Fatalité
Ala, mansa dan mansa
Bii latikè jòn bè, sinii latikè jòn bè, doo dò, dooda dooma
Latikè jòn bè
Bii latikè jòn bè, sinii latikè jòn bè, doo′w doo latikè baa
Ala kelen ye
Ka sanu ni wòri di dòw ma, dòw tèkè lankolon to
Ka hèrè baden kè dòw ye, dòw tile kè nyaniba jugu la
Ka woloden ciaama di dòw ma, dòw jè woloden kelen la
Aaw kann'o kè ulu la kodòn baliya ye
Aaw kann′o kè ulu la kolanyinilen ye
Sabu dunya ye sògòma ciamanye, dunya doo ka cian
Latikè bali tè karaba, dunya doo ka cian
Dutigi m'un saara u'ye mun kè, mun′u kisiraa u′ye muun
Dii
Dòw naa ye saa la u'ye muun kè, mun′u ta kisin'e u ye
Mun dii
Jabaru mansa ye se, danli mansa ye se
Wahidu mansa ye se, aw′a jalaki t'ila fènè
N′i bè miin kè, i b'o kè, n'i bè miin to ile i b′o to
Ni min cinyè na i k′o da ala kan, ni min nyana ala tantu
I kana mògòsi jalaki dunya, i kana mògòsi lan'kò dunya
Ni faama ye min da nya kama, jònsi tè se o latnyè
Latikè yo...

O Allah, the King of Kings
When the time comes, we shall depart, when the time comes, we shall depart, dudu dum, dudu duma
Our time will come
When the time comes, we shall depart, when the time comes, we shall depart, duwu dudu our time cometh
Only one God
Who gives us health and brings us joy, who protects us from all evil
Who creates the sun each day, who keeps us alive each night
Who feeds us with his bounty, who makes us who we are
O God, there is no refuge but with you
O God, there is no protection but with you
For this world is a place of trials and tribulations, this world will pass away
The world's wealth is like the dew on the morning grass, this world will pass away
My friend, if I should leave you, you will continue, you will continue on
Yes
If I am no longer there, you will find someone else
Yes
The king of kings is coming, the king of the universe is coming
The only king, whose praise is everlasting
If I do not know you, you do not know me, if I do not know you, you do not know me
If I meet you, I will know you, if I meet you, I will know you
You are a stranger in this world, you are a traveler in this world
If my chief should take me, my kin shall not mourn for me
Our time...
