One Salone

On it. Here’s a draft. Mende, simple and heartfelt. ‘Ngai ma Salone lo, mo vaa ngaa e. Ngai ma kpei lei ngai ma lolo.’ Meaning, this is our Sierra Leone. Let us come together. One heart, one love. Together we are stronger. Chorus in Krio, ‘One Salone, one people. Make we hold one hand. Love go win, peace go reign.’ Verse two, Temne draft. ‘An be Salone, an be both. Kolong ka both, kolong ka foth.’ Meaning, Sierra Leone belongs to all of us. Let us walk together. Peace is our path. Love is our strength. Bridge in Krio, ‘Politics nor for divide we. Religion nor for separate we. One nation, one heart, one Salone.’ Final chorus, bring in, ‘Mende, Temne, Limba, Loko, Fula, Susu too. Every tribe, every family, na Salone we de.’ Before recording, please have a native speaker fine-tune the Mende a
