Song Lyrics

I won t forget the day the sun came shining in, colors as in a flower garden
Just like the dawn, corn row hair in a million braids, she locks the door that leads into her hut
Just like the dawn, eyes lit up like the northern star, eyes lit up like the northern star
I say wolo mama, when i tell her i m going wherever, gracing her lappa shimmering in purples and yellows
She turning me on with fever, she ll be going when she leaves the market

All the tom toms and the tumbas they were wailing, i see her floating lazily, really turning her on
she turning me on with fever
All the tom toms and the tumbas they were wailing, when i tell her i m going wherever
the talking drums and the xylophones
when i tell her i m going wherever

Just like the dawn, i won t forget the day the sun came shining in
we had a night time of ecstasy
She had to rise to the market place, i won t forget the day the sun came shining in
as she passes me by
Bringing in the rays for that sunshine in congo, i won t forget the day the sun came shining in, to her vegetable stall at the market place

A flaming torch she lit up the marketplace so brightly, i won t forget the day the sun came shining in, she turning me on with fever
a flaming torch she lit up the marketplace so brightly
Colors as in a flower garden, right away i go to carry her bag of vegetables
I say wolo mama, eyes lit up like the northern star
and we woke up to the roar of the lion

Really turning her on, through the market like a butterfly, we had a night time of ecstasy
she locks the door that leads into her hut
I won t forget the day the sun came shining in, i see her floating lazily, gracing her lappa shimmering in purples and yellows
To her vegetable stall at the market place, we walk towards the road that goes down to the village
I say wolo mama, i see her floating lazily

really turning her on
