N' Teri

Bambara

An teri alla ye'minke' ile ye' ni ne' toungnosoro dunia kono
Lowolo ntougna fola le' ka wale'gnouman lon
Mais tu sais bien ale' le' ye'sse' kotchiaman na

Oun moussolou alla ye' bangue' de sekaw ye' ko barika
Kana de'n boro mingne' dara diama ye'
Nga nin be'ye' ye'koye' mogo leya be' fola

Oun oun oun ne' se'wara
Ne' yi fe' gne' wa i ko
Kamadian camara modenou ko barika alou camara
Nigania gnouman mi ye'niye'
Dirissa camara ye ne ta kan yanga fambe'
Djiguiya ba mi ye' ni ye'
Kayba sylla kounda diama ko barika alou sylla
Ne yi fe' wa gne' way ko
Amadou i ni la diama ko barika ne sewara

Iye' ne' koumbin ninye'le' ye' i sara be' alla bolo
Ka ne' koumbin ninye'le' ye' i sara be' alla bolo
I ye' sigui yoro dinema yoro min soumale'n
Iye' ne' koumbin ni the' minta ye'
Ne' ko konoro moguo ye'sse' ko tchiaman na

Ne kanou ba be're' bogna diyara gne'
Ne' yi fe' gne' way ko
Ne' ya fe' ki fole' ki wale'gnouman don i camara
Nigania ngnouman mi ye'ni ye'
Diama la die' bagua tchie' o te' tola ko bada bada
Djiguiya ba mi ye' ni ye'
Ne' ya fe' ki fole' ki wale'gnouman don i sylla
Diama ta fangua alla yo dile'ma Gueda re'me'
Ne kanou ba be're' lou kalou wale' gnoumandon
Oun oun oun ne' sewara

English

Dear friennd, God has spoilt you
If I were in your place, I would have thanked him a hundred times over
But you know only too well, he is capable of everything

You, women to whom he gave the power to procreate
You will one day have a child who will be judged by his fellow beings
They will say that he has charisma, that he has personality
But these are things one observes

I am satisfied and I will follow you everywhere because I love you
The grandsons of "Kamadidian Camara" have honoured me
I am satisfied with this good faith
Drissa Camara has put me on a pedestal, I am hopeful
The great Sylla family in Kayes, has too high a regard for me
I love you and I will follow you everywhere
You Amadou and everyone, have too much respect for me

You met me with a smile; God will return it to you
You grasped my hands tightly and filled me with your power
You invited me to sit in the shade of a tree
You gave me tea to drink
And I said to myself; my god, man is capable of wonders

For all those who have showed me a day of respect
I love you, follow you, and greet you, acknowledge you
Those who unite the masses, stay in front
Those who look after the masses, stay in front
Source of hope and joy, I will always be grateful to you
Because I am satisfied

I found out that he is the brother site "Unclepop's JAZZ Collection"
in the feature pages, "The Blues" in the DVD at the very beautiful
guitar and vocal melody, also the birthplace of humankind in Africa
where attracted to music or nostalgic.
