Don't Cry For Burkina Faso (feat. Adroa Aziza & Fae) [Mali Mix]

Oh, Burkina Faso, why do you weep
Our village bleeds, our hearts are deep
The sun that rose on joy's embrace
Now sets on sorrow's dark disgrace

Butterfly wings of rust and azule
Dancing free, as we once knew
Children's laughter filled the air
Now silence reigns in dark despair

Oh, Burkina Faso, why do you weep
Our village bleeds, our hearts are deep
The sun that rose on joy's embrace
Now sets on sorrow's dark disgrace

Drums and koras sang as one
Their music crushed by foreign guns
Eudora's eyes saw life unfold
Now witness horrors yet untold

Oh, Burkina Faso, why do you weep
Our village bleeds, our hearts are deep
The sun that rose on joy's embrace
Now sets on sorrow's dark disgrace

Strangers came with fire and lead
Our people scattered, many dead
The baobab stands, a silent guide
(As dreams of freedom are denied)

Oh, Burkina Faso, we will rise
From ashes, hope will touch the skies
Though darkness fell on this cruel day
Our spirit's light will find its way
