Amadou & Mariam Lyrics

Est-ce que ça va?

Djama, danaya ka guêlè
Layidou ka guêlè
An ka djidja ka kê danamogo yé
Djama

Ni yé filaouw ka missi djourouta
I ki djidja ka sara a sara touma na
Ni yé wouayé ka sôgô djourouta

I ki djadja ka sara a sara touma na
Ni yé somono ka djaiguai djourouta
I ki djidja ka sara a sara toumana

Ni yé kadoouw ka djiba djourouta
I ki djidja ka sara a sara touma na
Ni yé marakaouw ka wari djourouta
I ki djidja ka sara a sara touma na
Ni yé itériouw ka fini djourouta
I ki djidja ka sara a sara touma na

Ni yé itériouw ka samara djourouta
I ki djidja ka sara a sara touma na
Ni yé môgô ka ton wari djourouta
I ki djidja ka sara a sara touma na
Ni yé môgô ka Pari wari tiè kodou
I ki djidja ka sara a sara touma na

Na massé ka sara a sara toumana
Aouw kana kê ni jongon na maloya yé
Na massé ka sara a sara toumana
Aouw kana kê ni kêlê ban baliyé

Djama, danaya ka guêlè
Layidou ka guêlè
An ka djidja ka kê danamogo yé
Djama
