Paroles et traduction Habib Koité - Barra

Barra

Fasso den gnouman laben touma sera
Fasso den gnouman angua wuli angua barra
Fasso den gnouman ya be soro barra la dè
Yèlèma horongna be soro barra la
Toguo tiguiya be soro bara la
Angua wuli angua barra angua wuli ka dokè

Mali sènèkè law ani Mali monikèlaw
(Awni barra)
Mali baguanguènnaw ani Mali diaguokèlaw
(Awni barra)

Yerma fourtchini yerma guoyi
Diopen hala nguaren nguolen
Ayet madjarate nashkhall

Mali sènèkè law ani Mali monikèlaw
(Awni barra)
Mali baguanguènnaw ani Mali diaguokèlaw
(Awni barra)

Angua wuli angua barra
Angua wuli anga dokè
Angua wuli angua barra
Angua wuli anga dokè

Barra

My country is the first to be created in the evening
My country is our blood, our spirit, our barra
My country is what God gave to us
The white people came and gave us this barra
The French came and gave us this barra
Our blood, our spirit, our barra

Mali is the mother of laws and the mother of ideas
(Listen to the barra)
Mali is the protector and gatherer of secrets
(Listen to the barra)

The war is approaching, the war is approaching
We hear the sound of the weapons
Let’s pray to turn this away

Mali is the mother of laws and the mother of ideas
(Listen to the barra)
Mali is the protector and gatherer of secrets
(Listen to the barra)

Our blood, our spirit, our barra
Our blood, we have to defend
Our blood, our spirit, our barra
Our blood, we have to defend
