Lyrics :
On veut nous faire croire
A des mythes perdus Des passege de I'histoires
Falsifies et revus De Ramses a mandela, Que de verites tues
En ignorant le depart, on erre sans but.
Makeda etait reine, belle et puissante
Salomon revait de sa peau noire
Je chante pour raviver les memoires
Exhumer les connaissances
Que la spirale du temps efface.
La reine de saba vit en moi
Makeda vit en moi.
ravivons nos memoires
ll faut changer I'histoire
elle part a la derive,
A la derive de mes maux
Le savoir et la sagesse
Sont a portee de main
Ecoute et observe...
Makeda etait reine, belle et puissante
Salomon revait de sa peau noire
Je chante pour raviver les memoires
Exhumer les connaissances
Que la spirale du temps efface.
La reine de saba vit en moi
Makeda vit en moi.
Mon peuple danse et chante
ll faut sa joie
Loin de I'ignorance, il demontre sa foi,
Riche d'hommes et de valeurs,
lls repareront les erreurs,
Fils et filles, vous et moi,
Prets au combat.
Makeda etait reine, belle et puissante
Salomon revait de sa peau noire
Je chante pour raviver les memoires
Exhumer les connaissances
Que la spirale du temps efface.
La reine de saba vit en moi
Makeda vit en moi. - เพลง

Superbe chanson ,qui l'écoute encore en 2024?
My all time favourite. Who is listening in 2023?
And 2024!
Me. Always
2024❤
2024!!!
I remember being 19 years old and seeing this on BET. Time is just flying by. Back when BET used to showcase music from black artists from other countries.
Exactly we had bet j too and vh1 soul had sub soul which did the same thing showcasing indie artists and people from other countries.
That's how I discovered hil st soul ,jazzyfatnastees, grenique, and many other unique souls.
The good ole days
I actually saw this at 19 in college on National Geogrpahic lol then later on BET. Had never heard of them but thought they were beautiful
Actual English translation:
They want us to believe
To lost myths
Passage of history
Falsified and reviewed
From Ramses to Mandela,
Many truths due
Ignoring the start,
We wander aimlessly
Makeda was Queen, beautiful and powerful
Solomon dreamed of her black skin
I sing, to revive memories
Unearthing knowledge
That the time's spiral erases
The Queen of Sheba lives in me
Makeda lives in me
Let's revive our memories
History must be changed
It goes to the drift
At the word's drift no,
Knowledge and wisdom
Are close at hand
Listen and observe ...
Makeda was Queen, beautiful and powerful
Solomon dreamed of her black skin
I sing, to revive memories
Unearthing knowledge
That the time's spiral erases
The Queen of Sheba lives in me
Makeda lives in me
My people dance and sing
Exalting its joy
Far from ignorance, he shows his faith
Rich in men and values
They will fix the errors
Son and daughters, you and me
Ready to fight
Makeda was Queen, beautiful and powerful
Solomon dreamed of her black skin
I sing, to revive memories
Unearthing knowledge
That the time's spiral erases
The Queen of Sheba lives in me
Makeda lives in me

It's 00:10 am in South Africa, Cape Town and I just randomly thought of this song 😭! What timeless a masterpiece 😍. Thank you Zintle Nkukwana for introducing me to this song 💕
I love Les Nubians. They were the first foreign music group I saw that had their video played on BET when I was a boy. Major throwback. #Respect
I was crying yesterday…god still is a mystery in all his power he has refreshed my memory of a long lost song and he let me find it today this made my soul jump like a little girl getting her favorite ice cream

Me too!!! My Aunt use to put this on back when I was in highschool and I finally found it!! 😍💕💯
I Feel you Queen Quamma that work 💪 yesssssssss
I feel you Sugar MAKEDA 💕💐
How lovely!
Nothing beats finding a lost jam!
Never understood the lyrics but I could tell this was something special the first time I heard it as a 5 year old on my grandmother's radio out here in South Africa. Been in love ever since, then I took the time to learn the lyrics MY GOD😍
This song transports me back to my late teens early twenties when I worked at Coconuts (Music Store) on 9th Street in the West Village in NYC. Working there exposed me to tons of music and artists that aren’t mainstream and tainted by industry nor fame. Best experience of my life. This being one of those artists. Mind you I don’t speak French but can make you believe I do. 😂
I’m now 45 yrs old and still groove to this. I’m so grateful for that experience. Now let me listen to this song another 10 times before going to bed … lol 💙🙏👋
I am a Nubian and my father speaks Nubian language. My mother speaks Nubian language. I am proud and proud. Because I am from Nubia, we have the greatest civilization in the world.
The Nubian language still exist, I thought it died. Would love to learn a few concepts.
@@KapandaPhiri me as well
@@KapandaPhiri that is a beautiful song

I spent almost 20 years trying to figure out who sang this song. Nostalgia is something else. I was 13, and heard this song on the radio after Maxwell. The hook stuck with me. This era will never be back.

des chanteuses de soul mad on France des tueuse
ou sont les nubiats
Elles sont aux States grâce au racisme bien français des médias et de l'industrie qui les gardaient dans une petite boîte....
ceeceeshine merci pour t a réponse
This song is the epitome of class and sophistication! One of my all time favorites!
Didn't know a word they were saying but it sounded good!
forreal forreal lol
Kiddro22 it's the story of Makeda of Sheba. Queen who Solomon wrote of in the bible stories. Her beautiful skin. How the history is being hidden to erase our culture. Google the lyrics. it mentioned Mandela in the first verse. this is who we truly are. Knowledge of self
D. Robert Thank You.
Kiddro22 Its french .Une merveille!!!
Exactly, lol
Absolutely beautiful song and the last 35 seconds of the song 4:15-4:50 dear GOD what a groove
sabbathcore This is GOD
BRUHHHHHH
I’ve been learning French for 2 years now so upon listening to the song I could understand some of it, but when I translated it. Wow took the song to new heights. As a black woman this song was exactly what I needed ❤️so beautiful
I really just spent $250 on their vinyl discography 3 minutes into the song. It's THAT good ❤ can't believe I had never heard of them. Came across them looking for music like La Fete Selon Kalala. I feel lucky for discovering such good music back to back.
As a huge Herbie Hancock fan I heard the sample for this song on “Suite Revenge” from the score he produced for the movie “Death Wish” from 1974. Very clever sampling👍🏽
still in love with this jam
Makeda (English Dubbed)
They want to make us believe lost myths
The passages of history falsified and revised
From Ramses to Mandela, the truths that were killed
In ignoring the start, they wander aimlessly
Makeda was queen, beautiful and powerful
Solomon dreamed of her black skin
I sing to revive the memories
To dig up the knowledge
That the spiral of time erases
The queen of Sheba lives in me
Makeda lives in me. (Whoa-oh-oh-o x4)
Revive our memories
We must change history
It's going adrift
Adrift in words... no
The knowledge and the wisdom are to be carried in our hands
Listen and observe
Makeda was queen, beautiful and powerful
Solomon dreamed of her black skin
I sing to revive the memories
To dig up the knowledge
That the spiral of time erases
The queen of Sheba lives in me
Makeda lives in me. (Whoa-oh-oh-o x4)
My people dance and sing
They exalt their joy
Far from ignorance
They show their faith
Rich in men and in value
We make up for the mistakes
Sons and daughters you and me
Ready for battle
Makeda was queen, beautiful and powerful
Solomon dreamed of her black skin
I sing to revive the memories
To dig up the knowledge
That the spiral of time erases
The queen of Sheba lives in me
Makeda lives (Whoa-oh-oh-o x4)
Thank you so much for translating...my daughter is MAKEDA...and she will finally understand what the song is about🥰
@@jordanphakisi5028 no problem 😊👌🏾 Every young black girl should be treated as royalty. They are truly special.
😲😲😲😲 I never knew the translation! We are so powerful.
@@heiressaffirms no problem! This is an all time great song. That gets even greater once you translate the lyrics. Very deep and meaningful 😌
@@heiressaffirms they were trying to give us the game. Black people have a long history of putting messages through song and dance. So other groups couldn't destroy it. Its on us to know our true history and pass it to the next-generation. Thats why I'm so proud of these sistahs. 💪🏾😎
This still is the VIBE in 2021!!! Thank you mom for keeping real music around the house❤🙏🏽
SO POWERFUL WHETHER U KNOW THE TRANSLATION OR NOT.. IT PERMEATES THE SOUL.. MAKEDA! THANKS YOU MY BEAUTIFUL SISTERS. 17 YEARS LATER STILL BUMPIN' , STILL HEALING!
I caught these two beautiful, talented sistas in Detroit some 20 years at the Shelter. Stiiillll, one of the great shows I've attended in my lifetime. Until the day I meet grave, I'll always be spellbound by their music. ❤🖤💚
I looked for 9 years with no luck didn't even know the melody or lyrics. I'm crying now damn!!! Thank you TikTok.
For me to find this song brings back so many memories . She was only four years old but she remembered me and Dad playing the song back-to-back amazing that's how real mus ic affects you it's been on repeat ever since we found it. My family would like to thank these beautiful Queens for this Timeless gem.

First heard this song in 1998 and feels good in 2020

One of the world greatest songs...brings back memories

One of the most beautiful records I’ve ever heard. Thankyou queens 👸🏽 👸🏽 💫
A little history on top of a smooth track! I love this song...
This beautiful gem here brought back tears for one of my daughters he had been trying to find the song for over a year I used to play it back-to-back when she was a child
I played this song out
Miss Wills I did to
Miss Wills You cant...
BRUHHHHHHH
Awesome group! They were in Houston two weeks ago. So mellow. I rather enjoyed them. I sang their song "J'Veux d'La Musique" in French class some years ago and they've been in my repertoire ever since.
I hate I missed them. I don't get out much.
J'adore Les Nubians
Je suis amoureux d'elle je les aimes trop je les trouve belle et cultivé

Late 90's Urban Jazz Soul vibin'
Haven't heard this in almost 20 years had the album as a teen. Bring back memories of the young girl I use to be finding my individuality, and giving in to what appealed to me not worrying about judgement. I 'm still that way today at 38 feeling more confident and sure of myself than ever before.
Thabo Mokwele played these songs so much that one day he got arrested whilst live on metro fm being accused of being an immigrant when i was still in school i was heartbroken he was a host for a morning drive then. by these i mean he played a lot of African music instead of love all he got was hate and to this day i still listen to him whenever I get the chance i think he's on radio 2000 if not khaya fm, my brother your flowers sir
Sade meets Loose Ends
Ooh..this takes me bk to the good old days when me and my ex husband wld bang this cd everyday after a hard days work. This was our relax and smoke a blunt mode after gettin out the shower or tub and doing whatever else we were in the mood to do but relaxing while listening to these beautiful sistas..those were the days!!!💯🔥💞😇
2021 .... still vibin!!! 🔥
Still here 2021, South Africa 🇿🇦. What a beautiful song!
Why can't artists nowadays mimic this style?
trientamakdismone Cos that would lead to inspiration and unity. MTV prefers synthetic music with no natural voices or instruments. Dubstep, Folk music and Gangsta rap seems to be the future for mainstream music :P
There are very few artists left with the machine in charge.
@@crusadercrisps Sadly, it's already mainstream and it shows no sign of stopping anytime soon, since people are becoming more moronic by the day!
Answer: zero talent.
bcz a LOT of true artists are suppressed by the machine
no one needs to "mimic this" per se (i know what you mean though) - outside of building quality in their art
this is why we can't let open mic's, live music spots, and underground die - there's so much talent out there
but now we have to go find it
and nowadays artists have to try and go it alone - and build themselves up from the ground self publishing and distributing their work themselves (Nip) - building their own labels just to have a voice
support artists and artistry
It’s funny , despite not knowing French , I’ve always imagined the lyrics were talking about some sort of restoration or healing . I guess it’s because of the feelings the song gives me whenever I listen to it.
This song is talking about an African Queen named Makeda
Am into this song, listening from Kenya. Very cool music
THIS SONG BRINGS ME PEACE ✌️🕊️
2020 and it still BANGS😭 🔥
2019 and still BEAUTIFUL
I was searching for this I was so young when I heard this neo soul lounge huhhh my soul to happy !!!
De quoi être fier d'être français avec un son de cette qualité, sublime
