Bright Summer Days Have Gone By
"A popular song - probably a colonial remnant. We sang it in Primary School. Learned it from about ages 8 or 9 when we are in Class 4 or 5." -Nyango
Bright Summer Days Have Gone By
Children's Song
Bright summer days have gone by.
Everything passes away.
I have nobody to comfort my life.
I paddle my canoe away.
Thanks to Cecilia Malike NKABYO and Nyango M. Nambangi of the Minnesota African Women's Association for sharing this song with us and for singing it!
Nyango talks a little about the song in the recording below and then sings it with Cecilia.
