Paroles et traduction Rokia Traoré - Dianguina

Dianguina

Ne bi doo minin dee, doyòrò tè n'a, ne bi taa minin dee
Taayòrò baana
Kònò bi jèrè jiriba la, o tun'ye Jangina
Jègè tè bugu ni bajiba tè, o tun'ye Jangina
Jiri n'gòmò tè tingiriman ye, n'ga n'i yo gèrè nyua'na
Jurukisè b'o giriya
O tun'ye Jangina ye

Ee Jangina, e sòna nin kè ne la...
Ee Jangina e sòna nin kè ne la...

Se kène ye, e tun bèkè kiriba ye min tè bin
Se kè ne ye, e tun bèkè bajiba ye min tè jaa
E dayòrò lankoloya la, e sikiyòrò lankoloya la, e jòyòrò
Lankoloya la
E sòna nii kè ne la...

Cè jò n'kaa'n tile kè, jòn tile tè dunya baan
Jò ne kaa'n tile kè, jòn tile ma dunya baan
Wa anka goloba sa'unfaa, sabu maa ti taa kuma dòn

E taa'nye sira min fè, Nyankòrò tar'o sira fè, Tèninsu
Tar'o sira fè
Jò n'kaa'n tile kè, jòn tile tè dunya baan
Saa yèrè ka gwèlèn sa, sabu maa t'i taa kuma dòn
Maa t'i nyèko dòn...
Dunya latikè goloba sa'unfaa, sabu maa t'i taa kuma dòn
Worokiya bè dònkili da, jòn tile tè dunya baan
Dunya latikè diya nyuwan bolo, sabu maa t'i taa kuma
Dòn

Dianguina

I don't drink wine, I don't play in the street, I don't drink wine
Taayòrò baana
Kònò is a child who likes to play, they call him Jangina
Jègè doesn't like to wash or bathe, they call him Jangina
Jiri doesn't like to eat, but I will come and eat his leftovers
Jurukisè is a thief
They call him Jangina

Oh Jangina, you have stolen my heart...
Oh Jangina you have stolen my heart...

I went to the east, and there was no one like you, my friend
I went to the west, and there was no one like you, my friend
You are the great fool, you are the great fool, you are the fool
Of the great fool
You have stolen my heart...

I can't live without you, my love, my love is dying in the world
I can't live without you, my love is dying in the world
Oh the big toad that is swallowing the sun, because I can't find my lover

I would trade my life for you, Nyankòrò, keep away from her, Tèninsu
Keep away from her
I can't live without you, my love, my love is dying in the world
Now the world is dark, because I can't find my lover
I can't find my lover...
The big toad that is swallowing the sun, because I can't find my lover
Worokiya is a big talker, my love, my love is dying in the world
The world is a big fire that burns, because I can't find my lover
Lover
