Remember my darling
You and I
On the land where I grew up
We were
So happy
It's like a dream now
Remember my darling
We lived our love
Without thinking about tomorrow
In the village where I grew up
The baobab tree was our meeting place
I remember every moment
With great joy
I drank palm wine in the village
I drank palm wine under the baobab tree
With Mbembe
And the other girls with their beautiful smiles
And we sang
And we danced all night long
Under the moonlit sky
Remember my darling
The days we spent together
Remember my darling
My darling, I will never forgetThat time we spent togetherWe were so happy
Remember my darlingWe were so happyThat time we spent togetherWe were so happy
We were so happyRemember my darlingWe were so happy
We were so happyI remember it like it was yesterdayWe were so happy
-My darlingWe were so happy
I remember it like it was yesterdayWe were so happy
