Bakumbe Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, Bakumbe, whatcha know?
Up the mountain down below
I can feel the wind begin to blow
Open up that old window
Open up and let him go

[Verse 2]
Round and round the world we go
Oh, Bakumbe Djesse, come back home
Singin' now's the time to let him go
Open up that old window
Open up and let him go

[Refrain]
Let him go, na na
Let him go, na na, oh

[Verse 3]
Oh, Bakumbe, whatcha know?
Up the mountain down below
I can feel the wind begin to blow
Open up that old window (Open up that window)
Open up and let him go

[Verse 4]
Round and round the world we go (Round we go)
Oh, Bakumbe Djesse, come back home
(Wanna come sing)
Now's the time to let him go (Let him go)
Open up that old window
Open up and let him go

[Violin Solo]
Let him go, na na, oh
Let him go, na na, oh
Let him go, na na, oh
Let him go, na na, oh
Let him go, na na, oh
Let him go, na na, oh
Let him go, na na, oh
Let him go, na na, oh
Ooooh, Djesse let him go (Djesse let him go)
Don't know nothin' 'bout me
Don't know nothin' 'bout me

[Outro]

What does Bakumbe mean? is it a name? a made-up word?

The origin of the word Bakumbe is thought to be made-up. To many, it is seen to be connected to the word ‘hajanga’, another made-up word, titling a song by Collier. They seem to have connections to feelings of warmth, rejoicing and hope. This is however unconfirmed.

I tweeted MY HERO, Sam Amidon, about making some music together, and to my childhood hysteria he said “Yeeeeeeah!”. So he came over to my room and we tracked vox and banjo for this o...
