《Agouyadji》歌词

[00:00:51] The agouyadji is sounding

[00:00:55] Able bodied men rise up

[00:01:05] In today's world honor is becoming rare

[00:01:08] So let us examine our consciences

[00:01:18] And seek to refine our race

[00:01:19] Our language is not the least important factor

[00:01:24] In our dignity

[00:01:25] So let us learn it and let us teach it

[00:01:29] That will pay off

[00:01:38] From here to the Fouta Poular is spoken

[00:01:40] From Somalia to Mali

[00:01:43] From Benin to Guinea

[00:01:47] From Cameroon to Gambia

[00:01:49] From Egypt to Ethiopia they speak Poular

[00:01:59] If all these people came together

[00:02:02] They'd know we have the same mother

[00:02:04] Whatever the difference in our dialect

[00:02:14] We have the same father

[00:02:19] I called Coumba and Coumba replied

[00:02:22] I called Samba Samba replied likewise

[00:02:29] I used to believe those of us who speak Pulaar

[00:02:44] Were inferior but I realized I was wrong

[00:02:58] Let us be united

[00:03:04] From whichever part of the country we come

[00:03:08] We are all Senegalese

[00:03:19] If you go to Casmance they speak Diola

[00:03:23] Go to Cap Verde and you'll hear Lebou

[00:03:33] In St Louis the dialect is Wolof

[00:03:37] At Sine it is Serer

[00:03:38] If you address the Senegalese the Mandinkas will reply

[00:03:49] Or the Bassaris or the Halpoulars

[00:03:57] The Kassounkes the Manjacks or the Gnominkes

[00:04:04] Sayang Sayang Ibrahima Malick

[00:04:08] Malick Barou Sall you are a good friend

[00:04:26] Sayang Sissokho who comes from Mali

[00:04:32] Ibrahima Kalilloulaye

[00:04:33] Yangkou Ba my friend from the Gambia

[00:04:40] Malick Pathe Sow father of Pathe Sow

[00:04:42] My friend from Senegal

[00:04:43] Baaba Baidy Baaba Debbo from the Fouta

[00:04:47] Wherever we come from

[00:04:56] We are all Senegalese

[00:05:01] Ah it is late my dearest Mariama Dianke

[00:05:16] It is very late Mariama Soda Mama

[00:05:22] Marie don't be cross with me

[00:05:27] Dearest one be careful not to cross me

[00:05:36] Peace is all I want

[00:05:53] Don't ever take my love for granted

[00:05:57] I would never give you my love and then withdraw it

[00:06:12] If we break that trust our enemies will laugh at us

[00:06:16] For me all I want is peace

[00:06:28] Let us be of one mother

[00:06:38] Let us have one father

[00:06:45] Let us work together

[00:06:49] So that our country may prosper

[00:07:03] Mama

[00:07:04] Ah my son Oumar Malle

[00:07:11] My friend my little babe

[00:07:13] Oumar yoo Oumar

[00:07:15] Don't lose your temper with me

[00:07:23] Oumar Oumar Barou

[00:07:24] Don't be angry with me
