Banna

My ancestor was African
Malgassian, Tamil, and European
Citizen of the island, and a bit of her countryside
Whether in joy or in suffering
That is the essence of Reunion
Everyone has their place, and it's the same here
Often I think
Why do the children cry
Children who don't want to grow up
Filling their bellies
Children, children
Oh, children, our children are lost
Children, children
Oh, children, our children are lost
(Y héee)
(Ou wooo)
Today I know that my ancestors gave me
Not just an idea
To be beautiful, to stay in my corner
We must bring it to light
Give it its place
All its pride and its class
The same value for all that I am
Often I wonder
Why is it like this?
It's enough to put a little Creole in front
Not like a summer fling
Children, children
Oh, children, our children are lost
Children, children
Oh, children, our children are lost
(Oh, children, the charlatans)
Children, children
(Hey)
Oh, children, our children are lost
(Oh, children, the charlatans)
Children, children
Oh, children, our children are lost
Who are we?
We must show that Creole is worthy
Who are we?
In all that it is, there is not a single unnecessary part
Who are we?
In the great round of society
Who are we?
We do not take Creole
To abandon our French
Who are we?
We speak, write, eat, and live
Who are we?
Sharing, thinking, and living
Who are we?
As Creoles, let's show the children
Who are we, who are we?
For ten years, I have dreamed
Not to make a movie
All together, we rise
Saying we don't want to be mistreated anymore
We don't need to lose ourselves like this
Harmony in all that we are
That is our strength, children
Children, children
Oh, children, our children are lost
(Oh, children, the charlatans)
Children, children
Oh, children, our children are lost
(Oh, children, the charlatans)
Children, children
(Oh, children, the charlatans)
Oh, children, our children are lost
(Oh, children, the charlatans)
Children, children
(Oh, children, the charlatans)
Oh, children, our children are lost
(Oh, children, the charlatans)
Oh, children, our children are lost
(Oh, children, the charlatans)
Oh, children, our children are lost
(Oh, children, the charlatans)
Oh, children, our children are lost
(Oh, children, the charlatans)
Oh, children, our children are lost
