Lyrics

[Intro]
I hear you, I feel you, I see you
I hear you, I feel you, I see you
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
[PreChorus]
Get free, go slow, it's we no more
To see before, Marie l'avorte
I'm on my way, they feel, we play
They gain, we go, your pain I know
[Chorus]
I hear you, I feel you, I see you
I hear you, I feel you, I see you
[Verse 1]
Down on the bayou (Right time)
I got the fire (Right time)
Over on the river (Right time)
New Orleans is a sliver (Right time)
My ancient soul (Right time)
Made of Congo gold (Right time)
It burned up the sun (Right time)
When I spoke through the drum (Right time)
Wouldn't be moanin' (Right time)
And it won't be long (Right time)
You're gonna look for me (Right time)
And I'll be gone (Right time)
[Chorus]
I hear you, I feel you, I see you
I hear you, I feel you, I see you
[Verse 2]
Black queen we see (Right time)
Red crown baby (Right time)
Go free, we dare (Right time)
Down in Congo Square (Right time)
Black queen we see (Right time)
Red crown baby (Right time)
Go free, we dare (Right time)
Down in Congo Square (Right time)
[Chorus]
I hear you, I feel you, I see you
I hear you, I feel you, I see you
[Bridge]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Ah, ooh, oh, oh, oh
Ah, ooh, oh, oh, oh
Ah, ooh, oh, oh, oh
Ah, ooh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
I hear you, I feel you, I watch you, I see you, I love you
I don't know, I don't know, I think baby that I just don't know
I feel you, I see you, oh, oh, oh
I hear you, I feel you, I see you
I hear you, I feel you, I see you
[PreChorus]
Get free, go slow, it's we no more
To see before, Marie l'avorte
I'm on my way, they feel, we play
They gain, we go, your pain I know
[Chorus]
I hear you, I feel you, I see you
I hear you, I feel you, I see you
[Verse 3]
Down on the bayou (Right time)
I got the fire (Right time)
Over on the river (Right time)
New Orleans is a sliver (Right time)
My ancient soul (Right time)
Made of Congo gold (Right time)
It burned up the sun (Right time)
When I spoke through the drum (Right time)
Wouldn't be moanin' (Right time)
And it won't be long (Right time)
You'll look for me (Right time)
And I'll be gone (Right time)
[Outro]
Down on the bayou (Right time)
I got the fire (Right time)
Over on the river (Right time)
New Orleans is a sliver (Right time)
