Text for song:
Bi toubab diakhlé ba diakhlé
Dafi ni ko BAMBA mou néko mbacké
Mou néko ya né wone do tognesa borom té do togne sa morom
Té waxtou djouli djotna
So djouli woul waxtou wi di nga togne sa borom
Té bo djoulé sougnou bir gal di nga gnou togne
BAMBA sani der ga guedie toubab ba djakhlé
DO YOU HEAR ME FATHER BAMBA
DID THEY HEAR YOU FATHER BAMBA
DO YOU HEAR ME FATHER BAMBA
DID THEY HEAR YOU FATHER BAMBA
We did'nt know who you become until the war goes red
But now the story of your people can be shouted loud and loud
Your face your soul and your journey
But tell between god any men,
Your prayers, our prayer oh no they'll not be in vaine.
DO YOU HEAR ME FATHER BAMBA
DID THEY HEAR YOU FATHER BAMBA
DO YOU HEAR ME FATHER BAMBA
DID THEY HEAR YOU FATHER BAMBA
THE MAN GIVE ME CHANGES,
EVERY TIME I READ YOUR XASSAYDE.
MY STRONG FAITH IN YOU,
MAKES ME SURVIVE IN THIS CRAZY WORLD.
NOW I CAN GO ANYWHERE, CAUSE I NOW YOU'LL BE THERE .
WE KNOW YOUR PAIN WILL ALWAYS MAKE US STRONGER MAME BAMBA.
Alamani rahmanou fii safineu Bamba
Bi anani xadimussul madina yaw dale yaye ki niouy ramou.
Every day every night every moment
They are singing and they are crying
You may be gone but your spirit will remain.
Ah it will stay until the end of time.
Your face your soul and your journey
But tell between god any men,
Your prayers, our prayer oh no they'll not be in vaine
Every day every night every moment
They are singing and they are cring.
Every day every night every moment
They are singing and they are cring.
Every day every night every moment
They are singing and they are cring.
Your face your soul and your journey
But tell between god any men,
Your prayers, our prayer oh no.
Oooooh no they'll not be in vaine.
