Does anyone know the words Yusuf sings in the "new" version of Wild World on the "Cafe" DVD release...he always did some interesting things!
If you have Footsteps in the Light. All the Zulu lyrics are there written on the album insert.
Don't have that one unfortunately...do you have it? Just interested in those words
The
Footsteps in the Light version of "Wild World" is a nasheed - percussion only - and is not much like the
Yusuf's Cafe version. However, I used the lyrics from
Footsteps and the YouTube video
Wild World (Bana, Bana) – from Yusuf’s Café Session to write these lyrics:
(Words & Melody by Cat Stevens;
new arrangement by Yusuf Islam)
*Manjo hamm-ile, unglishiyile ingliziyo flungu (X2)
Oh, Bana, Bana it’s a wild world
It’s hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, Bana, Bana it’s a wild world
I’ll always remember you like a child
You know I’ve seen a lot of what the world can do
And it’s changing(?) my heart in two
‘Cause I never wanna see you sad, child
If you gotta leave take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
Then a lot of nice things turn bad out there
Oh, Bana, Bana it’s a wild world
It’s hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, Bana, Bana it’s a wild world
I’ll always remember you like a child
*Manjo hamm-ile, unglishiyile ingliziyo flungu (X2)
Oh, Bana, Bana it’s a wild world
It’s hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, Bana, Bana it’s a wild world
I’ll always remember you like a child
Oh, Bana, Bana it’s a wild world
It’s hard to get by just upon a smile
*Zulu
Here is the exact way the Zulu line is written in the
Footsteps lyrics booklet:
Manje uhambile, ungishiyile inhliziyo ibuhlungu
It doesn't sound exactly like this in the
Cafe version, so I tweaked the lyrics to reflect what I hear - you can listen very carefully and tweak it further to match what you hear.
