" From the lotus land where the lilies grow
and the orchards blossom on the tree trunks
Where they last the whole summer
and crown every day with glory
where the cool southeastern wind
softly greets the verdant field as a friend
and the waves of the ocean
touch the white beach even more softly
That is where I am from!
I, whose name is Mali!
I was free where the lotus grows free
where the orchards blossom
where every afternoon the rain softly cries its countless tears
over thatched huts and silvery beaches
over plowed fields of rice patties
where a cloud of smoke envelops
the stately volcano every morning
That is where I am from!
I, whose name is Mali! "
