What More Could Be Right
Letta Mbulu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the evening when the night falls
Ending the day
Little hands creep into mine
We kneel down to pray

Will I have?
Shall I be?
I hear them pray

Hush my child
Come to me
And hear my saying

Don't you know he held the Sun
Each morning
And then the moon at night
There is the air to breathe by
Now what more could be right?

Trees give shade to cool you
And pretty birds so sweet
The sea and sky coloured so blue
Again I ask now what more could be right?

I have you, you have me
We have love don't you see?
Just be sweet and be true
And the whole world will always love you

Now go to sleep my loved ones
And kiss then out the light
Remember all that I've told you
Again I ask now what more could be right?
Again I ask now what more could be right?

Jing, jing, jing, jing
Jing, jing, jing, jing, jing, jing jing
Jing, jing, jing, jing, jing, jing jing, jing, jing jing
Jing, jing, jing, jing
Jing, jing, jing, jing, jing, jing

I have you, you have me
We have love don't you see?
Just be sweet and be true
Then the whole world will always love you

Now go to sleep my loved ones
And kiss then out the light
Remember all that I've told you
Again I ask now what more could be right?

Oh jing, jing, jing, jing
Jing, jing, jing, jing, jing, jing jing
Jing, jing, jing, jing, jing, jing jing, jing, jing jing
Jing, jing, jing, jing
Jing, jing, jing, jing, jing, jing




Jing, jing, jing, jing
Jing, jing, jing, jing, jing, jing jing

Line by Line Meaning

In the evening when the night falls
As the day ends and darkness creeps in


Little hands creep into mine
Children come to hold my hand


We kneel down to pray
We take a moment to talk to God


Will I have?
I wonder if I will possess what I desire


Shall I be?
I am uncertain if I will become who I want to be


I hear them pray
I listen to their words to God


Hush my child
Be quiet, my dear


Come to me
Come close to me


And hear my saying
Listen to me carefully


Don't you know he held the Sun
Do you not realize God created the universe


Each morning
Every day


And then the moon at night
And the moon during the night


There is the air to breathe by
There's air to fill our lungs


Now what more could be right?
What else could be better?


Trees give shade to cool you
Trees offer cool places to rest


And pretty birds so sweet
Birds sing beautiful melodies


The sea and sky coloured so blue
The sky and sea display beautiful shades of blue


Again I ask now what more could be right?
Once again, what else could be better?


I have you, you have me
We have each other


We have love don't you see?
We share love, is it not clear?


Just be sweet and be true
Be kind and stay honest


And the whole world will always love you
The world will love you unconditionally


Now go to sleep my loved ones
It's time for you to sleep, my dears


And kiss then out the light
Give me a kiss goodnight before you drift off to sleep


Remember all that I've told you
Recall all the things I've said to you


Oh jing, jing, jing, jing
A repetition of sounds indicating joyfulness or celebration
