lyrics

Aliin oomei, o ye mama Where is my sister? And my mother?
Iyo ndeysaan, aduna esore Yes, it’s true, the world is dispersed

Iyo ndeysaan, aliinom ejukutool Yes, it’s true, I did not see my sister
Iyo ndeysaan, atiom ejukutool Yes, it’s true, I did not see my brother
Iyo ndeysaan, inyaom ejukutool Yes, it’s true, I did not see my mother

Iyo ndeysaan, Africa esore Yes, it’s true, Africa is dispersed
Iyo ndeysaan, Casamance esore Yes, it’s true, Casamance is dispersed
Iyo ndeysaan, aduna esore Yes, it’s true, the world is dispersed
