Ah...
Oh man
Everyone knows you are talking about me

They always show a lot of affection towards you
But I'm the one who shows you true affection
Oh man

They always show a lot of affection towards you
But I'm the one who shows you true affection
Oh man

You are gentle, you are my sun

There are many people who like me but they don’t make the effort
White-collar workers who say nice things and pleasantries
They are the ones you prefer
But I'm the one who is there for you
True love is what you are looking for
And I'm not the right one for you

You are gentle, my support

My father is rich
And so you are drawn to me

I have seen many things
You said that your mother
Is a poor woman in Bamako

Ah...
Oh no, oh man
Everyone knows you are talking about me
Ah...
They say
You have a certain person in mind
They always show a lot of affection towards you
But I'm the one who shows you true affection
Oh man

You are gentle, you are my sun
You are gentle, my support

Brocade is not so easy to find
My father is rich
And so you are drawn to me

Is just a poor woman

Ah...
Oh no, oh man
Everyone knows you are talking about me
Ah...
They say
You have a certain person in mind
They always show a lot of affection towards you
But I'm the one who shows you true affection
Oh man

You are gentle, you are my sun
You are gentle, my support
