Miriam
I loved hearing your songs about your native land.
In your sweet voice, you made them sound so grand.
You came a long way from humble beginnings in South Africa.
Your popularity spread to both North and South America.
From there, it permeated both Europe and Asia.
I believe you also performed in Australia.
What a delightful sound came from your “Pata Pata”.
Your music sounded so beautiful.
However, your life sadly was ephemeral.
Fortunately, your recordings have made your voice immortal.
