lyrics

Sijam Bukan nisaaful Ears of the People I greet you
Sambu ayilat jigom Sambou doesn’t know how to dance
Jakum di yaka, analul jonjon You must not clap for him, he’s no good

Jilo solo buul Say what you want
Kayla uifoli jinaña orkes Play the drums, we’ll dance to the orchestra
Jukun ohuyo olooli Don’t break them
Jililo bale sume The drums are speaking but it’s good
