An wind na song douni
Douni ya woto, douni ya woto
Quand il me voyait avec mon djembé
Il me traitait d′idiot et de raté
Aujourd'hui je passe dans ma petite voiture
Il me traite d′ingrat et dégonflé
Quand il me voyait avec mon djembé
Il me traitait d'idiot et de raté
Aujourd'hui je passe dans ma petite voiture
Il me traite d′ingrat et dégonflé
Le jugement appartient au bon Dieu
Il jugera de manière très juste
Mmayéeeee
An Wind na song douni
Douni ya woto ni ya
An wind na song douni
Douni ya woto,
Douni ya woto
Douni ya woto
Le monde est comme ça
Nul ne peut être parfait
N′taram wit darfan
Alors que c'est pas de ma faute
Ne te moque pas des autres
Parce que la vie qui est là
Y a pas de saut métier
Alors soit fort,
Enfant de la rue
Menuisier, mecanicien
Je dis tiens bon,
Djosseur de naman
Chauffeur de taxi,
Jardinier
Mmayéeee
An Wind na song douni
Douni ya woto ni ya
An wind na song douni
Douni ya woto,
Douni ya woto
Douni ya woto
The song "Destin" by Magic System has lyrics that speak to the importance of perseverance and self-belief against the negative opinions of others. The first verse describes how the singer was ridiculed for playing the djembe drum, but now that he drives a car, he is called ungrateful and a coward. However, the chorus reassures the listener that the judgment belongs to God and that the world is not perfect. The second verse advises against mocking others, as everyone has their own struggles and there is no easy path in life. The bridge encourages different professions to keep fighting on, such as carpenters, mechanics, drivers, and gardeners.
These lyrics are reflective of the theme common in African pop music which is a blend of different cultural influences such as folk, jazz, and rock music. The song was released in 2009 and has become a classic in the Ivory Coast and gained widespread popularity on the African continent. The unique sound of the song, which has specific dance moves, reflective of the pop songs of Africa, is due to the blend of African musical influences. Magic System is one of the most influential music groups in Africa and has won many awards, including an MTV award for Best Africa Act.
