Sarama Songtext

von Rokia Traoré

Mousso Sarama ni mousso dembéma ni mousso tchègni bè Bamako
Bakakènè mousso ni guipure mousso ni mini dow na bè Bamako
Alé tama tchoko tè massi nièlagoya
Alé yé nièla tè massi nisôgoya

Every day, dressed like a queen
In blue, red, yellow dresses
Women in Bamako are beautiful

Oh Mali mousso
I miss your smile
I want to hear your laughter

Né ma dan sôro n'korô mousso ou la
Mali mousso I tama tchoko kagny
Né ma dan sôrô n'dôkô mousso ou la
Farafina mousso ou sara ba ou la
Né bè foli bila n'wolo ba ou yé
Ah moussoya
A kouma fôba katchan dé
Ah moussoya
A wale kè baka matchan
Sébè Alla yé, bara bè mousso bolo
Tchè mana nia fourouso mousso
Tchè mana tiniè fourouso mousso
Dén mana niè a woloba mousso
Dé mana tiniè a woloba mousso
Bana baou, fama baou ni nalomaou
Wolo baka ni ou ladow baka

Ô Farafina mousso
I miss your smile
Every day they face their destiny
Shirtless, barefoot under the sun
Women in Africa are strong

Ô Farafina mousso
I miss your smile
I want to hear your laughter
I admire the courage you face your destiny with

Ô Farafina mousso
I miss your smile
I want to hear your laughter
My inspiration is drawn from you

Ô Farafina mousso
I miss your smile
Anything good ican do
I want it to be a tribute to you

Ô Farafina mousso
I miss your smile
Mali mousso ou tamatchoko kagni
Farafina mousso ou sarabaou la
