Powerful words. I can relate to that too. " Fais comme chez toi sans oublier...que tu n'es pas chez toi " I don't like this saying. The world belongs to everyone, and we should be able to live wherever we want. But it is not the case, is it 😢? Nice and melow song. My cup of tea. I just discovered Somi on " Grand performances " watching PBS and I am so pleased 😊❤
Just heard this on Public Radio; I am enthralled. After enjoying Anita Baker, & Sade in live concerts, I feel Somi is another beautiful & stunning vocal artist. 🌺
... I'm an African in New York.. poignant line.. for me anyways, and I was born here... African.. by way of Jamaica and Guyana... :) but somewhere on the outside.. always. Music is fiyah, Somi... and your voice the sweet cream and cherry and syrup on top.
Love your sound so much! This song resonates with my Soul so much, I feel this just about everyday. I thought I was the only one extraterrestrial creeping upon the earth. Thank you for your voice and creative Spirit!
I don't drink coffee i take tea my dear Some extra rice, please, on the side And you can hear it in my accent when i talk I'm an African in New York See me walking down One Sixteen Dried fish and cowry tableside There's pride and beauty in my walk I'm an African in New York I'm an Alien, im a legal Alien I'm an African in New York I'm an Alien, im a legal Alien I'm an African in New York I drive my taxi down grand avenues They always ask me where i'm from Is it that sad place that's in the news? And is that the reason why i've come? I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an African in New York I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an African in New York Modesty, propriety I'm not the only one Gentleness, sobriety Shines brighter than the sun "Fais comme chez toi sans oublier..." they said Even though you're here to stay It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile Be yourself no matter what they say I'm an African I'm an African I'm an African
@@amynotley8929 I know the song. That's why I asked the question but what would be the difference between plagiarism and cover then? The lyrics have been minimally changed. Not very creative that's for sure
Too beautiful,thank you Somi
Black, female....... STING........what a beautiful song.
I love it..... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

i read Americanah listening to this song, and it made me vibe with ifemelu on a level so deep
Proud of you sister.
So mesmerizing!
Goosebump inducing music. "It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile"
I love the way she sings every word
Wow!!!

I Love Somi - Alien On WBLS 107.5 New York City!
Love your sound so much! This song resonates with my Soul so much, I feel this just about everyday. I thought I was the only one extraterrestrial creeping upon the earth. Thank you for your voice and creative Spirit!

I don't drink coffee i take tea my dear
Some extra rice, please, on the side
And you can hear it
in my accent when i talk
I'm an African in New York
See me walking down One Sixteen
Dried fish and cowry tableside
There's pride and beauty in my walk
I'm an African in New York
I'm an Alien, im a legal Alien
I'm an African in New York
I'm an Alien, im a legal Alien
I'm an African in New York
I drive my taxi down grand avenues
They always ask me where i'm from
Is it that sad place that's in the news?
And is that the reason why i've come?
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an African in New York
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an African in New York
Modesty, propriety
I'm not the only one
Gentleness, sobriety
Shines brighter than the sun
"Fais comme chez toi sans oublier..."
they said
Even though you're here to stay
It takes a man to suffer ignorance
and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
I'm an African
I'm an African
I'm an African

Lyrics??
Wait but this is Sting's song, no?
おお

Oliver sent me.
Is this plagiarism?
No, it's a cover of a song. She's covering Alien by Sting. Artists cover songs all the time.
