DJ Arafat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quand j'écoute cette mélodie je me met à pleurer
Car les mélodies vont pleurer
Salama ta momo lanhoué
Makourou mama ti bala moikoué
Sinimi-kalimi maman kouroumatiala matchala ma
Kouma chikala polema
Makara moudjé wandi kahimi (Yorobo èehhh!!!)
Vous n'ayez pas dit vous ayez cœur
Ye suis le lion, ye suis le 2 fois koraman
Celui qui va s'amuser, il va dormir à 9h du matin
SEGUUNNNDDOOO
Allez chébéler (Matoukoulé)
Koulê kou batala kôu chébéler (Matoukoulé)
Kon téré batara kou chébéler (Matoukoulé)
Kaka tazla maléma chébéler-chébéler
Cheb-cheb chébéler (Matoukoulé)
Koulou batala chébéler (C'est le Matoukoulé)
Kopré ta maléma kou chébéler (C'est le Matoukoulé)
Choukou baléma-moina bana commandant zabra
Toukou liké moiné èèeehhh
Ketebele (hein!!!) kimoida (hein!!!) kimoina
