Текст и перевод песни Habib Koité - Massakè

Massakè

Fama yé demisein bèyé fama yé massakèba
Fama yé demisein bèyé fama yé massakèba

I ba bi djasso yan (massakèba)
I fa bi ladiya (massakèba)
Cinquante deux yima nani (massakèba)
I madjigui massakè massakèba

Farini mona woulada la farini mona
Wossoni mona woulada la wossoni mona
Lokoni mona woulada la lokoni mona
O kadi wa (okadi)
Aka kalan (aka kalan)
O kadi wa (okadi)
Aka kalan (aka kalan)

Ma wari diné ma neka djonmoussoba
Wari di ne ma woula sera
Bwa finissan ne ye ne ka djonkèba
Fini san neye seli sera

Gondjigui tchièkagni
Gondjigui féréta tchièkagni
A bolo fila siri lén ya ko
Gondjigui dabali banné don héé

Gon ni bala gon farima
Gon ni bala woulassera
Gon ni bala gon farima
Gon ni bala woulassera

(A tora dénkola)
Woloba bèrè koun wilylén filè
(A tora dénkola)
Karamogo da fila yi bolo wa wa wa
(A tora dénkola)
Wolofa yèrè koun wilylén alla alla alla
(A tora dénkola)
Diamana tigui ma tlonguè ola ola ola

I ba bi djasso yan (massakèba)
I fa bi ladiya (massakèba)
Cinquante deux yima nani (massakèba)
I madjigui massakè massakèba

Aya minè ni djoyé
Gon koulou djiguina tigua foro la
Tigua kènè dèssè lén dougoub ni konona
Foro tigui diminén gondjigui diaman na
A diaman na a diaman na a diaman na

Gon ni bala gon farima
Gon ni bala woulassera
Gon ni bala gon farima
Gon ni bala woulassera

Massakè

My beloved is calling, my beloved is my massaque
My beloved is calling, my beloved is my massaque

Hear her beautiful voice (massakèba)
Listen to her singing (massakèba)
Fifty-two long years (massakèba)
I've been longing for a massaque like her

Farini my wife was born and she is a farini
Wossoni my wife was born and she is a wossoni
Lokoni my wife was born and she is a lokoni
Oh darling (my darling)
Like a calabash (like a calabash)
Oh darling (my darling)
Like a calabash (like a calabash)

I know this religion is a religion of selflessness
Religion says I should be patient
The older you get, the more you bend over
The older you get, the more you bend over

A small car
A small Toyota car
You are beautiful, let's go to your father's house
A small Toyota car is waiting for you

The path of the man and his wife
The path of the man and his wife
The path of the man and his wife
The path of the man and his wife

(Now the wedding)
Woloba women are the finest
(Now the wedding)
Karamogo is not lying, I swear
(Now the wedding)
Wolofa women are the finest
(Now the wedding)
I met my beloved in the river

Hear her beautiful voice (massakèba)
Listen to her singing (massakèba)
Fifty-two long years (massakèba)
I've been longing for a massaque like her

Oh, my little wife
Every man has a beautiful mother
Our mothers are alive and well
Beautiful is a mother and her beloved child
She is my beloved, she is my beloved, she is my beloved

The path of the man and his wife
The path of the man and his wife
The path of the man and his wife
The path of the man and his wife
