Song for Sudan: The Janjaweed Stormed with the Dawn
song for sudan i asked her to tell me her story she started by looking away – gazing back into the darkness when she knelt to pray. the planes dropped the bombs before daybreak - the janjaweed stormed with the dawn. those who could fled to the forest to hide till they’d gone. returning to ruins by moonlight she found she was orphaned and then - there they began their exodus out of sudan. her husband, ali, gently warned her “if worse comes, don’t try to save me.” you must survive with the children, so hide quietly. the next day the janjaweed raiders caught up and took all of the men she watched herself widowed while guarding their sleeping children - then into the infinite star skies mother and children took flight through storming sands they crossed into chad from sudan (bridge) his love for her kept her running while her love for him kept her calm - smiling when she says his name. like a prayer for sudan. now as i write you her story - magboula rocks under the tree no food for the child she cradles – staring at me. what will it take to remember - what we said we’d never forget. never again, is now, once again in sudan. never again, is now, once again in sudan. – like a prayer for sudan [bamanankan background vocals] let’s pray to get out of the dark. some people made a plan and dropped a bomb. let’s take the children and run away. woman gets scared by a lot of bad things. woman, let’s hid your children. fighting, fighting, stop fighting, stop fighting. people get up from sleeping oh suda, sudan it will never happen again god will not make it happen again it will never happen again let’s pray for sudan never happen again stop fighting stop fighting fighting ruins everything. The song was written anonymously. The musicians - from Mali, on djembe and arrangements is Moussa Traore. Balla Tounkara is playing the kora and sings the background Bamanakan vocals. Dave Mattacks, who plays with Richard Thompson, is on drums. From Serbia is Mikael Merska on electric bass. Laura Cortese is an American fiddle player, and Adrian Aquirre, from Spain, plays percussion. source http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/sudansong/2004/07/23#a8[/I]

Quote: returning to ruins by moonlight
she found she was orphaned and then -
there they began
their exodus out of
sudan.

Quote: his love for her kept her running
while her love for him kept her calm

Quote: smiling when she says his name

Quote: then into the infinite star skies
mother and children took flight
through storming sands
they crossed into chad from
sudan
