lyrics

I a o Adiatta ejukotool Ee ah oh Adiatta, I didn’t see her
Elisa ejukutool o e ma Elisa, I didn’t see her oh ay ma
Bouba Dioumaye bukon kai? Bouba Dioumaye where is he?

Añiil ajoola tan dutokool burok The Jola child does nothing but work
dahase
Mama Aline Sitoe Mama Aline Sitoe
Ubonket wulaw kasumay kulanuul We pray that peace returns to the Casamance

Ata Emit aranbenool anubaj Father Emit return us to peace
da kasumay
Di burokolaal duyokale And to our work farming rice
Aha añiil asukaten Aha the poor child
