    Cameroon has Been Added to Mama Lisa’s World

    Wednesday, May 31st, 2006

    I’m happy to announce that I’ve added Cameroon to Mama Lisa’s World!

    Here are links to the new pages, where you’ll find six new songs…

    I particularly like Bring Back, which you can sing with children when they’ve lost something, like a teddy bear. I think my 4 year old daughter will enjoy it.

    Play time song from the Bali tribes in Cameroon, Africa

    Saturday, May 27th, 2006

    I received this song from Cameroon a while back. It was identified as coming from the Bali tribe. Unfortunately, the language wasn’t identified, and an English translation wasn’t provided.

    The Bali tribe speaks Mungaka. But I’m not sure if they speak any other languages also.

    Here are the lyrics in the original language…

    Moni mbebela
    (Mungaka?)

    Moni mbebela mbebela mbeb
    kwatu njenge njongo chaka
    muni kwep
    fofo mbeh mbeh
    mohlu nyhani nyhani
    tikhu mbeh
    moli koli koli
    tuh mgah mbeh
    one muh buh

    If anyone can help confirm the language of this song and/or provide an English or French translation, please comment below.

    Thanks!

    -Lisa
