Traditional folk singer Fantacee Wiz releases video and lyrics of ‘Diyara’

Freetown | 24th August 2020 | Vertex Media

Her music speaks to the soul in a revealing trait of cultural orientation. In an industry dominated by other music genres like rap, afrobeat, RnB, etc, – Fantacee Wiz Kamara sticks to our sounds – sounds that bring us close to our origins, sounds that define the true us – Sierra Leoneans, Africans.

In as much as many might not find her music fashionable, she continues to seduce and induce in us the finery arts of folk music in Sierra Leone. For this, she will be remembered as one of Africa’s greatest folksingers.

The rights activist and women’s advocate uses her music and celeb status to campaign for the vulnerable women and children in society. She has to endure and fight back the increasing negativity, dangers and challenges faced by rights activists, she uses the most powerful tool, music, to stage her campaign.

Ladies and gentlemen, here is Fantacee’s latest video and lyrics of her ‘Diyara’ song – the song is in Madingo, while the lyrics are in English. Featured in the video is a former reality TV star Dwight Smith.

Diyara Lyrics in English

Diyara

Whether your Marriage
Turns out sweet or better
Always remember the first time you met
Whether your Relationship
Turns out sweet or better
Always remember the first time you met

(Badenya)

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Fanta is alone at home lonely

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Someone’s child is home alone

You said you love me
I said I love you too
I didn’t know it’ll turn out this way
I didn’t know you’ll abuse me
I didn’t know your love will turn into a disgrace
Oh my mother
Oh my father (oh my mother)
Your child is lonely
Feeling alone
Oh my mother
Oh my father (oh my mother)
Your child is lonely
Oh my mother
Oh my father (oh my mother)
Fanta is lonely
Oh my mother
Oh my father (oh my mother)
Your child is lonely
And alone

Whether your Marriage
Turns out sweet or better
Always remember the first time you met
Whether your Relationship
Turns out sweet or better
Always remember the first time you met

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Fanta is alone at home lonely

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Someone’s child is home alone

You beat me up to pulp
You curse my mother
You curse my father
You throw my things out
Oh my mother
Oh my father (oh my mother)
Your child is lonely
Feeling alone
Oh my mother
Oh my father (oh my mother)
Your child is lonely
Oh my mother
Oh my father (oh my mother)
Fanta is lonely
Oh my mother
Oh my father (oh my mother)
Your child is lonely
And alone

Whether your Marriage
Turns out sweet or better
Always remember the first time you met
Whether your Relationship
Turns out sweet or better
Always remember the first time you met

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Fanta is alone at home lonely

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Someone’s child is home alone
