《How You Are (No Mele)》歌词

[00:03:36] When I compose a melody

[00:03:36] The rhythmic imprint of mbalax

[00:03:36] Our music

[00:03:36] Courses through my mind

[00:03:36] When I play my guitar

[00:03:36] In my mind's eye I see

[00:03:36] Now the kora

[00:03:36] Now the xalam

[00:03:36] And whenever I lift my voice to sing

[00:03:36] The image before me is of one person only：

[00:03:36] Youssou Madjiguène

[00:03:36] Who is Madjiguène

[00:03:36] He's the one who cleared the way

[00:03:36] Who opened the road large for all of us

[00:03:36] Calling us toward the horizon

[00:03:36] When you go abroad you'll hear him called Youssou

[00:03:36] Here at home the boys will holler "Hey You"

[00:03:36] He collected the gold record

[00:03:36] We were praying for

[00:03:36] So we all exclaimed "Madjiguène go ahead"

[00:03:36] Mbalax is ours

[00:03:36] We own it

[00:03:36] Let's take good care of it

[00:03:36] If we do it will surely hold its own in the world

[00:03:36] Adja Ndeye Sokhna Mboup is your mother

[00:03:36] El Hadj Elimane Ndour is your father

[00:03:36] You're Mamy's husband and

[00:03:36] Bouba's brother

[00:03:36] Oh Youssou Madjiguène

[00:03:36] I sing your good name

[00:03:36] May God protect you

[00:03:36] Protect you for our sake

[00:03:36] That's what we're praying for

[00:03:36] "Madjiguène go ahead"

[00:03:36] You've done so much to help your friends

[00:03:36] I'm sure God will reward you for that

[00:03:36] What we own

[00:03:36] Is the sound of the sabar

[00:03:36] Kit drums we borrowed from abroad

[00:03:36] The electric guitar is not really of our tradition

[00:03:36] What we own is the sound of the xalam

[00:03:36] When I compose a melody

[00:03:36] The rhythmic imprint of mbalax

[00:03:36] Our music

[00:03:36] Courses through my mind

[00:03:36] When I play my guitar

[00:03:36] In my mind's eye I see

[00:03:36] Now the kora

[00:03:36] Now the xalam

[00:03:36] And whenever I lift my voice to sing

[00:03:36] The image before me is of one person only：

[00:03:36] Youssou Madjiguène

[00:03:36] "Madjiguène go ahead"

[00:03:36] "Youssou Madjiguène go ahead"

[00:03:36] "Madjiguène go ahead"

[00:03:36] "Youssou Madjiguène go ahead"
