Mumford & Sons - Wona Lyrics

♪ In the dawning light, I found you breakfast ♪ 🍽️

Sénégal represent by baba mal the singer of wakanda

cannot believe how good this song still sounds, even after three years

Vampire Weekend

Wona in Chichewa translates to Behold correct?

Im still not over how beautiful this is

Wonaaa !!!

I adore Beatenberg!! It’s so awesome to hear their influence in this collab

Please come back to South Africa!!! Your show back in 2016 was absolutely phenomenal!! We'd love to see you again!!!

Fthis band, used to love them but they sold out

Fucking love this band
🙌

Beatenberg rocks! Up up up SA and African music!

Makes my heart swell and spin around this planet.

This is just such a killing song and such a juicy collaboration! Baaba Maal and Beatenberg's verses rule! Incredible feel and groove and very fresh production! Thank you, guys, we need more of this good stuff, please; I'm addicted!!!!!!! Love it

Does anyone know what wona means and what language it’s from? Been trying to figure it out

WHY AM I HEARING ABOUT THIS JUST NOW??? Seriously love this song so much! Watching Mumford and Sons perform in South Africa brought me here

Super

Beatenburg = best part of song

This song just makes me so happy listening to it! thank you.

too underrated

One of their most underrated songs. ( for mumford and sons) Marcus mumford canımsın :) :* kova burçlum benim. Bir de şu basçı Ted aşırı sakal bırakmadığında, baby face olduğunda çok seksi oluyor birisi söylesin xd

I have non idea why but this music video makes me so happy😂 but honestly the way they're all like awkwardly dancing while walking towards the camera at the very beginning pretty much perfectly sums up me walking around campus and to classes listening to Mumford and Sons😂😂❤️

you all look so happy aw my heart is uwuing

Beatenberg❤.

Does anybody know what the word Wona means? I want to use it in my everyday talk but it would help to know the meaning, lol

sooo sweet and young :) i love your music ;)

This was put together so well, it honestly lifts me up every time I hear it :)

This is giving me so much life right now!

Para la música no hay fronteras ni razas, es magnífica esta rola, no me canso de escucharla

Wow, some south african soul, such a different musical rift its super cool...Paul Simon did is soo well soo many years ago and then a few others... Xavier Rudd did it crazy justice with the united nations...not that long ago... Respect guys to the soul of Africa the master continent where all life began, you now have alittle piece of it within you

Just watched the documentary "We wrote this yesterday " on Sky Arts in the UK. Loved this song in 2016 and love it still in 2018. More power to the lot of you!

Sounds just like Vampire Weekend meets old Mumford and I love it <3

Haa poulaar with rock music is magic Baba Maal.

Merci baaba

Just came across all these videos with Baaba Maal Collab. I'm in Love. Thank you :)

mumford and sons ft foals

Am I the only one who finds Winston and Sebastian Stan (Bucky/Winter Soldier) familiar?

These lyrics are very well thought of. Amazing!!!!!! =D

[Verse 1: Beatenberg]
You don't wanna turn away this time
Then why don't you take a different line
Don't have to be cruel to be kind
You don't have to lose your mind
You don't wanna suffer for your art
You don't wanna vivisect your heart
And then if you're falling apart
You're probably trying too hard

[Chorus: Mumford & Sons and Beatenberg]
In the dawning light I found you breathless
But I won't deny I love you helpless

[Verse 2: Baaba Maal in Pulaar]

[Verse 3: Beatenberg]
You don't wanna say what you don't mean
You still want to paint a figure scene
You hide in the wings with a lamp
And cast the shadows on a screen
You don't wanna sing what you can say
Well that's quite a hard game to play
But I have fallen for your ways
In spite of myself I don't want you to change

[Chorus: Mumford & Sons and Beatenberg]
But in the dawning light I found you breathless
But I won't deny I love you helpless

[Bridge: Baaba Maal]
Wona, [?]
Wona
Wona, [?]
Wona
Wona, [?]
Wona
Wona, [?]
Wona, [?]

[Chorus: Mumford & Sons and Beatenberg]
In the dawning light I found you breathless
But I won't deny I love you helpless

[Outro: Mumford & Sons (Baaba Maal)]
And I will be yours (wona, [?])
And you will be mine (wona)
And I will be yours (wona, [?])
And you will be mine (wona, [?])

Wona what?😂😂😂😂😂

I think it's that time of the year to just say thank you again for being part of the best night of my life!

I'll always be yours, Marcus!

How is this not the best song ever!

So so a beautiful song. I like more and more 😍

Muito bom

Good God and all the energies in the universe.

Amazing song! =o

Why isn’t this album on Spotify? Why didn’t I know this exist till today??

its a great song but i want one where beatenberg sings it all cause his voice is so calming

making this the recessionnal song at my wedding #yus

Baba Maal the king of Yela

google.com

i love you, guys! you bring such joy in my life. forever grateful <3

This album is so underrated

Please take away Marcus's hat and give him a guitar or drum....   otherwise wow... great song!!!!  Baaba is amazing but somehow forgotten in this epic!

This reminds anyone else of get him to the Greek?

Be the light

Who is the white guy?? I want hear more of him. He is the first one singing

The first singer is Matthew Field. He is the lead singer and songwriter of a South African band called Beatenberg. You can find a lot of their music and interviews on YouTube. Although Beatenberg is usually described as a "pop" band, I find their music much more unique and inventive than a typical pop group.

Sounds like Vampire Weekend .. ?

obg senhor por essa banda existir

Baaba looks very good for his age

Don't look sour, look good and do well! Think possitive!

hi there does any body knows whats the meaning of wona? I love this song !!! thanks from colombia !!

Bonjour madame merci beaucoup pour la semaine dernière et vous prie d'agréer madame mes salutations respectueuses vous prie et vous souhaite un bon moment et que je Bonjour et je Bonjour

PROOF!
The best band in the world
🌍❤👍😃

I'm not trying to sound like an idiot but, what is the message of this song? Is this a happy song, a sad song?

Marcus is looks so dumb but great music and bood video😂😂😘

2:42 "u'onar sa maca de macumba"

Poor Marcus, has no idea what to do with his hands, as they're usually banging on a drum or strumming a guitar

What a freaking amazing collaboration! So proudly African ♡ such goosebumps!

The kadodi beat in this song gives me life! Kadodi is a circumcision dance in Mbale, Uganda and people party for days!

Lyrics

You don't wanna turn away this time
Then why don't you take a different line
Don't have to be cruel to be kind
You don't have to lose your mind
You don't wanna suffer for your art
You don't wanna vivisect your heart
And then if you're falling apart
You're probably trying too hard

In the dawning light I found you breathless
But I won't deny I love you helpless


You don't wanna say what you don't mean
You still want to paint a figure scene
You hide in the wings with a lamp
And cast the shadows on a screen
You don't wanna sing what you can say
Well that's quite a hard game to play
But I have fallen for your ways
In spite of myself I don't want you to change
