I need lyric of Wassiye and Cigarettes Abana. I mean in original language "Bamabara"
Can you help me?
I asked even people from Mali, but they are not good in english.

Wassiye Wassiye ne la diya souro
Wassiye den kourani dine ma souro
Den kourani yoro be kera kera wassiye
Den muso ni yoro be kera kera wassiye

Wassiye ne la diya koundu souro wassiye yassiya gnogon yere
Dine ma souro

Den musoni yorobe kera kera kon muso
Den kourani yorobe kera iko wassala

A genekisse ye wassi taye
A dagola fana ye wassi taye
A tchie kisse ye wassi taye
A boto kala fanaye wassi taye

I ya ye i ye wassiye
Yassi yene la diya
Iyaye iyaye wassive moussoye

English translation:
For all the happy fathers, you have just had a daughter who looks very much like your wife. You are blessed now with two wives at home.

Does anyone have the lyrics to Saramaya? A translation would be cool too, but less important. Thanks!

Hi Raggamonkey:

It looks like that is on his Foly! Live Around the World CD only. I don't have that one unfortunately, but now that you've alerted me to that, I may purchase it :-)
I'll post the lyrics if so.

Take care,
missFeudor

[Raggamonkey]

Hi missFeudor,

I have Foly! Live Around the World, but the booklet does not contain lyrics. Saramaya is also on his Ma Ya album, but I don't have that one and also don't know if it has lyrics. But I do appreciate your idea!

I strongly recommend Foly! Live Around the World, it is fantastic!

Thanks!!

[missFeudor]

Hi Raggamonkey:

Thanks for the recommendation on Foly! I will definitely have to get that.

Ah! I didn't see it on Ma Ya. It is song #6 - Saramaya. Here are the lyrics and translation:

English:
How charming are the Malian women
especially the days of celebration
when you can see them dressed in their most beautiful boubou
and wearing their golden jewelry
this atmosphere of celebration is warmed up by the songs of the griottes
and the rythym of the djembre

Malian woman, charming woman
Thank you for being the pillar of the family,
of the children's education
and the perpetuation of our customs.

Woula sera denkoundi kene lou fourata
Lassara sera kogno sinsin na lou yi son
Mali mousso lou bora benila dorokiba bi yangala
I tama tchogo deyi diya gne (a tamato)
kini bolo ba tchie
Gorobone lou bora (a tamato)
Numan bolo be balance
Ila woussoulan n'kara souma deyen ta
Kamankun be yongo yongo
Bamako diriyanke lou bora (a tamato)
dorokiba doni be fofo ka yanga
ka yanga kan ga doro kiba yanga
ka yanga kan ga saramaya yanga
Solyo djime iye fan fan fan
Djalilou diansara
Fina lou diansara

Garankelou diansara
N'ga ntena dorokiba singala
Bi muso massiri ye singala
Kele kela ma n'ga dorokiba te singala
Bi tchienga te singala
Mouna figui ma n'ga dorokiba te singala a te farala
Bi sarama ya ye singala
An! An! Yere fo kuma te n'go ngne ga dorokiba san sanou moure
An! An! Yere ma yirate n'go nge ga dorokiba brode n'ba yanga

Hello guys ... a lot of thanks to missFeudor for posting such nice lyrics of such amazing artist

here's another lyrics. song: Batoumanbé, Album : Album: Baro

unfortunately, I don't know anything about its meanings except of that Batoumanbé is a name of a woman.

A Batoumanbé wï koro Batoumanbé
Ma bien aimée sirène
A Batoumanbé wï koro Batoumanbé
Gné bolo da sï kan, Sin na diyatê
Sin na diyatê, Si tigi la diya do
Kan bolo da Kanna, Kanna diyatê
Kanna diyatê, Kan Tigui la diya dôn
Je passe mon bras autour de ton cou parce que j'aime être avec toi
ou, ou , ou, ou
Gné bolo da bolo kan bolo la diyatê
Bolo tigui la diya dôn
A Batoumanbé wï koro Batoumanbé
A Batoumanbé wï koro Batoumanbé
(Instrumental balafon)
Kawa gnon fai Segou, Sirala diyaté
Segou diyaté I fait tama le diya dôn
Ka gnognai kôdala dji la diyatê
Dji la diyatê I fait Baro de diyadon
ou, ou, ou, ou
Kan bein ponni kan banconi ponni kan
Ponni diyaté I yé ile diyadôn
A Batoumanbé wï koro Batoumanbé
A Batoumanbé wï koro Batoumanbé
(Instrumental balafon)
ou, ou, ou, ou
Péré pé pé (x 4)
(Instrumental balafon)
ou, ou, ou, ou
(Instrumental balafon)
Péré pé pé (x4)
A Batoumanbé wï koro Batoumanbé
A Batoumanbé wï koro Batoumanbé

Dear missFeudor,

Thank you so very much for the Saramaya lyrics. Your help is greatly appreciated!

[missFeudor]

Hi Raggamonkey:

You're welcome. Glad to help fellow Habib fans. He is just so awesome.

It's great fun to sing along! Here is a link to the Bambara language which I've found helpful in learning the vowels and some short phrases.

Take care,

Hi El~Egipcio:

Thanks for the link to the Batoumanbe lyrics. It's one of my favorites.

Here is the English translation from the Baro CD liner notes.

Batoumanbe (name of a woman from the Bozo fishing tribe)
Two people from different worlds discover an impossible love
The young Bozo fisherman and the siren of the river.
They could neither be seen together, nor marry.
From their idyll, a proverb has grown.
"Not all love ends in marriage"
But love remains strong.
The fisherman said: "When I touch your breasts, it is not desire.
It is out of love for the owner of the breasts.
If I put my hand around your neck, it is not from the desire to touch your neck,
but for the love that I feel for the neck's owner.
My dear Boutmanbe, not all love ends in marriage"

Ya mon, sorry if my reply seemed curt and no disrespect intended.

I just wanted to give proper acknowledgment to the original poster by avoiding posting the link again.
