Overall Meaning

The song Yaye Demin by Monique Seka is a beautiful tribute to her mother. The lyrics express the singer's pain and longing for her mother, who seems to have passed away. The lines "Mouga chin ningnin, Abokun mobi ou nènè mario" mean "I cry every night for you, my dear mother." The chorus repeats this sentiment in different variations, with the call-and-response vocals of the backup singers adding a haunting quality to the song.


The second verse of the song is more upbeat, with the singer singing about her memories of her mother's laughter and her playful nature. She also sings about her mother's strong character and how much she misses her wisdom and guidance. The lines "Mitossi mani pelé dèmin oh, Béssiwo mi démin" mean "I remember your laughter, Mother, and I miss it so much."


Overall, Yaye Demin is a touching and emotional tribute to the love between a mother and her daughter, and the pain of losing someone so dear.

Quand j'écoute cette chanson mon esprit plonge dans une si grande mélancolie et j'éprouve tellement de regret, je regrette d'avoir pas fais ce que je voulais de ne pas être ce que j'aurais voulu être à l'époque ou j'écoutais cette chanson, AHHHHH mélancolie quand tu nous tiens.....

L'enfance est un destin

@godwinfomen5597

Faut eviter d etre et de rester dans les regrets, faut apprecier la vie et tous ses moments.
c est les conditions et l environnement qui ne ton pas permi de realiser ce que tu voulais, maintenant si tu as plus de force , bat toi pour faire ce que tu peux . Vit !

@othnielsorho4571

Sinon ce chant est en Sénanbélés (senoufo), et c'est une reprise d'un artiste Sénanbélés décédé, et c'était pour lui rendre hommage.

Musicalement, vocalement, c'est vraiment un délice. Je ne m'en lasse pas ! Un grand merci pour cet œuvre !
