Oh Moriba, my friend,
Moriba, you never refused to dance the djougouya, you never said no to the djougouya
There is only dancing. Oh noble Moriba,
Moriba, you never refused to sing praises,
you never said no, there is only singing.
I am calling youuuu,
I am calling you out loud
I am calling youuuu heee
I am calling you because my heart aches for you
The griots ache for you
The whole community aches for you
Oh Moriba, my friend,
Moriba, you never refused to dance the djougouya,
you never said no, there is only singing.
You are a descendant of kings,
A descendant of griots,
A descendant of nobles,
A descendant of warriors,
A descendant of blacksmiths,
A descendant of those who spin cotton,
You never refused to sing praises,
Moriba, my brother, there is only singing,
