Verse 1
Usiombee mambo yaharibike
Pesa usiishike, mfano wa mti upukutike
Utaonekana si lolote si chochote
Utaonekana karaha kwa watu siku zote
Walimwengu hawatakupa mikono
Magonjwa yatakuvuta ndani ya shimo
Utakata tamaa, utaandama na balaa
Pumzi hutovuta kwa raha, kweli usiombee kuwahi
Survive for fittest
Never trust nobody in this world of weakness
Watakukana hata kama ndugu zako
Watadiriki sema hawajui hutokako
Mama ach

I wake up I see you as you leave
I feel it, I see it As you leave
When we kiss I want deep but you're far away.

Chorus
Bim ba n ke bo ban shun
Fi mi si le
Bim ba n ke bo jo ba n ro
Fi mi si le

He used to be my every thing
Treated me like I was a queen
What spell did u cast on me?
Or is it the make believe

You say girl never be afraid
Of ever ever loving me
Those words I hung on too
Oh God I was a fool
You became my bad habit
Keeping up appearances, so you could notice

Even when you suddenly picked your things
And left the keys, now its crazy

Repea

If God could turn me into a pigeon
A golden pigeon or a turtle dove
I could fly to my homeland
At Douwayra
Back home where my folks are
If God could give me everything I wish for
Long life, happiness and prosperity
Then I would live always beside
Those who are dear to me
My parents and my friends
While I was in France
Learning more about art and life
One terrible phone call
Summoned me home
Where I found
My mother was already dead and buried
Orphan, Orphan, Orphan
Mama, Mama, Mama, my darling mother
Papa, Papa, Papa, my dear father
Oh Mother most kind
Oh Father full of pity

Ah little pigeon
Thank you Mariama Diallo, Diallo Dieri
Nimma Mariama
Mariama, namesake of Mariama the golden pigeon
Mariama Sola
Mariama the perfect mother
Mariama the ideal woman
Mariama a true sister
Turtle Dove, Mariama Diallo Dieri
Mariama, a real beauty
Mariama's neck is long and graceful
Mariama's countenance is beautiful
Mariama smile a little
And I will reward you
Look! you are the moon among the stars
Look!

The agouyadji is sounding
Able bodied men rise up
In today's world, honor is becoming rare
So let us examine our consciences
And seek to refine our race
Our language is not the least important factor
In our dignity
So let us learn it
And let us teach it
That will pay off
From here to the Fouta, Poular is spoken
From Somalia to Mali
From Benin to Guinea
From Cameroon to Gambia
From Egypt to Ethiopia, they speak Poular
If all these people came together
They'd know we have the same mother
Whatever the difference in our dialect
We have the same father
I called Coumba
And Coumba

Listen to my voice
Echoing in the night
Talking with the universe
Bringing advice to humanity
My friend, respect your word
Keep your dignity
Try to know your role in society
Olel invites the Halpulaar (those who speak Pulaar)
And all Africans
To unite around the fount of knowledge
That is Africa
To reflect, like the echo
A sense of solidarity
Within the family
And in the wider community
Good or bad
What we sow, we reap
Like the music of the great Peul festivals
Our song carries a prayer
That next year's celebrations
Will see everyone reunited
Reciting the same prayer

Verse 1
Mara ya kwanza ulipokataa mahari yangu
Nilidhani labda sababu kazi yangu
Mara ya kwanza ulipokataa posa yangu
Aliniumiza na kutesa moyo wangu
Ndipo jirani zake wakaniambia
Ni kawaida yake na wengi kawakatalia
