Minapendawe Minapendawe Minapendawe Minapendawe
Minapendawe Minapendawe Minapendawe Minapendawe

Minapendawe has nothing to eat
Minapendawe hardly stands on her feet
Still she keeps going on drying out under the burning sun

Searching food to survive to keep her children alive
Will she find it in time
Or will the desert just take another life away
Will she get through the day

Oh, does she know how to fight when there is nothing to win
Only the night and then the struggle again
Is there a way to maybe give her a little thing
Her life

Minapendawe Minapendawe Minapendawe Minapendawe
Minapendawe Minapendawe Minapendawe Minapendawe

Minapendawe has nothing to eat
Minapendawe hardly stands on her feet
She remembers the time
Fruit was juicy 'cause nature was kind
When they had to run away life got harder every day
Bones now bleach in the sun
So many people she loved and so much hope that is gone
But she must go on
Oh, does she know how to fight when there is nothing to win
Only the night and then the struggle again
Is there a way to maybe give her a little thing

Oh, does she know how to fight when there is nothing to win
Only the night and then the struggle again
Is there a way someone can help today
And maybe change just a little thing
Her life
