Ouh, ouh, Fanta Diallo
Sweet sweet Fanta Diallo
Ouh, ouh, Fanta Diallo
Fanta walking on the rainbow now!
Fanta shivering in moon light waves
Fanta hugging me on the mountain top
Sweet sweet Fanta Diallo
Ouh, ouh, Fanta Diallo
Sweet sweet Fanta Diallo
Ouh, ouh, Fanta Diallo
One day, one day Fanta flee away
With the sun
One day, one day, Fanta, melt away
Under the sun
One day, one day Fanta flee away
With the sun
One day, one day, Fanta, melt away
Under the sun
Over and over I guess
She melt away under the sun
Over and over again I guess
She melt away under the sun
Over and over I guess
She melt away under the sun
Over again, over again
Over and over again and again
I keep on wondering
Where she's gone
Where she's gone, gone, gone
I keep on wondering everyday
I keep on wondering
Where she's gone
Where she's gone, gone
Sweet sweet Fanta Diallo
Ouh, ouh, Fanta Diallo
Sweet sweet Fanta Diallo
Ouh, ouh, Fanta Diallo
Fanta walking on the rainbow now!
Fanta kissing me on the burning rocks
Fanta kissing me in the candlelight
Fanta hugging me on the burning rocks

Now I know I did you wrong
Now I know I did you wrong, wrong, wrong
Now I know I did you wrong
Now I know I did you wrong, wrong, wrong

And I love you rainbow, ray
Yes, I love you rainbow, rainbow ray
Yes, I love you rainbow ray
Never leave me rainbow
You got to lead me rainbow ray
Please help me rainbow
You got to lead me rainbow ray

The lyrics to Alpha Blondy's "Sweet Fanta Diallo" is a story-like poem about a woman named Fanta Diallo who the singer loves deeply. The song repeatedly mentions Fanta's name in a loving, almost obsessive way, claiming that Fanta is walking on rainbows, hugging and kissing the singer on mountain tops and burning rocks. However, in the second half of the song, it becomes clear that Fanta has left the singer for unknown reasons. He keeps wondering where she has gone but finally realizes that he has done wrong by her. The song ends with the singer pleading with the rainbow to lead him somewhere, possibly to find Fanta.
There are a few possible interpretations of the song. Some may see it as a simple love song with a sad ending, while others may interpret it as the struggle of the singer to come to terms with his own emotions and actions. The references to a psychiatric hospital may suggest that Fanta left the singer due to his mental illness, which he has now come to accept and regret.

And he returned back to the Hospital only to ask the name Fanta Diallo on that Hospital and they found that nobody had worked there by the name Fanta Diallo, she was like an angel to Blondy. So interesting 🤗🤗😀

I watched his interview about this song, it’s a true story of Fanta Diallo his sweet heart who died young. After that interview I fell in love with this song even more given that it was a true story, it’s very emotional.
