Paroles et traduction Dobet Gnahoré - Samahani

Samahani

Nisamehehe, kwa imani yangu mbaya
Nisamehe, kwa kuwa mbali ee
Hata hivyo nakupenda,
Na sina samaha ya kupenda
Yelele aa nifanye yelele
Yelele aaa nifanye yelele
Samahani kwa wakati ulipotea
Ulisubiri na ulitegemea
Nisamehe ujinga wangu
Nisamehe kutokua wako kimwili mbele yako
Nife nife yeiye oo
Nife nife aa oo aa oo
Nife nife leleleleo
Nife nife nife
Mbele ya hawa uwapendao
Samehe hasira zangu oo
Unaweza kunisahau
Lakini, lakini nisamehe
Nife nife...
Yelele yelele aa haa
(Chants)
Je veux dire samahani, pardon.

Forgiveness

Forgive me, for my bad faith
Forgive me, for being far away
Yet I love you,
Yet I'm not forgivable for loving
Yelele aa let me make yelele
Yelele aaa let me make yelele
Forgive me for the lost time
You waited and you hoped
Forgive my folly
Forgive me for not being there for you in the flesh
Let me die, let me die yeiye oo
Let me die, let me die aa oo aa oo
Let me die, leleleleo
Let me die, let me die
In front of these people you love
Forgive my anger, forgive my temper
You can forget me
But, but forgive me
Let me die, let me die...
Yelele yelele aa haa
(Chants)
I want to say I'm sorry, I apologize.
