INTRO TO ANBA DLO, LAN GINEN
"Folks say knowledge is the light,
light, light..."
Mwen sitèlman lwen dlo benit zansèt
yo - Anba Dlo, Lan Ginen. Men anmenm tan m sitèlman makonnen ak
li lè mwen anbrase nanchon mwen, teritwa m ki chita ant pwent chive
k nan tèt mwen ak zòtèy mwen. Sèl sa mwen
bezwen se kokolo brenn mwen, lestomak mwen, vant mwen, epi souf mwen.
Fò m di nou gen de jou m ap chèche m, m pase men, m pa jwenn
mwen, paske ban lekòl loksidan bwote m sitèlman lwen zantray
mwen. Zanmi m yo, fanmi m yo, pou di nou konprann sa k rive m? Pou di
nou byen konprann jan yo te lave tèt mwen pou fè mwen aksepte
ke tout konesans, tout limyè se nan manti sivilizasyon Jideyo-Kritchen
l chita...
***********************
i'm so far away from the purifying ancestral
waters - Anba Dlo, Lan Ginen. But so skin to skin near when i
accept my nation, my empire, are between my head and my toes. Just these
- my brain, breast, belly, breath are enough.
But sometimes i can't touch me because i have this, this ...Western bought
education. i'm so, so far away from that lineage where i come from. You
see...Folks i, folks i, folks i....
