lyrics

Oh, Baye Ndongo ngui beugg dem sa dara
Amoufa ndeye, amoufa baye, diambar la
Bou agn joté, mou beugg agn manatouko
Bou rerr joté, mou beugg rerr manatouko

Baye Ndongo, bougn nodé fadiar lay yewou
Diapp, diouli, diangue, wadial dem yalwani
Ndiolor, timiss gui, si alleu ba lakoy fekeu
Saarah agn mbaa saarah rerr moko tchiy guéné

Bou goudi dioté
Bamou deelou sa daar ja
Niak limou yobou, serigne silé tekk ko ay daane
Sakou kham, mba yalwane moko yobou daara
Baye Ndongo manatoul
Mom milé , mom sonou na d
Li waral lolou, Lilii waral lolou,
Li waral lolou
Modi thiono jamfaye dadj

Thiono jamfay daj fakh-man lakoy diourral
Motakhit deram dougn ko massa settal
Ndongo daaara, teguina yoonou daara
Nguir am diam, diam dio xam ni nakhar lassiy dieulé

Oh, Baye Ndongo wants to leave to study at Daara*
No mother, no father, way down there
He's a warrior
But when lunchtime comes, there’s nothing to eat
When dinner time comes, there’s nothing to eat

Baye Ndongo, rising at dawn
Performs ablutions, prays, studies and prepares to go begging
In the full light of day, before nightfall, he is always out and about "Give me something to eat!”

At nightfall he returns to the Daara empty handed
His master admonishes him
Starving for knowledge, he went to the Daara with hands outstretched
But Baye Ndongo can't take it anymore
He’s there, but he’s exhausted
These obstacles, these obstacles, these obstacles
Cause him great exhaustion

The difficulties and dilemmas he experiences there might render him "fakh-man"**
Our little Ndongo Daara no longer takes the path of the Daara
For the supposed path of peace is filled with anguish and resentment
