Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nabojho Nabojho, Sankt Anna-a-a-a
Nabojho Nabojho, Sankt Anna-a-a-a
Na saleli johnva swhi hieelo coothe
Na saleli johnva swhi lihi fotathe
Ohlele ohle, ohle ohle
With the world above my shoulders
I wont listnen anymore
I am standing by the river
looking at the other shore,
and I now that all your promises aren't true,
so tell me why in the world
I should be following you
Sankt Anna Najna
Ohjo'n gajna
Bohjna bohra Gahjohoe-e
Nabojho Nabojho, Sankt Anna-a-a-a
Nabojho Nabojho, Sankt Anna-a-a-a
Na saleli johnva swhi hieelo coothe
Na saleli johnva swhi lihi fotathe
Ohlele ohle, ohle ohle
Ohlele ohle, ohle ohle
All the trouble minus people
that we're trusting in you
They soon find out the Glory
all the scrum made them blue
The promise of heaven
is something inturnle
so tell me why in the world
I should be following you
Sankt Anna Najna
Ohjo'n gajna
Bohjna bohra Gahjohoe-e
Nabojho Nabojho, Sankt Anna-a-a-a
Nabojho Nabojho, Sankt Anna-a-a-a
Na saleli johnva swhi hieelo coothe
Na saleli johnva swhi lihi fotathe
Bahnba sin nanga
Lahna tinanga
Gongo tihna nihnin
Ghaina pihlayo
Tihna nihnin gai
Nha sahle la yoh

Text Interpretation - Oscar Stolpe Bello

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Zifa's song "Dusted" are complex and open to interpretation, with a mix of English and possibly Hindi phrases. The first part of the song includes the repetition of "Nabojho Nabojho, Sankt Anna-a-a-a," which could be references to specific places or people, but it's unclear. The next lines describe someone standing by a river, questioning why they should continue to follow someone who has made false promises. The chorus repeats again, and then the lyrics shift to discussing trust and promises of heaven, which are ultimately fleeting.


The final lines include more Hindi phrases and seem to continue exploring this idea of transience and questioning why one should follow anyone else. The repeated "Ohlele ohle, ohle ohle" seems to be a sort of chant or mantra, perhaps meant to reinforce the idea of questioning authority and seeking out one's own path. Overall, the lyrics of "Dusted" convey a sense of disillusionment and skepticism towards those in positions of power, urging the listener to think for themselves and question everything.
