- Description
- I have no child. But if you want to see a jackal go along the river bank and you will find a jackal there. Jackal, what killed my child? Jackal, will you be my child? The singer is blind and as with so many blind musicians he lets his fancy roam into poetry. Who and what the jackal might represent can only be conjecture. The lack of a child is a continual source of lamentation among many Africans. Lament with Chizambi musical bow.
