The song "Sore" by Diogal is sung in the Wolof language and talks about hardships and struggles in life. The lyrics talk about different kinds of sorrows and how they affect people's lives. The lines "Yaggna sori Amna niou sori Fi lo sori sori boum la takh nga niawo" which roughly translates to "My sorrows and your sorrows, so many sorrows, we have nothing left to give" evoke a feeling of helplessness and despair.
The repetition of the lines "Soumadane sori Soumadane sori mane" and "Fi lo sori sori boum la takh nga niawo" throughout the song add a certain emphasis to the lyrics and make it more impactful. The line "Wowo yeye wowo Africa" which means "Look at us, Africa", is a call to action for Africans to look at themselves and their problems, and to work together to solve them.
Overall, the song "Sore" is a lament for the troubles people face in life, but it also encourages people to come together and support each other in times of hardship.
