[Danielle: (Oumou Sangare Yere faga)]
My brothers and sisters, we should not take our own lives
Because of suffering
My brothers and sisters, no-one should kill themselves
Life on earth is not easy, but-no one should kill themselves
Living among humans is challenging, but don't kill yourself
Today's people are not easy to live with, but don't take your own life

When you succeed among your peers, you'll suffer from their jealousy
When you become the pride of your mother, your troubles will also start
When you become the pride of your father, your troubles will also start
So why would you kill yourself and leave your children in deep sorrow?
They will be mistreated and be called "sons of a whore"
Uhumm, don't kill yourself over suffering, because it will not stop

[Danielle: Oumou Sangare Yala]
Yala, yala, yala, yala
Dugukono cemisenkululu yo (yaala)
Dugukono musobamisenlu yo (yaala)
N'ayi m'ayi farati yaala la (yaala)
Lon o lon tekume-tekuma nin (yaala)
Ko yaala na ayi se kunko ma lon do
N'ayi m'ayi korosi yaala la (a yaala)
Yaala na ayi se kunko ma lon do
Iye n'a m'ayi farati yaala ma
Yaala be maa se kunko lon bee
N'ayi m'ayi korosi yaala la (yaala)
Yaala na ayi se kunko ma lon do
Yaala b'i ke jalon di (yaala)
