Lyrics
Two oceans crash where the continent ends
The Atlantic argues with the Indian
The uhadi bow vibrates between
Two bodies of water that have never been friends
Cape of Good Hope the journey finds its edge
Cape of Good Hope the journey finds its edge
Finds its edge
Finds its edge
A whale breaks surface for a breath
The lighthouse cuts the fog in two
I stand where Vasco da Gama stood
And see the same unfinished blue
The bow is one string and a gourd the simplest instrument on earth
But at the edge of a continent it sounds like everything the land wanted to say to the sea
Cape of Good Hope the journey finds its edge
Cape of Good Hope the journey finds its edge
Finds its edge
Finds its edge
I turn and face the continent
That gave me rhythm gave me song
From Marrakech to this salt cliff
The music carried me along
The uhadi holds one final note
That trembles like a held-back tear
This continent has changed my blood
And I am not the one who came here
