Kumbayah

What is Kumbayah?

1.

Kumbayah is a uniquely African-American contribution to American English.

Kumbayah is a Gullah pronunciation of the phrase "Come by here" (or "come by yah", 'yah' being a West African form of 'here'.)

This word has been turned into an ironic term by overusage and misinterpretation by the mainstream culture. However, it's actually a call to God to visit the singer. "Kumbayah my lord" means 'come by here, my lord".

"Kumbayah my lord"

"Let's all join hands and sing Kumbayah."
