The agouyadji is sounding[00:00:23]

Able bodied men rise up[00:00:24]

In today's world honor is becoming rare[00:00:49]

So let us examine our consciences[00:01:06]

And seek to refine our race[00:01:26]

Our language is not the least important factor[00:01:33]

In our dignity[00:01:42]

So let us learn it and let us teach it[00:01:53]

That will pay off[00:02:08]

From here to the Fouta Poular is spoken[00:02:29]

From Somalia to Mali[00:02:30]

From Benin to Guinea[00:02:38]

From Cameroon to Gambia[00:02:42]

From Egypt to Ethiopia they speak Poular[00:02:45]

If all these people came together[00:02:48]

They'd know we have the same mother[00:02:52]

Whatever the difference in our dialect[00:03:01]

We have the same father[00:03:10]

I called Coumba and Coumba replied[00:03:15]

I called Samba Samba replied likewise[00:03:33]

I used to believe those of us who speak Pulaar[00:03:40]

Were inferior but I realized I was wrong[00:03:46]

Let us be united[00:03:49]

From whichever part of the country we come[00:03:52]

We are all Senegalese[00:03:56]

If you go to Casmance they speak Diola[00:03:57]

Go to Cap Verde and you'll hear Lebou[00:04:00]

In St Louis the dialect is Wolof[00:04:06]

At Sine it is Serer[00:04:09]

If you address the Senegalese the Mandinkas will reply[00:04:12]

Or the Bassaris or the Halpoulars[00:04:15]

The Kassounkes the Manjacks or the Gnominkes[00:04:17]

Sayang Sayang Ibrahima Malick[00:04:17]

Malick Barou Sall you are a good friend[00:04:42]

Sayang Sissokho who comes from Mali[00:04:44]

Ibrahima Kalilloulaye[00:04:49]

Yangkou Ba my friend from the Gambia[00:04:49]

Malick Pathe Sow father of Pathe Sow[00:04:55]

My friend from Senegal[00:05:01]

Baaba Baidy Baaba Debbo from the Fouta[00:05:03]

Wherever we come from[00:05:08]

We are all Senegalese[00:05:12]

Ah it is late my dearest Mariama Dianke[00:05:17]

It is very late Mariama Soda Mama[00:05:22]

Marie don't be cross with me[00:05:25]

Dearest one be careful not to cross me[00:05:28]

Peace is all I want[00:05:32]

Don't ever take my love for granted[00:05:45]

I would never give you my love and then withdraw it[00:05:48]

If we break that trust our enemies will laugh at us[00:05:58]

For me all I want is peace[00:06:03]

Let us be of one mother[00:06:07]

Let us have one father[00:06:10]

Let us work together[00:06:15]

So that our country may prosper[00:06:17]

Mama[00:06:21]

Ah my son Oumar Malle[00:06:22]

My friend my little babe[00:06:24]

Oumar yoo Oumar[00:06:37]

Don't lose your temper with me[00:06:45]

Oumar Oumar Barou[00:06:48]

Don't be angry with me[00:06:49]
