Tattie Bogle Si Si Dolada(info please) (11) RE: Si Si Dolada(info please) 05 Mar 25


Well, only 18 years on, but this is the info and lyrics I have for it, having sung it in a community singing group some years ago.
The 3 sections each have different tunes, which all harmonise well with each other, so yes, sing it as a round.
If anyone wants the tune, I could transcribe it to standard notation.

BANAHA

Banaha, a Congolese folk song, translates to something a bit silly:
“At the foot of the pineapple tree, Yaku ladles banana into his aunt's red hat”


Sisi sisi dolada
Yaku sine ladu banaha
Sisi sisi dolada
Yaku sine ladu banaha

Banaha banaha
Yaku sine ladu banaha
Banaha banaha
Yaku sine ladu banaha

Ha banaha
Yaku sine ladu banaha
Ha banaha
Yaku sine ladu banaha
