Baay Faal
Baay Faal, who wakes up before dawn
For whom I became a servant
My father, who is more precious than gold
Whose praises I sing in remembrance
Who does not fear punishment or death
When he walks, his face shines like a star
When he speaks, his words are full of wisdom
I will follow him forever, until my dying day
Baay Faal, who is respected by all
Baay Faal, who is respected by all
Baay Faal, who wakes up before dawn
My master, God, who wakes up before dawn
For whom I became a servant
Whose praises I sing in remembrance
When he speaks, his words are full of wisdom
I will follow him forever, until my dying day
Baay Faal, who is respected by all
Baay Faal, who is revered by all
His voice is like honey
His remembrance is like a sweet song
Baay Faal, my father, my guide, my master
His remembrance is my connection to God
Baay Faal, my father, I will follow your teachings until my dying breath
In this world...
In this life...
In this time...
In this gathering...
Baay Faal, your words are true
Baay Faal, your guidance is true
Baay Faal, you are both gentle and strong
When we are weak, you give us strength
When we are lost, you guide us home
Thank you, Baay Faal
I love you
You are my connection to God
May your words guide me throughout my life...
May your presence watch over me
May your remembrance guide me
May your blessings be with me always
May your gathering be a blessing to all
May your remembrance be a blessing to all
