Zar

I need to talk to someone
to communicate
with words
with my drum

The red genie is always around
he has 12 very powerful sons
and one nice daughter
I am going to try them

I hold my drum
with my fingers
Knock
Knock
Where is Kofe The HAbbashia?
Where is Ahmed al-Bashir Al-Hadandawe?
Where is Al Khawaga?

The drumming is getting high and high
in the circle three genies appear
they built a triangle in front of me

I called on them one by one
using their names
come
come
healers of someones
now listen to me

the jungle is hot
in the desert there is a plot
tell your father
and your brothers and sister
The river is our river
