From Exile when I return I’m going to beg someone to touch - TopicsExpress



          

From Exile when I return I’m going to beg someone to touch me Very, very tenderly And gradually put me at ease I wish to feel again how life feels I’ve not been home for many, many years For many years, I have been out of sight For many years I’ve not been touched And I’ve learned to be homesick here in exile Where life is not so bright I’ve not been touched so tenderly I’ve been searched by bullets Going through my camouflage And through my heart so fresh I wish to feel again how life feels From exile when I return I am going to beg someone To introduce the newly born babies Help me identify those grown-ups And lead me to the cemetery When friends and playmates have long gone From exile when I return I’m going to beg someone to understand my silence The letter that didn’t arrive About our clan and tribe For now I only belong To my country and nation Still I wish to be touched tenderly By hand and atmosphere Of people in a peaceful sphere `Mvula yaNangolo
