Ibeyi Lyrics

Come to your river
I will come to your river
I will come to your river
Come to your river
(Wash my soul)
I will come to your river
(Wash my soul)
I will come to your river
Wash my soul again

Carry away my dead leaves
Let me baptize my soul with the help of your waters
Sink my pains and complains
Let the river take them, river drown them
My ego and my blame
Let me baptize my soul with the help of your waters
Those all means are so ashamed
Let the river take them, river drown them

Come to your river
I will come to your river
I will come to your river
Come to your river
(Wash my soul)
I will come to your river
(Wash my soul)
I will come to your river
Wash my soul again

Carry away my old leaves
Let me baptize my soul with the help of your waters
Sink my pains and complains
Let the river take them, river drown them
My ego and my blame
Let me baptize my soul with the help of your waters
Those all means so ashamed
Let the river take them, river drown them

Come to your river
I will come to your river
I will come to your river
Come to your river
(Wash my soul)
I will come to your river
(Wash my soul)
I will come to your river
Wash my soul again

This is so intense just watching her (or them) being underwater for what seems to be an eternity.
Updated:
The Cuban French twin sisters are 19-year-old Naomi and Lisa-Kainde Diaz. They are daughters of the late Cuban percussion Anga Diaz.

Naomi plays percussion (the Cajon and the Batas) while Lisa plays the piano. Together the twins have learned the songs of their father’s culture, Yoruba.

Ibeyi is pronounced “ee-bey-ee” and translates as “Twins” in Yoruba.

Ibeyi sings in English and Yoruba and has created a minimalist sound that merges elements of their heritage with the contemporary music they’ve grown to love as teenagers in Paris, citing artists such as James Blake and King Krule amongst their wide range of influences.

Ibeyi are the first French artists directly signed for World by one of Beggars Group label in 30 years! they are on the loose again and ready to take the US by storm! One of their bigger gigs includes Webster Hall in New York, where they’ll be playing on October 2nd! Come listen to their strange and beautiful tunes sung in English and Yoruba – an ancient Nigerian language their ancestors used to speak before arriving in Cuba – on Afro-Cuban rhythms mixed with fuse jazz beats.

gawgarin very late to the conversation but I disagree. Wars are fought because of irrational hatred and fear, but also due to greed to conquer and accumulate wealth,land, people. Religion and heritage are just Low hanging excuses they use to justify it.

Sarah Clarkson

@Daisy D Atheism is nothing more than a lack of belief in god(s). Most of the atheists I've spoken to don't believe in a supernatural deity simply because there isn't any empirical evidence to prove one exists. It's not what most people want to believe, but it's nevertheless a very rational point of view. Even as a theist, you probably don't believe in every god from every religion. We atheists just take it one god further.

Atheism has no ties to any political affiliations. Atheism is not linked to a lack of morality, either. Human morality developed as a way of protecting our species, and it has existed long before religions such as Christianity appropriated it for personal gains.

I'm part of a local atheist chapter and we regularly help our community by raising money for medical research, cleaning up highways, and feeding and clothing the homeless. We help others because we want to, not because we're trying to get into heaven. We are good people because we want to be good people, not because we fear the wrath of an angry and vengeful god.

@Ojberretta Berretta Black Americans want to be Moors, Jews, or Native Americans? First I've heard of that! Maybe a few here and there would rather be a member of one of those groups than black, and considering the kind of crap many African Americans have to live with, I can imagine that some people just want to be perceived as someone else. But this is by no means a trend. I'm willing to be that the majority of Americans don't even know what a Moor is!

Interesting concept... Once one got passed the submerging act (and their attractiveness), the song is actually quite good and the voices are incredibly hypnotic.

they probably can't hear the song well underwater so when it's time to sing the hand pushes them above water

Took 8g dried psylocibin and somewhere along my trip i listened to this masterpiece. My soul left the plains of reality while i was making love with my serpent ego and flowing along this tune like a leaf into the infinite, unable to stop my self cleansing its self from within. Wonderful song and i am thankful that i had such an amazing experience around it.

I think that this is a wonderful song by fantastically talented artists. I am very disappointed by many of the youtube comments these days, though (both here and elsewhere), with the insults and name calling that some just can't help themselves from uttering. Everyone's tastes, likes, and dislikes will always be diverse and different. Thanks Lisa and Naomi for sharing your music, and great luck with your careers.

Had to come back to this song because I was on the fence whether I liked it or not. Safe to say this is something new to me that I am now thoroughly enjoying. Peace and Love.
