about

I saw a photo in some publication of a beautiful little girl, Nasaali - one of Africa's AIDS orphans. Visited by a neighbour from over the hill every few days, she had to make a life for herself and her baby brother alone. This is to honour all of the brave ones like her.

lyrics

NASAALI (1994?)

(chant) NASAALI…

You are a child but you live as a woman,
I can see the sadness in your eyes,
cradle your baby, care for his needs,
but who will care for you?

Walking around the mound of fresh earth,
a white wooden cross for your father,
your mother followed 4 days later,
joining a lost generation.

Nasaali do you cry alone in the night?
Nasaali are you still afraid of the dark?
six years hold the pain of a lifetime,
Nasaali what will become of you?

I see a little girl in a white dress,
in a world that is far from my own,
all that you’ve known has crumbled before you,
now you face life on your own…
