lyrics

Sama néné mongui diooyeeh
Néné yaw lodi diooy
Sama tanta moma doreeeh
Yaye booy nakhal maaako, maman


Kouy laal Mademba
sabar gua thia ndaayane
Deskoy laal ndatt saay
Kouy laal sama doom diéh Heeeh yay
Ayooh beeeyooh beyoooh

Sama doome sama sopé
dounda mata diooyoh
Mom lay dioyoo doom
So doundé ba mane liguey waw
Feral saay rongogn’Oooooh

---

My baby is crying
Sweet child of mine, why are you crying?
It's my aunt who hit me
Let’s sing you a lullaby
And you shall be cradled, oh mother!

Who dares to touch my son Demba?!
I'm going to play the sabar* drums from the fishing village of Ndayanne**
We’ll play the comforting rhythm ndak saiye This is our lullaby

My son, my beloved, I hear you
What saddens my child saddens me
Don’t cry too much for you shall find your path in life and find your purpose
Your sadness will dissipate
