Simply beautiful. Here is an English translation I found: The Gambia Built in peace and stability, hosted by development and progress, Humanity and happiness is on all faces, our outstanding country Gambia. Wherever you are , never forget your homeland Gambia For if you forget your roots, you turn your back on who you are. (Refrain): We are proud… We are proud of our country (Refrain): We are proud… Let us come together and unite (Refrain): We are proud… This is what will result in progress People of the Gambia; this is the beautiful land People of the Gambia; this is the peaceful land People of the Gambia; this is the land of our people People of the Gambia; there is nothing that compares to this land People honour this country because it is blessed We should not abandon our beautiful country Sons/daughters of this land, let us come to together I will truly always be proud to be a Gambian Wherever I travel, I shall tell of the wonders of this country There is nowhere that compares to Gambia Outro: The home of Peace… everyone say “Gambia” The home of Blessings… everyone say “Gambia” The home of Humility… everyone say “Gambia” The home of Family… everyone say “Gambia”

This is truly soul music. As both an African and an American living in US, this is proof that if you put out authentic music and art from your spirit that the world will consume it and value it

Sending love from Ghana! 🇬🇭 I can't believe I'm only discovering this song now! It's absolutely amazing. From the catchy groove to the rhythm, this song has a peaceful and calming effect that makes it unforgettable. We would love to hear more of this authentic style.

I also had no Knowledge of Sona Jobarteh or the Kora until I to saw her story on '60 minutes'. And Am I so grateful that I caught that show. Everyday I play Sona Jobarteh . You Mrs Sona Jobarteh have just replaced Sade. You are on top by yourself. Thats right you are the number (1) one among everyone that hear or heard your voice. And I will do all that I can to see that as many people as possible hear your music. After seeing you on '60 minutes', a week later our radio station (KPFK.90.7) Los Angeles were blowing your music up. And that is a good thing Mrs Sona Jobarteh, we LOVE YOU HERE, YOU GOT MY VOTE. YOUR MUSIC MAKES ME WANT TO COME HOME, TO AFRICA, CUSH, ( AN AREA MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE, SOMETIME IDENTIFIED WITH UPPER EGYPT. ) Before referred to as the( LAND OF THE BLACK'S,) AND TO MANY OF US HERE IN AMERICA THAT IS A GREAT THING, BECAUSE IT IDENTIFY'S US WITH OUR CULTURE LIKE ART AND THE SOUNDS IN THE MUSIC YOU SING. I AM LIKE MANY OF US THAT DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE WORDS, HOWEVER THE MUSIC REACHES OUR SPIRIT, AND THE SPIRIT UNDERSTANDS WHAT THE MIND CAN NOT UNDERSTAND AT THE TIME. I JUST MISS YOUR CONCERT AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL, AND I AM ASKING YOU TO PLEASE COME AGAIN, AND I WILL BE WILLING TO GUARANTEE YOU THAT YOUR CONCERT'S WILL BE SOLD OUT EVERY ONE OF THEM. BECAUSE YOU NOT ONLY HAVE THE MUSIC THAT OUR BLACK PEOPLE HERE IN AMERICA NEED TO HERE, ALL BLACK PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD NEED TO HEAR YOU SING. ALL THE PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD NEED TO HEAR YOU. BUT DO NOT LET ANYONE AND I MEAN ANYONE EXPLOIT, OR USES YOU IN ANYWAY, PLEASE, YOU ARE TO GREAT OF A PERSON FOR THAT AND I CAN TELL THAT YOU LIKE MANY OF US ARE AND TRYING TO DO GREAT THINGS FOR OUR PEOPLE AT HOME. PLEASE DO NOT LET ANYONE TAKE THAT AWAY FROM YOU OR FROM US. I WILL INCLUDE YOU, YOUR FAMILY AND FAMILIES IN MY PRAYERS TO THE MOST HIGH CREATOR, HE WILL KEEP YOU WITH PROTECTION AT ALL TIMES. YOU SEE YOU BRING A MESSAGE OF LOVE FROM THE MOST HIGH CREATOR AND FOR MANY OF US WHO CAN NOT UNDERSTAND THE LANGUAGE OUR SPIRIT UNDERSTANDS THE SPIRITUAL MESSAGE, AS IT IS SPOKEN DIRECTLY FROM THE MOST HIGH CREATOR. IT IS A MESSAGE OF LOVE, PEACE AND TRANQUILITY. PRAYER AND MEDITATION IS THE ORDER OF EVERYDAY FROM HEREAFTER.

Greetings from Brazil. Since i listened this song for the first time i never stopped listening anymore. It brings a good energy wherever I listen to it. Thanks a lot!

Had the pleasure of hearing you sing last night, at the Jazz Alley in Seattle. Thank you for bringing your voice and a piece of the motherland to the room. One Love, a Cameroonian fan

I am Algerian and love all what you do. Kisses from Montreal.

I’m from Sarajevo in Bosnia, I think Sona is The Queen of Africa. She is in my eyes and ears. I don’t know what is more beautiful about her, her masterful playing or that almost childish voice or her appearance..I’m not even sure Sona Jobarte even exists or if she is some kind of a fairy or a melek (angel). Here’s my ❤ to you Sona Malika 🇬🇲

I'm originally from Tunisia, love ❤️ the song, the voice, love 🇬🇲 Thank you Sona for this song

I am from Pakistan; when I was little, my parents moved us to Africa, and I was raised there. We had some wonderful times and made beautiful memories. My siblings and I learned the language, and remember it to this day. Now, we've left Africa, but to me, Africa is my childhood, Africans are my people, and African music often takes me back to that lovely place in my mind; a place of perfection. That's why I was drawn to this stellar song; it took me there again. Thank You for uploading it.

RU-vid hides many things. This African music deserve more than these views. When a woman has a passion on something she always convince me. When i listen to such real musics i feel like i am going to cry. Love from Rwanda ❤. I am singing it without understanding what i am singing. I wish i can understand

Someday I hope peace will prevail in all of Africa thanks to lovely people like Sona Jobarteh and Fatoumata Diawara and other artists spreading peace and celebrating their beautiful culture. I am an English teacher in the USA and I hope to visit different parts of Africa someday.

I'm latina from Colombia!! I absolutely love African culture!! This song gives me the goosebumps and eyes full of tears!!! Such a wonderful voice and presence this woman has!!! Loving the instruments, the drums and the strings, the vocals... perfection!!

I'm from Brazil. My name is Ricardo Moreno. I am a musician, researcher and teacher. I love the diversity and beauty of African music. Sona Joubarteh is wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

Hello à tous, j'espère maintenant que vous comprendrez d'où vient la capacité de résilience des peuples d'Afrique : en grande partie grâce à la musique et aux chants. Je suis de la côte d'ivoire 🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮 (pays de Didier Drogba) merci sona 🙏.

As an Englishman, I’ve no idea what the lyrics mean. It’s just a beautiful sound to behold.
