Afro National Band-- Gbaunkelay (lyrics translated)
Afro National, Patricia on lead vocal
1) This is the beginning of the end of love (x2)
My great love has indeed left me
I didn't know we were in a "cow-dung" love affair
My sister/brother, I'm lost
(Repeat the whole verse)
2) Young man, I understand now
O my sister/brother, I believed I found salvation;
O what a night for a man to turn!
Chorus: I'm lost
3) That's why the Mende of old said (x2):
"Drop the bone while there's still sweetness on it"
I haven't yet had my fill of this love
My great love has left me
Chorus: My sister/brother, I'm lost
Eeeeeeee...... Shut up!
4) Restless, I stand here, I stand there (x2)
Restless, I can't stand still
My sister/brother, I'm lost
5) (Reprise of Verse 3)
Chorus: My sister/brother, I'm lost...
