Karanga Drums
Karanga Drums: A Love Journey Through Zimbabwean Echoes
Lyrics
Over the hills of Zimbabwe the drums ring wild and free
Describing the hills of Zimbabwe where the drums resound with untamed and unrestrained sound.
Like the beating heart of that mighty land in dreams they come to me
Comparing the drumming to the pulsating heart of Zimbabwe, invoking dream-like imagery.
Oh, how I long to hear the wild karanga drums
Expressing a strong desire to hear the energetic and untamed karanga drums.
Over the treetops where the crystal river runs
Imagining the drums echoing over treetops, following the path of a crystal river.
Sweet was the first love like the first rain of the season
Drawing a simile between the sweetness of first love and the refreshing first rain of the season.
I met her in a forest
Recalling a meeting with someone special in a forest.
By the river
Elaborating on the setting of the encounter, near a river.
Karanga drums, karanga drums lead me to those loving arms
Yearning for the karanga drums to guide the speaker to the embrace of a loved one.
Take me with you on your fleeting way
Asking the drums to accompany the speaker on their transient journey.
Karanga drums, karanga drums long before the morning comes
Anticipating the drums before dawn, emphasizing their significance.
Karanga drums please carry me away
Requesting the karanga drums to transport the speaker away.
Oh, how I long to hear the wild karanga drums
Reiterating the longing to hear the wild and free-spirited karanga drums.
Over the hills that hide a million setting suns
Imagining the drums over hills hiding countless sunsets.
Sad is the parting like a day of days it's dying
Comparing parting to a day's end, emphasizing the sadness in farewells.
We parted on a hilltop
Recalling a parting scene on a hilltop.
In the sunset
Describing the setting sun during the parting moment.
Karanga drums, karanga drums lead me to those loving arms
Seeking guidance from karanga drums to lead back to a loved one.
Take me with you on your fleeting way
Asking the drums to accompany the speaker on a transient journey.
Karanga drums, karanga drums long before the morning comes
Anticipating the drums' sound before morning and its significance.
Karanga drums please carry me away
Requesting the karanga drums to carry the speaker away.
Oh, how I long to hear the wild karanga drums
Expressing a strong desire to hear the energetic and untamed karanga drums.
Over the valley where the golden daybreak comes
Imagining the drums over a valley where daybreak brings golden light.
Sweet is the greeting like the first bird of the morning
Comparing a sweet greeting to the first bird's song in the morning.
I'll find her in the valley in the sunrise
Anticipating finding a loved one in the valley at sunrise.
Karanga drums, karanga drums lead me to those loving arms
Seeking guidance from karanga drums to lead back to a loved one.
Take me with you on your fleeting way
Asking the drums to accompany the speaker on a transient journey.
Karanga drums, karanga drums long before the morning comes
Anticipating the drums' sound before morning and its significance.
Karanga drums please carry me away
