M'bifé blues
by Amadou & Mariam
Chéri m'bifé
Djara bi m'bifé
Ka na ta ka né to
Ka na ta ka né to
Djani ne m'bifé
Djani ne bé-fé
Djani ne
Chéri je t'aime
Mon amour, je t'aime
Ne pars pas sans moi
Garçon je t'aime
En vérité je t'aime
Viens chéri, j'ai besoin de toi
N'écoute pas les "on dit"
Tu m'aimes, je t'aime où est le problème?
Chéri m'bifé
Djara bi m'bifé
