He’s leaving on a journey
Don’t know if he’ll
be back again
Far away from his village
And far away from his friends
She turns to say goodbye to him
Hoping he’ll
return some day
He reassures her with his statement
My love for you will not decay
Don’t give up on me/you
Don’t
give up on me/you
Hasn’t my love been true?
Don’t give up on me/you
You and me
Same situation
again
centuries have past
He is on a trip to find a new world
To put the gold within his grasp
”Don’t
leave me please” she pleads with him
“Because our love was meant to last”
”I’d give anything
for you to remain”
He says “I need to find my soul now honey,
maybe it’s in the new world”
”believe
me our love will never change, I swear”
Don’t give up on me/you
Don’t give up on me/you
Hasn’t
my love been true?
Don’t give up on me/you
You and me
The stories have in common the redemption of the
soul
And the departure of a true love
As the sun sets on the plains of Africa
The moon is luminescent from above
The tale ends as it began with his safe return
And the questioning of his life
One thing is certain now, and that
is his true love
He asks “will you be my wife?”
Don’t give up on me/you
Don’t give up
on me/you
Hasn’t my love been true?
Don’t give up on me/you
You and me please
*the second
oldest tune of this batch. Written around 1998
