A tune about the Maluti Mountain range in South Africa:
"Each dawn you smile at the rising sun
Embracing the rays that caresses
Your muscular body gently
Wiping away all the tears of the night.
You begin to chant your sacred prayer
Of might, as the leaves of patient trees
Bow before you." - Mount Zozo by Pearl Madondo
