Taxi Bamako
by Amadou & Mariam
Taxi Bamako
Où tu veux , je t'emmène
Taxi Bamako
Tu m'appelles je suis là
Taxi Bamako
Je suis le plus rapide
Taxi Bamako
Tu es ma seule cliente
Tu t'assois, je conduis
On traverse le pont
Je fais ma course au ciel
J'évite tous les
trafics, les problèmes
mécaniques...
Je suis le plus rapide
On traverse le pont...
Je fais ma course au ciel
Tu t'assois, je conduis...
