Souma yergon, sou nou yergon, we are shaking the tree

Souma yergon, sou nou yergon, we are shaking the tree

Waiting your time, dreaming of a better life
Waiting your time, you're more than just a wife
Don't have to do what your mother has done, she has done
This is your life, this new life has begun
It's your day, woman's day
It's your day, woman's day

Turning the tide, you are on the incoming wave
Turning the tide, no you are nobody's slave
Find the sisters and brothers who can hear all the truth in what you say
They can support you when you're on your way
It's your day, woman's day
It's your day, woman's day

Souma yergon, sou nou yergon, we are shaking the tree
Souma yergon, sou nou yergon, we are shaking the tree

Changing your ways, changing those surrounding you
Changing your ways, more than any man can do
Open your heart, show him the anger and pain so you heal
Maybe he's looking for his womanly side, let him feel

You have to be so strong
And you do nothing wrong, nothing wrong at all
We're gonna to break it down
We have to shake it down, shake it all around

1. Peter Gabriel?

Isn't that his song?

4. Ayup... he and Youssou N'Dour sing that one.

One o' my favorites. :)

2. I love that song.....

In fact, I love most EVERYTHING Peter does.

The coolest person ever to have his voice and music recorded on a petrochemical disk. (sorry if that sounds funny, but the word 'album' is almost as out of date as '8-track').

In fact, I believe the world would be a better place if more women were in charge....

Edited for poopy spelling.

5. Me too! I don't have Ovo or Up, yet, though...

I've just been more interested in checking out new stuff.

3. Love the song but...

What does "Souma yergon, sou nou yergon" mean?

[redqueen]

6. That I don't know.

I'd love to be able to tell you... but alas, as of now I cannot.
