Lyrics
There is a woman in Somalia
Scraping for pearls on the roadside
There's a force stronger than nature
Keeps her will alive
This is how she's dying
She's dyin' to survive
Don't know what she's made of
I would like to be that brave
She cries to the heaven above
There is a stone in my heart
She lives a life she didn't choose
And it hurts like brand new shoes
Hurts like brand new shoes
There is a woman in Somalia
The sun gives her no mercy
The same sky we lay under
Burns her to the bone
Long as afternoon shadows
It's gonna take her to get home
Each grain carefully wrapped up
Pearls for her little girl
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
She cries to the heaven above
There is a stone in my heart
She lives in a world she didn't choose
And it hurts like brand new shoes
Hurts like brand new shoes

In case anyone might be wondering Pearls represent grains of rice. For the poor people in Somalia rice is precious like pearls. This song is so deep and the visual was mind blowing!!!
@Albert Cantu How can you tell?
Henry Appiah I saw an interview where they explained how they came up with the song.
Albert Cantu Ah... Why rice though?
Henry Appiah In Somalia rice is a very popular dish.
@Albert Cantu Was the interview on TV? If that's the case maybe we wouldn't be able to find it online.
That Hallelujah is powerful .
Sade’s concerts are masterpieces! You have to be present in the moment....no phone recording....just be present in the moment!
This cannot be described in words.. but the the feeling..it's overwhelming. She is larger than life.
agreed
Absolutely.
Joe Ward agreed (:
Same here.
yes yes agreed
Pearls is my favorite song by Sade but this just confirmed it - the power in her voice is INSANE
this song gives me chills like nothing else EVER has.. the pain in her voice on certain recording is so haunting and beautiful
Same here.. I think listening to this song makes someone better inside.. really
@@sebasdebordeaux8347 Yes, when Sade sings "Hurts like brand new shoes", I just die!!
@@sebasdebordeaux8347 *💌have yOU become a better person❓*
I can listen to this song 10,000 times and it makes me feel the same each time I hear it. It is a magnificent work of art! Magnificent!
You can hear her soul when she sing from the depths of her heart. This is my favorite song she sang. Shame some people take so much for granted. When others have to work in blistering conditions just to survive daily. The Lord will bless all their hearts.
Thank you. God Bless & Keep You.
БОГ ВСЕМ НА ВСТРЕЧУ!
he sings.....
When she sings "Hallelujah"...it
totally shatters me within.My ❤
wants to explode & my eyes start
leaking.😌👍 I ❤ Sade.
She is a vision to behold...I swear she is not fully human, but part angel, and human...She emits such radiance, and beauty...How I love you Sade you are a truly elegant angel of a woman....
you're absolutely right bro.. she makes you better inside! no words to tell the beauty of this song..!
Goddess Sade
She is an Earth Angel, Indigo Child ❤️
HE.......
she is A he
@@theartsyintuitive SADE IS THE BAND NAME NOT HIM....AND YES SHE IS A HE
It's hurt damn so bad but I want to listen again and again.....
"Hurts like brand new shoes"..... Hallelujah
MY GOD! what has happen to music, why can't it be like this again!!!!
Music like this cannot be duplicated - once in a life time talent. We'll never see a talent like this again unfortunate as it may be.
oh it is still like this, just make the right choice in music u listen to.
i can't stand this chart music for a long long time and choose my own taste.
there are really good artists out there,even younger ones, just they are not on the radio or in the itunes charts. and i am really thankfull for that .
you are so right absolutely right
Thank God for youtube!
listen to Frank Ocean - Seigfreid
This song deserve an Oscar,
What a beautiful angel voice describing about the pain of a woman, speechless theme.
Respect for those woman who work and support there families,
Love from Pakistan 🌹🌹🙌🙌👏👏
Can we name Sade the Queen of the World?
The deep melancholic and sorrow-laced melody of this song is just as moving as the classical masterpiece Adagio for Strings. Powerful and moving when combined with Sade's vocal performance.
the truth of this song just brakes my heart.....so sad
Such a beautiful yet somber song....Sade is the epitome of femininity....So beautiful....
Dedicated to all the poor women in Africa; and around the world struggling to take care of their children. You are priceless pearls.
Lifting a prayer in the name of Jesus for the people of Somalia. Lord, please heal this world. Amen.
......amen
Amen.
my god, I teared up and got goosebumps.
Daniella Rodriguez , I felt the same way, exactly. We all suffer in someway, but its hurt more to see and hear of those she sings about
Heavy metal type of guy here, but damn cant resist Sade. Such a class.
This is real art (:
"I think Sade is singing about how the Struggle and how Strong those Africa women are when it comes to helping their children survive the hardships and the impossible of life over there.' Thanks Sade.
In my opinion I think Pearls represent corn which is grinded to a floury consistency and used to make the well-known African dish called Ugali
Dying to survive....... Sade is the Pearl.... and its not only in Somalia......
There is a woman in somalia
Scraping for pearls on the roadside
There's a force stronger than nature
Keeps her will alive
That's how she's dying
She's dying to survive
Don't know what she's made of
I would like to be that brave
She cries to the heaven above
There is a stone in my heart
She lives a life she didn't choose
And it hurts like brand-new shoes
Hurts like brand-new shoes
There is a woman in somalia
The sun gives her no mercy
The same sky we lay under
Burns her to the bone
Long as afternoon shaddows
It's gonna take her to get home
Each grain carefully wrapped up
Pearls for her little girl
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
She cries to the heaven above
There is a stone in my heart
She lives a life she didn't choose
And it hurts like brand-new shoes
Thank you
Thanks
The amount of class this woman has alone is insane.
On the unfortunate day that Sade passes from this world to heaven, the universe will weep, greatly.
Absolutely stunning. Unforgettable.
sade you are with out a doubt the best singer in the world
She's breathtaking!
This Woman will always be my hero sade you just got to listen to understand
My favorite song by her period. Always gives me goosebumps 💙
I just burst into tears when she said hallelujah. What a soul and voice. God bless you Sade!
Blessed to say I saw this live!
You're so Lucky...!
+Noá Nila Reynoso the set was incredible!
we're two blessed
+bikerchic650 we're three blessed (and maybe more than that)
bikerchic650 I bet it was awesome wasn't that she just gave it to you like she's giving it to you on these videos man this I'm a hardcore man lived a rough life this woman just breaks me down and she motivates me breaks me down and listen up make me know I'm alive again damn I would love to see it before my life is over now she's one of the baddest of greatest singers of all time and this is Maurice from Harford County
@2:55 HALLELUJAH!!!
Same thinking
This song right here is what so many women across not only Africa but across 3rd world countries have to deal with every single day 😔 Sade told their story so perfectly from the soul.
That Hallelujah makes me cry every time. Rocks me to my core.
Absolutely brilliant. So Humble. So special.
There should be a special award created for this performance.This is the most emotionally-charged, thought provoking & sadly beautiful song EVER. The only chance this could ever be equalled might be from something Sade may write & record in the future--Can't wait for that!
SOOO right bro!!!! Nothing stronger than this.. almost cry every time I hear her on it..
@@sebasdebordeaux8347 I'm here in 2020, crying as I listen. Everything about this is pure genius.
Yes. God bless and keep you.
God bless and keep Sade and God bless and keep all of us who love her so much and love God so much.
One if the greatest songs...love sade
Sade is amazing. She sings this song with grace, serenity, and power while expressing the pain of the woman all at the same time. The simplicity and elegance of Sade in front of the sun rising in the beginning and set, in the end, feel so symbolic and fit well. This song feels like it would be in an Oscar-winning documentary or movie about a serious world issue. I feel like watching Sade sing is timeless beauty and talent in motion.
Just Perfect!!!
I cry whenever I see her...FA REAL. She has that affect on me. She's so pretty it's scary. The woman is just HYPNOTIC.....lawdhamercy.
@Zachariah-Bin Yisrayl Haha your comments make me laugh man!
Henry Appiah SADE is the 2nd most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life. My WIFE is 1st, of course. :-)
Zachariah-Bin Yisrayl Congratulations my friend. I'm very happy for the both of you : )
Henry Appiah Much thanx. Fell in love with my wife in the 6th grade. I've known her that long. I'm in my 50's now...and she's even PRETTIER today than she was then. OMG...don't get me started.
Even my wife agrees...SADE is just hypnotically pretty. I doubt that she's even human. lol
I hope Sade realizes how much I truly love her and her music.
No one can have the presence and beauty and talent of Sade. Just an empty set and spine tingling voice.. Sade Adu..
The chords/strings at 1:19 is just absolutely amazing. The way it accompanies the notes of her vocals is just so captivating maaan😢. I felt it on my bones. This whole song is so emotional ❤
when i saw her in 2011 and she sung this song i cried one of my favorite songs i didnt think she was going to sing this song when she did i cried this song is beautiful i cried when i first heard it in 1992 as a little girl
LOVE FROM GREECE SADE I AM A GREEK MUSICIAN A LITTLE BEAT FAMOUS.I CROW UP WITH YOUR WONDERFUL SONGS.
this song will for ever stays timeless and mind blowing
My mother just passed away and when I hear this song I remembered her, helping my father because he was unable to walk with cancer and bones problems. She was like rock working since 7 years old and she die at 72. Beautiful interpretation and harmony, this song makes you remember beautiful things you have lived. Thank you Sade.
So sad
@Javier Puerto She raised a strong man in you Xavier.
God bless you
This song indeed has that bittersweet feeling of the interaction of life and death
God bless you but you loved her. she was loved and she knew that in the end that's all that matters
I cry every time I hear this song. With Ms Sade's voice, the lyrics are so visual and I can see this woman walking mercilessly in the sun. :( #yjj
Shout out to Sade thank u...All of us Somalians luv u..
shiver in your spine with the word of praise
52 years old - sounds and looks as beautiful as ever ...
words cant explain this talent and what music used to be
Out of Sade’s numerous recordings…. PEARLS is a favorite . It just creates a FEELING. This is a mature version the the recording in 92/94 but still a fave!!
Wow....what a mind and heart blowing performance of Sade's most touching song IMO. God bless Africa and all in the world struggling to survive.
I still have goosebumps even though I've listened many times.
This has become my favorite in all her songs... So meaningful... The anguish is there, so present you can almost touch it....
Ericka Justine it's one of my top 3 if not my favorite of her's, the anguish and despair in the haunting lyric is so accessible and raw
not that many voices can make me cry after listen to it.... I cried.. thanks Sade
I cry evertime when I listen/watch this song. this is real music
Hauntingly beautiful. This lady has a way to reach deep down into your soul.
This is one of the best live songs I have ever seen in my life. There is no better female singer in the world alive or dead. She is by far better than anyone/anything that has came out in over 40 years....!! NO ONE CLOSE.....!! This song brings a tear to my eyes every time I watch it from this video. And I have seen it at least 200 times now....!! : )
It's May 2019 and I just came back to watch it again! The sound and video quality is UNREAL! This is just a timeless masterpiece. PLEASE come back to the U.S. and tour again Sade. I wanted to see this tour SO bad, but I was going through a nasty divorce. I want to see you live JUST ONCE! My gosh this performance was unreal! PRAISE JESUS and Sade too!
Song brings me to tears…if anyone was ever put on this earth to move people it’s safe. Gorgeous.
i have no words….., i always get goosebumps when she sings „she cries to the heaven above“
just writing 'wow' doesn't do it justice...
A woman and her voice... so simple and yet so beautiful.
who does not get goose bumps during the eruption...?!
I think this is one of most emotional and heartfelt live performance ever. #myopinion

Who can listen to that song and not cry really for that woman???? and all them like her.. Sade made the most overwhelming song ever..
I don’t know why I’m sobbing ,but this is magical and pure performance.❤️✨✨
2:55 amazing voice and air control
This woman is a Diamond, this song is sooooooo beautiful. Thanks Sade, you are a great singer, and a great woman.
My amazing Sade, God bless You!!!
Sade is a unique beauty and talent . I have listened and watched for years- inspirational performance.! Love her.
I cry every time I hear this "Hallelujah" ⛓💫
beautiful
Oh my GOD I want to see this woman LIVE!!!!
Thank you for bringing her back to my memories of a good time in my life
2:57 that part gets me every time
nothing brings human emotion and awareness to the conditions in Somalia like this song. I have always sensed their was difficulty in Somalia but nothing has ever brought me this close to empathy. the mile we might walk in another person shoes. in the arms of the angel was instrumental in bringing our hearts closer to human interaction with animals. How effective this can be in bringing a wider awareness of the survival conditions in Somalia. most of the time we feel the need to keep our focus aiding people in the USA and rightfully so, but there is a broader compassion with other countries bringing unity in heartfelt causes for which we can align ourselves within for bringing positive change in the lives of those suffering undeservedly . may God bring protection to the women and children of Somalia nourish their souls and their bodies and strengthen the men in defending their people. may it be within our universe to aid in the destruction of those who bring harm to them
Aameen. Beautiful. Hurts like brand new shoes, ALHAMDULILLAH!!
What a deep music poetry and specially the voice of heaven which could take you somewhere else....God bless you Sade.
(James Brown sings This is a man's world) but you have replied the world with this beautiful song... Hats Off

So so many thoughts within your mind, yet when she steps out, looking like such the Lovely Lady She is, and when she begins to sing...There's a Woman in Somia,and it is so heavenly sung. I cry, sing it and I Become so Peaceful & Spiritually at ease, Alll my negatives in life and stressful moments really just disappear and you fall into her voice. Uplifting you with a stride of life...mm mm mmm. "SADE PLEASE PERFORM AGAIN and most of all Another new Album. No one is like you..... "LOVE YOU"

Her music is a musical experience , man she is just phenomenal singer , ain’t no other singer can sing better than her in my opinion.
This is so overwhelmingly captivating. It transports your mind into an altered state of vivid visions of everything she's singing about. Thank you Sade Adu, Stuart, Alan, Paul and all of the excellent personnel who expertly work with you to create these timeless thought-provoking songs.
We are blessed if you have a roof over your head. Food in the refrigerator, and a stove to cook it on. God Bless Somelia!!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
