Edony - Africanism All Stars
(Africanism)
Edony was the name of an Egyptian princess
The mother of beauty brilliance and perfectness
Once she decided to arrange a party for herself and other friends
Edony your hair is floating like a golden rain
Just clap your hands and I will come again
Edony first saw a grocer
And bought from him dry fruits, sheld almonds and all for dessert
She was talking in this rather stoned and most refined language
Edony I will do anything to be your friend
Just clap your hands and I will come again
Edony then saw a perfumer
And took from him two loaves of sugar and orange flowers
She was walking smoothly her shoes pearled with silver
Edony, you heal every grief and pain
Just clap your hands and I will come again
Later on, the party was going on
The guests were all cheering and applauding
It led the merchants of Tunis to the gates of the mansion
Edony asked everybody to come on in
The rumor of the festivities was heard all over Tunis
This is how is born the word hedonist
