Sambara boulama nté nka samara sinka là
Oh my beauty Mopti where the beautiful Samaras are found
Oh my beauty Sikasso where the beautiful Samaras are abundant
Oh my beauty Segou Balanza where such beautiful Samaras are scarce
Oh my beauty everywhere
From the far away mountains I come to you
Sambara boulama. ...
Sambara boulama nté nka samara sinka là
Oh yes my dear beauty, you're beautiful like a Samara
Samara comes back from the cinema, chews a stick of gum and bursts into laughter
The people of Sogoniko admire you, you are full of grace my beauty
You with the pretty eyes that pierce through the darkness of the night
Come let's go dance for a year, let's go dance for eternity
