Hèrè mana di ne ma an bo tila′n ni nyuw'an cè
Ko tilaa, ko tila′n ni nyuan cè
Hèrè bè yòrò min bònè bè yen, bònè mana di e mò an bo
Tila'n ni nyuan cè
Ko tilaa k'an kadi nyuan ye
Unhun kamalen yo, anw bè sa ni nyuan ye
Ka sa ni nyuan ye
Deli bè faara, nata deli bè faara
Deli bè faara, wajibi deli bè faara
Nin deli min ye′n, nin ye diyanyè ye
Fali tè deli dòn
Hòrònkolon tè deli dòn fò nata
Hali′i bè ne jè fònyò, maaya kalan, na
Ka ne jè sanu ni wòri dunya kònòn, a yan
Walayi ala ne ni cèni'n to nyuan ye
Kamalen′i kadi ne ye
Ne ba Umu ko kofila bè deli faara, kojugu
O kofila ala ka'i ni ne kisi′o ma
Saa bè deli faara, kèlè bè deli faara
Unhun e ala ka anw kisi'o ma
Walayi ala, anw bè sa ni nyuan ye
Hinè bè deli la
Jiribaw bin ka kulusenbaw wili
Ne bè nin bè sakon m′beton'w jarabi kò
Hali fin tè'e fè, walayi ne bè′e fè
Mògò jugu daa ko sunguruba wale
Ne bè nin bè kèlè m′beton'w jarabi kò
Laïdu...

Mògò jugu daa ko sunguruba wale
Ne bè nin bè sakon m′beton'w jarabi kò
Aali fin tè′e fè
Walayi ne bè'e fè
Laïduu, laïduu...
Hinè bè deli la

I'm going to wake you up with kisses
Only kisses, with kisses
I'm coming to devour you, devour you completely
With kisses
Only kisses will make you moan
Oh woman, you're the one that makes me moan
Makes me moan
A beard must be shaved, yes a beard must be shaved
A beard must be shaved, a beard must be shaved indeed
Leave my beard alone, it's really nice
Don't cut my beard
Don't touch the beard, even if you want to
It's very painful leaving a beard, my dear
Try to leave it for a very long time
I swear I never did that for anyone
I never said that
My daughter, Umu, your man should shave his beard, honey
That beard will hinder kissing
A dog should shave its beard, even a monkey should shave
Oh I don't like letting you touch my beard
I swear that I'll make you moan
Here is where I'll shave it off
A tiger will always hunt in the forest
I'll kiss you deep down your throat and make you laugh
I'd rather braid it than cut it off
Whoever cuts his beard looks like a hypocrite
I'll kiss you deep down your throat and you'll laugh
Laïdu...
I swear that I'll make you moan
Here is where I'll shave it off
A tiger will always hunt in the forest
I'll kiss you deep down your throat and you'll laugh
Whoever cuts his beard looks like a hypocrite
I'll put it in braids
Instead of cutting it
I swear that I'll do it
Laïduu, laïduu...
Here is where I'll shave it off
Here is where I'll shave it off
