Ballaké Sissoko Lyrics
J'étais partie loin de mon corps
Tu m'y as ramenée
Kora
Korakorakorakorakorakorakorakorakora
J'étais partie loin de mon corps
Tu m'y as ramenée
Kora
Korakorakorakorakorakorakorakorakora
Je ne sais pas
Ce que mon corps a
Je ne sais pas
Si mon corps a
Chauffe si il a froid
Où mon corps ère ?
En ce début d'hiver
J'étais partie loin de mon corps
Tu m'y as ramenée
Kora
Korakorakorakorakorakorakorakorakora
J'étais partie loin de mon corps
Tu m'y as ramenée

Korakorakorakorakorakorakorakorakora
Mais de quel bois me chauffes-tu ?
De quel bois es-tu fait ?
Mais de quel bois me chauffes-tu ?
De quel bois es-tu nu ?
De quel bois es tu fort ?
Quand il fait froid dehors
Fais chauffer l'eau
Fais chauffer l'eau
Fais chauffer l'eau
Fais chauffer l'eau, fais chauffer l'eau, fais chauffer l'eau
Fais chauffer l'eau
Fais chauffer l'eau
M'a dis-tu tout bas
C'est de l'eau pas du feu qu'il faut
Pour allumer ce bois
C'est de l'eau pas du feu qu'il faut
Pour allumer la kora
Korakorakorakorakorakorakorakorakora

Quando começou os acordes me espantei e depois chorei... lindo demais.
A música cria pontes, nos conecta.
Obrigada por tanta beleza...

Looking at Sissoko's facial expressions as he plays, you cannot but know that he's playing with his whole being and he has transcends this physical world into the extra terrestrial. By listening to this music, it makes me proud to be an African from Nigeria. This music soothes me and body, spirit and soul

This is a wonderful text that you have written here and you are completely right. This kora music touches my soul too and I love it during almost my whole life. Eva from Germany

I'm Brazilian and I loved it when you talked about Brazilian music. "Asa Branca" - This song is a symbol of Brazilians living in the Northeast because we are connected to rural traditions and roots. thank you very much.

I love his freshly pressed clothes and the total respect he shows to his Kora...this is an act of devotion....of prostrating oneself in front of the alter of one's culture...it is totally spiritual...like one who bows before one's ancestors whilst continuing to uphold he best ideals...
