Kengue (derived from the Kongo word Kanga, meaning 'to bind'), also known as Tiembla Tierra ('Earth Shaker' in Spanish) in Latin America, is one of the most important of all Nkisi. Kengue is the Sky Father and the primordial creator of all life. Kengue is syncretized with Jesus of Nazareth and Our Lady of Mercy.
I lie half awake
Late at night
I reach out to touch you
To feel you by my side
And I reach
And I reach
But I never get to feel you
Will I ever get to feel you again?
Again...
Just one more time
One more moment
To take you in my arms
One more chance
One more kiss
Before I wake to find you gone
One more time
Before I have to face another day
And my heart breaks...again
It's only a dream
But it's also real
I don't want it to end
But I know it will
So I pray and I pray
Every night I'm on my knees
Begging for the chance to see you again
Again…
