NABULUNGI
My Mother once told me
Of a place
With waterfalls and unicorns flying.
Where there was no suffering,
no pain.
Where there was laughter instead
of dying.
I always thought she’d made it up.
To comfort me in times of pain.
But now I know that place is real,
Now I know it’s name.
Sal Tlay Ka Siti,
Not just a story Mama told.
But a village in Ooh-tah,
Where the roofs are thatched
with gold.
If I could let myself believe,
I know just where I’d be–
Right on the next bus to paradise.
Sal Tlay Ka Siti.
I can imagine what it must be like,
This perfect happy place.
I bet the goat meat there is plentiful
And they have vitamin injections
by the case.
The warlords there are friendly.
They help you cross the street.
And there’s a Red Cross on
every corner
With all the flour you can eat!
Sal Tlay Ka Siti,
The most perfect place on earth.
Where flies don’t bite your eyeballs
And human life has worth.
It isn’t a place of fairy tales.
It’s as real as it can be.
A land where evil doesn’t exist.
Sal Tlay Ka Siti.
And I’ll bet the people are open
minded,
And don’t care who you’ve been –
And all I hope is that when I find it
I’m able to fit in.
Will I fit in?
Sal Tlay Ka Siti,
A land of hope and joy.
And if I want to get there,
I just have to follow that white boy.
You were right, Mama,
You didn’t lie.
This place is real, and I’m gonna fly.
I’m on my way.
Soon life won’t be so shitty.
Now salvation has a name
Sal Tlay Ka…Siti.
