Massakè

My beloved is calling, my beloved is my massaque
My beloved is calling, my beloved is my massaque

Hear her beautiful voice (massakèba)
Listen to her singing (massakèba)
Fifty-two long years (massakèba)
I've been longing for a massaque like her

Farini my wife was born and she is a farini
Wossoni my wife was born and she is a wossoni
Lokoni my wife was born and she is a lokoni
Oh darling (my darling)
Like a calabash (like a calabash)
Oh darling (my darling)
Like a calabash (like a calabash)

I know this religion is a religion of selflessness
Religion says I should be patient
The older you get, the more you bend over
The older you get, the more you bend over

A small car
A small Toyota car
You are beautiful, let's go to your father's house
A small Toyota car is waiting for you

The path of the man and his wife
The path of the man and his wife
The path of the man and his wife
The path of the man and his wife

(Now the wedding)
Woloba women are the finest
(Now the wedding)
Karamogo is not lying, I swear
(Now the wedding)
Wolofa women are the finest
(Now the wedding)
I met my beloved in the river

Hear her beautiful voice (massakèba)
Listen to her singing (massakèba)
Fifty-two long years (massakèba)
I've been longing for a massaque like her

Oh, my little wife
Every man has a beautiful mother
Our mothers are alive and well
Beautiful is a mother and her beloved child
She is my beloved, she is my beloved, she is my beloved

The path of the man and his wife
The path of the man and his wife
The path of the man and his wife
The path of the man and his wife
