Love's Embrace

Love's embrace, my love
How sweet is love
How sweet is love
How sweet is love
When it flows through our veins
In a foreign land, we find solace
When it fills our hearts
In a strange place, we find peace
When it lifts our spirits
In the realm of dreams, we find joy
I sing, Salifou, the white man, I sing
For you, my beloved
Love's embrace, my love
How sweet is love
My guitar, I adore it
My guitar, I adore it
My guitar, I adore it
When its strings caress my fingers
In a harmonious embrace
When its melody fills the air
It whispers secrets to my soul
My voice
It dances through the air
Makodja, Makodja...
It dances through the air
God has touched it
Senegalese melodies embrace us
It dances through the air
Amadou
God has given you a gift
Fatoumata, your Arabic songs enchant us
Makodja, Makodja...
Love's embrace, my love
How sweet is love
How sweet is love
How sweet is love
How sweet is love
My guitar
Its strings are like the rivers of my people
They flow through the Fulani land
They are the dances of the Fulani
They flow through the land of the Goni
They are the songs of the Goni
Madou's dance is like the flowing river
They are the rhythms of the river
Solo embraces the dance of the river
They flow through the river of time
They are the songs of the river
I sing, Salifou, the white man, I sing
For you, my beloved
Love's embrace, my love
How sweet is love
How sweet is love
How sweet is love
How sweet is love
My guitar, I adore it
My guitar, my love
I adore it...
