Lyrics in english:
I prefer death
or embers stuck to my heart
or that my soul will be torn apart
that it will be said in my community
that I committed adultery.
My best friend among women,
She went in the bush one night to meet a man
One day she started to scream at night
She wears her gold and she detaches her jewelry
She is sick with shame.
But I also saw the metamorphosis of the desert,
I saw a beautiful woman married to a broken man.
Her hand is in his hand and she walks through the community
She has a yellow skin that protects her from the wind
The whiteness of her teeth are bright.
I prefer death
or embers stuck to my heart
or that my soul will be torn apart.

Here's the English translation of the song (found it in one of their videos):
I prefer death
or embers stuck to my heart
or that my soul will be torn apart
that it will be said in my community that I committed adultery.
My best friend among women,
She went in the bush one night to meet a man
One day she started to scream at night
She wears her gold and she detaches her jewelry
She is sick with shame.
But I also saw the metamorphosis of the desert,
I saw a beautiful woman married to a broken man.
Her hand is in his hand and she walks through the community
She has a yellow skin that protects her from the wind
The whiteness of her teeth are bright.
I prefer death
or embers stuck to my heart
or that my soul will be torn apart.

this music has been so healing to me for several years now. i used to take my old dog out on long walks along the bayou or out in the sugarcane fields and i’d be listening to these songs and feel such a connection to it. always warming this little country heart! much love from Houma, Louisiana.

i'm eritrean and feel the same... there's something about old, traditional forms of singing that just draws me in... despite me not knowing their tongue, it makes me feel so proud to be african
