lyrics

Inje nijukuti ni sabori If I don’t see you, my heart weeps
Ami Kolle Ami Kolle
Ekondoor ejonjon Her beautiful neck

Salymane, Emit ekaane noromb Salymane, may God give you many years of life
Añiil a ko taate The child is here
Saly o Saly Salymane Saly oh Saly Salymane

Alassane o ana atumaali Alassane someone accuses you
Alassane o du katoma Emite Alassane leave it to God
Dioufa Dioufa uma jatu añiilaya Dioufa Dioufa you have no children here
