Lyrics
If I could talk to you
Just a few words
(O makunda, o makunde)
If I could reach your heart
With those simple words
(O makunda, o makunde)
Maybe we could learn to trust
(Sekouda ni yet matsune unde)
See the best in us
(Sekouda ni yet matsune)
If I could sing to you
And make it through
O makunda, o makunde
If I could see your soul
When you smile and say
O makunda, o makunde
Maybe we could learn to share
Sekouda ni yet matsune unde
As we dreamt one day
Sekouda ni yet matsune
T'Hamanie yet matsuna
Sekouda ni yet matsune unde
T'Hamanie yet ma
Sekouda ni yet matsune
Maybe we could learn love
Sekouda ni yet matsune unde
As we dreamt one day
Sekouda ni yet matsune
T'Hamanie yet matsuna
Sekouda ni yet matsune unde
T'Hamanie yet ma
Sekouda ni yet matsune
Spread the word and say
Kouda ni o makunde
(Merci à Anthony pour cettes paroles)
