Beykat Youssou N'Dour

Ah Lola Ah Lola Ah Lola la
Here is the peasant, the most courageous of all man
He harvest corn and millet for our survival
Under the sweltering heat, he is hoping for rain

Bear witness to his courage
Bear witness to his courage

He is looking forward to the seasonal rain
Go to the region of Baol and you’ll know what I mean
Or to the region of Waalo Mbodj
He is in debt when rains are scarce
As sooon as the sky turns cloudy, he hopes for rain
Rain or shine, he has to pay back what he owes

Bear witness to his courage
Bear witness to his courage

How important is Nature ti his life!
That’s the only thing that can soothe his hunger
Lately, he’s had so much in his mind
That he’s been unable to fall asleep
He’s looking forward to the seasonal rain
Go to the region of Shine Saloum
Bear witness to his courage
Bear witness to his courage
