Ghosts
Ibeyi Lyrics
Welcome to my earth
It's a crying shame
We have built a foolish world
Busy fighting, full of lying and denying
My ghosts are not gone
They dance in the shade
And gives the black core of my heart
Making words making sounds making songs
Now you can feel my heart spinning
I want to write a new beginning
Let go of the ghosts
Let dreams and hopes lay
And give our love another try
Should we just let it be
Make love to me
My ghosts are not gone
They give the black core of my heart
Making words making sounds making songs
Now you can feel my heart spinning
You turn my whole life around
I want to write a new beginning
Let go of the ghosts
Let dreams and hopes lay
And give our love another try
Should we just let it be
We ain't nothing without love
Without love we ain't nothing
Without love without love
Mai mai mai soronso ae
Aggayu soronso
Mai mai mai soronso ae
Aggayu soronso
Mai mai mai soronso ae
Aggayu soronso
Mai mai mai soronso ae
Mai mai mai soronso ae
Mai mai mai soronso ae

[Verse 1]
Welcome to my earth
It's a crying shame
We have built a foolish world
Busy fighting, cruelly lying and denying
[Verse 2]
My ghosts are not gone
They dance in the shade
And kiss the black core of my heart
Making words, making sounds, making songs
[Chorus]
Now you can feel my heart spinning
You turn my whole life around
I want to write a new beginning
Let go of the ghosts
Let dreams and hopes fly
And give our love another try
Should we just let it be?
[Verse 3]
Make love to me
My ghosts are not gone
They kiss the black core of my heart
Making words making sounds making songs
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
We ain't nothing without love, without love
We ain't nothing without love, without love
[Outro]

I'm an addept of Candomblé, the brasilian vision of the yoruba tradicional religion. So, I'm very proud Ibeyi is singing the orixá in their songs. It proves that our religion is not "a religion from ignorance", but a true religion with its roots on the past, but it's prepared to the future. Congratulations to the both girls. Axé.

+Demi Ladipo-Eki Demi, in Brazil, the different cults of the several orixa was condensed in a real religion. Several yorubá citizens surrended when recognosced elements of their own familiar cults in candomblé.

+Maurício Barros How close is Candomble to the real thing?
