lyrics

BAMANAN
Minian golo , Dangala foroko
Mati bolo do, Sa diougou foroko la
Minian golo filè, Dangala foroko
Mati bolo do, Sa diougou foroko la
Bamanaw ka kouma do, Bamanan
Bamanaw ka kouma do, Bamanan
Minian golo , Dangala foroko
Mati bolo do, Sa diougou foroko la
Bamanaw ka kouma do, Bamanan

(spoken word:)
Niyé folo folo tièkorobaw ka kouma yé
Tiè do fè baro, bésé ka moguo son hakilila
Mogo tè koro kalan ma
Bamanaw ka kouma do, Bamanan
Daninfin ye wulitayé
Jiriden yé môfin yé,
Mogoya yé hakili yé
Basa ba a kû komi à donko la
Dougoumènè ba a nièdona bèlèkili de kin
O fana yé Bamananw ka kouma yé

english translation:

A boa snake, a mamba snake
Don’t risk to put your hand in it’s shedded skin
A boa snake or a mamba snake
Don’t risk to put your hand in it’s shedded skin
This is a Bamanan saying, Bamanan
This is a Bamanan saying,
A boa snake, a mamba snake
Don’t risk to put your hand in it’s shedded skin
This is a Bamanan saying, Bamanan
This is the saying of elders from ancient times
A conversation with a wise person can be useful
You are never too old to learn
This is a Bamanan saying, Bamanan
The essence of the seed is to germinate
That of the fruit is to ripen
That of man is to understand
The old lizard nods his head according to what he knows
The ant only bits the testicle of the one he is ot affraid of
That is also a saying from the Bamanan

Music: by Bond. Lyrics: Moussa Diallo
