I Don't Mind - Bambara

There’s a light I used to see

From the porch of my old house

Now I’ve heard it’s fallen down, but

I don’t mind

I don’t mind

In the backyard there is a shed that

Holds the bones of an animal I loved

All rearranged by the flood

I don’t mind, and

I don’t mind

I decided

To buy the place for the smell

'Cause some part of you is tied to it

Can’t remember what it is

I don’t mind

I don’t mind

I don’t mind

There’s a face that I recall

When sleep loosens its grip

But, I can never look at it
