Wiyaala - Siiko (Come! Let's Go) lyrics

We used to go out Under the moonlight to play And we would sit round An old man or woman Who would tell us Stories of the old days We played ampe (hopscotch) And we played poapoanaa nulaa (hide and seek) The older married women played jan-na The husbands and kids watched We've forgotten all that now Those old ways of having fun You are lost if you don't know Where you have come from You are lost if you don't Know who your people are So I say, and I say it loud Come, lets go back Try the things we left behind And add them to what we have now
