Angélique Kidjo - Remain in Light

The Overload

A terrible signal
Too weak to even recognize
A gentle collapsing
The removal of the insides

I'm touched by your pleas
I value these moments
We're older than we realize
In someone's eyes

Ema gba gbe baba wa
Ka ranti ile
Ema gba gbe baba wa
Ka ranti ile

A frequent returning
And leaving unnoticed
A condition of mercy
A change in the weather

A view to remember
The center is missing
They question how the future lies
In someone's eyes

Ema gba gbe baba wa
Ka ranti ile
Ema gba gbe baba wa
Ka ranti ile

The gentle collapsing
Of every surface
We travel on the quiet road
The overload

Ema gba gbe baba wa
Ka ranti ile
Ema gba gbe baba wa
Ka ranti ile

Ema gba gbe baba wa
Ka ranti ile
Ema gba gbe baba wa
Ka ranti ile

Ema gba gbe baba wa
Ka ranti ile
