Bright Summer Days Have Gone By
"A popular song - probably a colonial remnant. We sang it in Primary School. Learned it from about ages 8 or 9 when we are in Class 4 or 5." -Nyango
Bright Summer Days Have Gone By
Children's Song
Bright summer days have gone by.
Everything passes away.
I have nobody to comfort my life.
I paddle my canoe away.
