Simon Papa Tara [English translation]

You came this morning

At a time when the night fades

You came from far away

From where death is no longer feared

You came to speak to me

A bit about our life

Same jacket and same hat

Noah, the Iron African

Yes, I know that you live in me

Simon Papa Tara

Yes, I know that you are in me

Noah Bikie Noah

You know, grandfather, here they don't believe in these things

You came this morning

You are death without sorrow

The forefather of the Noahs

A thunderbolt in Etudi

Like a June night

You came this morning

Noah, the Iron African

Yes, I know that you live in me

Simon Papa Tara

Yes, I know that you are in me

Noah Bikie Noah

You know, grandfather, here they don't believe in these things

You came this morning

To show me the way

You came from far away

To talk to me about my people

And to tell me that love

Is giving every day

You came from far away

Noah, the Iron African
