Bowmboï mboï n'ko allah ka fa tan den balo!

Ka Sanou ba tigui wou toyi nô
Wari ba tigui wou to
Séba tigui wou toyi no
Ka fama ba wou to
Ka né fa tan ni sèguèrè

Kékéréké!
Kékéréké kônô kassi ra
Koblen kibaru
Magnumako kibaru

Wolodenu tôrô
Wolodenu kogon tô
Fê ten wolomousso fê

A completer

Bowmboi

Oh my darling, God has taken you from me!

If Sanou were to tell me to go, I would go
If Wari were to tell me to go, I would go
If Séba were to tell me to go, I would go
If fama were to tell me to go, I would go
But you, my love, you have left me without a word.

Kékéréké!
Kékéréké, you are in my thoughts
I'll take care of you
I'll protect you

We will go together
We will go together
We will go to the end of the world.
