Traditional
Touma Ni Kelen / Needed Time
[Habib Koité singing in the Bambara language]


Now is the needed time
Now is the needed time
Now is the needed time

Now is the needed time
Now is the needed time
We're livin' in the needed time


[Habib Koité singing in the Bambara language]


Even if you don't stay long
Now, if you don't stay long
I'm praying
Won't you come by, come by here

Even if you don't stay long
I'm praying
Won't' you come by, come by here
