Lyrics

[Verse 1]
J'ai quitté un ami et ma Louisiane
Mais dans d'autres pays, adieu Savanne
J'ai trouvé le métro n'est pas un petit boulot
Mais je suis, je suis un nègre
J'ai trouvé le métro n'est pas un petit boulot
Je suis un nègre
Mais dans d'autres pays, adieu Savanne
[Verse 2]
C'est comme un jour le sage l'a dit
Au lieu de nous donner des bombes
Donnez-nous des motos-pompes pour trouver la vie heureuse
Et avoir une vie de sagesse
Un très grand hommage à feu Ali Farka Touré, merci
