Elise Morris

NENNA (with Translation)

Nenna is a love song to our mothers, to the gift of womanhood.  Sory sings and asks his mother to teach him, tell him things of the world. I reminisce about the beautiful days when my mom sang and played piano, and Michele sings about what a gift it is to be a woman.   (Sung mostly in Bambara, with an English verse as well.)

Konotane is the second single from the album, LoveIsALove. While the words sung in Pulaar by Alou Sam are beautiful to listen to, the translation is haunting in its simplicity.

I SAY THE WORLD IS SORRY AND SO IT IS, 

GOD MADE THE SKY AND THE EARTH AS WELL AS THE SUN 

THIS IS THE WAY IT IS, I SWEAR IT IS SO 

I SAY IT'S SO AND IT'S SO, IT IS SO 

THIS IS THE WAY IT IS, SO IT IS 

THE WAY OF THE WORLD, SUCH A PITY, THIS IS HOW IT IS
