Chimes of Freedom

Si diguenté marakh massé
Bi diololi suuf sédé
Si lagn gawantou fatu mingui done gara
Ni bi diololi you tedd si melakh yi kawélakh
Yenene you melni you done rire nguir liberté
Di riir ngur diambar yi donne khekh té bal takoul
Di riir nguir gni done gadaay ci yon you meti yi
Aki tamit kep kho khamni soldar nga bou toumouranké si goudi gui
And we gazed upon the Chimes Of Freedom flashing

Si bene mbar si deuk bi gni ngui lakhatou wone di khol binga khamanténi mbir yangui done wagnékou
Bi diololi yi nek khew di riir ci taw bi ngelaw youdoul diolol you lerr nek ci kaw di tabi
Aanhh di riir nguir di bagne, di yeungou nguir ki loff
Di yengou nguir ki niak chance gni gnou faté gni gnou wor
Di yengou nguir gni gnou bedi yagg ko lakh mouy doundé
And we gazed upon the Chimes Of Freedom flashing

Si bi dalouk doy warr bi dondiou glace you gnang rott
Di khoti diaou dji di setou wer ak sell
Wayam you clochou eglise yi di sani fo soré soré ak nguelaw li
Desatoul loudoul diolol you nekoul ca rak bi
Anh di riir ki labiir di riir nguir ki bakh
Di riir nguir gni gniy gadi ak kiy samm sunu tour
Ak natal kate bi kene guissoul fou soré soré si diamonom
And we gazed upon the Chimes Of Freedom flashing

Si goudi you bari kemtane yi
Taw bi melni li louy ler té ay takander you amoul forme té toumouranké
Di wakh guir lamigne yi mounoula wakh sene khalatt
Té ay khalat yo khamné fogone nagne ni né khamou gnou lene
Di wakh nguir silmakha yek gni teukh
Di wakh nguir gni lou gniy nato jieggen youniouy nakh
Ak gni gnouye toudé thiaga
Di wakh nguir say say niou guené mou daw ba rer
And we gazed upon the Chimes Of Freedom flashing

Yi dem ba bene nir ci assamane si naw di tour ndokh ndank ndak té le

Di riir ngui yaram you niou teuj si casso té defou niou dara
And we gazed upon the Chimes Of Freedom flashing

Nagnou khol lérayou liy rir nguir liberté

Chimes of Freedom

If I had to marry, I would have a big wedding
With a good meal that you could eat from
If he sells it to a neighbor he won't make anything
With a good meal you can't make the guests come
You know that you will laugh when you are free
To play with the children who are good
To play with the children who aren't dead yet
Oh yes, I was a soldier and I fought in the war
And we gazed upon the Chimes Of Freedom flashing

If I had plenty of money I might have been able to buy my freedom
With the money you do have you could do a lot of good
Aah to live in a palace, to be rich and to beg
To beg for a change from you and me
To beg for something to eat when you have so much
And we gazed upon the Chimes Of Freedom flashing

If I had a room of my own and windows to keep out the cold
I would spend the rest of my life watching the world go by
Perhaps the church bells would ring a joyful sound
Instead of ringing so sadly all the time
Aah to live without fear, to live without hate
To live in a world where everyone is free
And the children can walk in safety in the street
And we gazed upon the Chimes Of Freedom flashing

In the fields of the barren land
The mountains rise like waves upon the sea
The rivers flow into the sea and the sea runs dry
And the rain falls from the sky
To wash away the sins of man
To give us hope for a better day
And to make us strong
To make us free
And we gazed upon the Chimes Of Freedom flashing

And then the night comes and the stars shine bright
And the moon is full and the wind is still
And we can see the whole world from our window
Aah to live in peace, to live in love
To live in a world where everyone is one
To live in a world where there is no war
And we gazed upon the Chimes Of Freedom flashing

Let the bells ring out for freedom
