[Mandinka] Love Song

Lyrics

[Intro]  
Ooh-ooh, ha-ha, ooh-ooh, ha

[Verse 1]  
Bantaba yé, kelen na ña  
Sita lɔrɔ, ñin na mbalima  
Fɔlɔ bɛɛ yé, kanu waato  
Duniyaa yé, ɲinɛ baa wooto

[Pre-Chorus]  
Sita dɛnkɛ, kono kɔbɛn  
Na sunɔ, n'dɔɔn na kɛlɛn  
Muso yé, n'fa ni yɔrɔ  
Juma kɔmɔ, duniyaa lafa

[Chorus]  
Kan min jiyo, kanu yé fire  
Dɔɔni saara, domo ni baara  
N'dɔɔn kɔrɔ, dɔ sɔrɔ la  
Kɛlɛ la ni, a bɛ kɛbɛ la  
Ooh-ooh, dɔɔli fɔlɔ  
Bantaba yé, kɔdɔ fɔlɔ

[Verse 2]  
Suma kuma, sita la feere  
Kanu yé, tiloo n'daa kɔri  
Dɔɔ kunna, fɔlɔ yé kɛlɛ  
Duniyaa la, kanu nyininkɛ

[Pre-Chorus]  
Sita dɛnkɛ, kono kɔbɛn  
Na sunɔ, n'dɔɔn na kɛlɛn  
Muso yé, n'fa ni yɔrɔ  
Juma kɔmɔ, duniyaa lafa

[Chorus]  
Kan min jiyo, kanu yé fire  
Dɔɔni saara, domo ni baara  
N'dɔɔn kɔrɔ, dɔ sɔrɔ la  
Kɛlɛ la ni, a bɛ kɛbɛ la  
Ooh-ooh, dɔɔli fɔlɔ  
Bantaba yé, kɔdɔ fɔlɔ

[Bridge]  
N'juma na, n'kɛbɛ mɔɔ  
Kanu kɛ, n'diɛ kɔmɔ  
Sitaa fɔlɔ, yé tɔmɔ  
Sita na lo, juma kɔmɔ

[Chorus]  
Kan min jiyo, kanu yé fire  
Dɔɔni saara, domo ni baara  
N'dɔɔn kɔrɔ, dɔ sɔrɔ la  
Kɛlɛ la ni, a bɛ kɛbɛ la  
Ooh-ooh, dɔɔli fɔlɔ  
Bantaba yé, kɔdɔ fɔlɔ

[Outro]  
Ooh-ooh, ha, tala dunyo  
Fire dɔɔ, n'na ni i  
N'dɔɔn kɔrɔ, n'na kɛla  
Kanu dɔɔ, juma bɛla
