N′terini, n'terini...

Nterini - A COLORS SHOW

The young man's voice called out
But my heart doesn't desire him
The young woman's voice called out
But my heart doesn't desire her

My beloved, my beloved, what are you saying?
My lover, I’m going to make it so you'll never forget me, O Lord
My beloved, my beloved, what are you saying?
My young man, I want to know

My beloved, my beloved, what are you saying?
My lover, I’m going to make it so you'll never forget me, O Lord
My beloved, my beloved, what are you saying?
My young man, I want to know

My lover's voice called out with strength
She tells me that her love is true
She says, she says, young man, you have done well, O Lord
My sweetheart's voice called out clearly
She tells me that she loves me
She says, young man, you have done well

The young man's voice called out
But my heart doesn't desire him
(My beloved, my beloved)
The young man's voice called out
But my heart doesn't desire him
(My beloved, my beloved)

My lover's voice called out clearly
She confesses her love to me
At the Ségou market, she said those words to me
In Tilegwan, in Suko, she said those words to me
In Fitirida, at the Ségou market, she said those words to me
In Suko, she said those words to me
She calls to me, she knows my heart
At the Ségou market, she said those words to me
In Tilegwan, in Suko, she said those words to me
In Fitirida, at the Ségou market, she said those words to me
In Suko, she said those words to me
She calls to me, she knows my heart
My beloved, my beloved...
