind

Through the leaves

Singing lonely refrains



Banza banza banza banza ixiámi

Ixiámi muá ngola

Ngolo banza Ngolo banza oh kima



Uá nguivila ngo mueniomo

Ni ji pangue já kuteka

Kuilatata uá mudié zé-zé

Mukonda diá nzó

Pray for the man

Who left his land

Aching for better days

A man whos heart s

Bound to bleed

For the ones who remain



Uá nguivila ngo mueniomo

A mu tele oh ndo

Muloji mala kua muxima

Kua mu jia

Muene u diene

Mu ixié iá muxima kifussa
