oh the days of rain
gave birth to Anou
while his heart beat strong
and his eyes shone blue

beneath the heavans
he learned of truth
let the earth be your walls
and the stars be your roof

but his love fell on a girl
with hair dark as night sky
my life he said to her belongs to you
then he rode on the wind and returned the next day
as he neared the villiage where the smoke it billowed grey

on his knees he cried you've taken from me
my will to go on is no more
lay my love to the ground
for no other can be found
that can fill my heart such as her
Kayia Kayia
i'll push on till the day
when i lay next to you once again
Kayia Kayia
when i find the enemy
let my arrows take them to the same end

so he rode for the shores
as the tears filled his eyes
and the clouds opened up
and the rain filled the skies
oh the men of the horizon
they promised for peace
but oh they spoke of lies
lies and deceat

as he came to the fortress
oh his arrows did fly
fierce justice was rewarded
but his fury did not subside
though his wounds were of many
they would not weigh him down
for no wound prooved greater
than his love that he layed to the ground

on his knees he cried you've taken from me
my will to go on is no more
lay my love to the ground
for no other can be found
that can fill my heart such as her
Kayia Kayia
i'll push on till the day
when i lay next to you once again
Kayia Kayia
when i find the enemy
let my arrows take them to the same end

so he waded through the waters
and let the tide take him away
he prayed to be united with his love kaye
when the winds began to whisper
and the waves they did crash
all that was left behind
were theses echos of the past

for what was once then
is now no more
memories of freedom
now buried low

on his knees he cried you've taken from me
my will to go on is no more
lay my love to the ground
for no other can be found
that can fill my heart such as her
Kayia Kayia
i'll push on till the day
when i lay next to you once again
Kayia Kayia
when i find the enemy
let my arrows take them to the same end

Kayia Kayia
i'll push on till the day
when i lay next to you once again
kaye kaye
when i find the enemy
let my arrows take them to the same end

oh Kayia
