N'Teri

An teri alla yé minkè ilé yé ni né toungno soro dunia kono
Lowolo ntougna fola lé ka walégnouman lon
Mais tu sais bien alé lé yéssé kotchiaman na

Oun moussolou alla yé bangué de sekaw yé ko barika
Kana dén boro mingné daradiama yé
Nga nin bèyé yékoyé mogo leya bè fola

Oun oun oun né séwara
(Né yi fè gné wa i ko)
Kamadian camara modenou ko barika alou camara
(Ngania gnouman mi yéniyé)
Dirissa camara ye ne ta kan yanga fambè
(Djiguiya ba mi yé ni yé)
Kayba sylla kounda diama ko barika alou sylla
(Ne yi fè wa gné way ko)
Amadou i ni la diama ko barika ne sewara

Iyé né koumbin ninyèlè yé i sara bé alla bolo
Ka né koumbin ni bolo yé bolo fila barikama né fa
I yé sigui yoro dinema yoro min soumalén
Iyé né koumbin ni thé minta yé
Né ko konoro moguo yéssé ko tchiaman na

Ne kanou ba bèrè bogna diyara gnè
(Né yi fè gné way ko)
Né ya fè ki folé ki walégnouman don i camara
(Nganiya ngouman mi yéni yé)
Diama la diè bagua tchiè o té tola ko bada bada
(Djiguiya ba mi yé ni yé)
Né ya fè ki folé ki walégnouman don i sylla
(Ne yi fè wa gné way ko)
Diama ta fangua alla yo diléma Gueda rémé
(Né yi fè gné way ko)
Né kanou ba bèrè lou kalou walé gnoumandon
(Ngania gnouman mi yéniyé)
Oun oun oun né sewara
(Djiguiya ba mi yé ni yé)
Né kanou ba bèrè lou kalou walé gnoumandon
(Ne yi fè wa gné way ko)

My Love

My love, my dear, I've been waiting for you
You know I'm true when I say I love you
But you know well you should not treat me that way

My love, my dear, you're always on my mind
And I'll always be here, if you're ever unkind
For I know that you don't mean to hurt me so

It's just that you're so lovely
(I can't help but love you so)
You're always on my mind, my dear
(And I'll always be here)
My love, my darling, I'll be here
(Forever and a day)
My love, my dear, I'll be here
(I can't help but love you so)
My love, my dear, I'll be here

I'll always be here for you
Through thick and thin, I'll see you through
I'll always be here to lend a hand
I'll always be here, my love
And I'll always love you so

You're the only one for me
(I can't help but love you so)
And I'll always be here for you
(And I'll always be here)
I'll always be here, my love
(Forever and a day)
And I'll always be here for you
(I can't help but love you so)
I'll always be here, my love
(I can't help but love you so)
You're the only one for me
(And I'll always be here)
It's just that you're so lovely
(Forever and a day)
You're the only one for me
(I can't help but love you so)
