The Sound of the Drums

TheSound Of The Drums

(Kidjo/Hébrail)

I've been away for so long that I wonder

If the sound of the drums

Still has its power

I've been away for so long that I wonder

If the sound of the drums

Still has its power. Min bisse kplé bo doté bohissi do houngan lè

Etchi nou min do nounkonton tché dié
