Congo Lyrics


Congo, get to, get to Congo
Get to, get to Congo
Get to, get to Congo
Get to, get to CongoNow could we go to the square they call Congo?
I need to go and lay my feet upon the stone
Where the first of us stood before, before, beforeWhere we sat and played to revive our depleted souls
Where we went to forget our freedom was not our own
Where we went to hold onto the memories of way back homeNow could we?
Now could we?
Now could we go?Get to Cong, get to Cong Congo
Get to Cong, get to Congo
Get to Cong, get to Cong Congo
Get to Cong, get to CongoNow could we go to the square they call Congo?
I need to go and lay my feet upon the stones
Where the first of us stood before, before, beforeWhere we made music in remembrance of human bodies sold
Where the sound of an old pain became a new music of hope
Where they paved me a road so I could get to CongoNow could we?
Now could we?

Now could we go?Get to Cong, get to Cong Congo
Get to Cong, get to Congo
Get to Cong, get to Cong Congo
Get to Cong, get to CongoGet to Cong, get to Cong Congo
Get to Cong, get to Congo
Get to Cong, get to Cong Congo
Get to Cong, get to CongoAnd I would not be here today if they had not been
So displaced, so displaced, but still
But still they made time to sing and play a song
A song in CongoGet to Cong, get to Cong Congo
Get to Cong, get to Congo
Get to Cong, get to Cong Congo
Get to Cong, get to CongoGet to Cong, get to Cong Congo
Get to Cong, get to Congo
Get to Cong, get to Cong Congo
Get to Cong, get to CongoGet to Cong, get to Cong Congo
Get to Cong, get to Congo
Get to Cong, get to Cong Congo
Get to Cong, get to Congo

Miriam Makeba, also known as Mama Africa, was beyond dispute one of South Africa's true legends. Born March 4, 1932 in Johannesburg, Miriam Makeba was barely 21 years old when she, as a member of the Manhattan Brothers, reached for the stars in her home country. It didn't take long before Miriam Makeba's career was brought to another level. In 1966 she received a Grammy Award for the album An Evening with Harry Belafonte & Miriam Makeba, making her the first African artist to win a Grammy.
