Lyrics

French:
Ali Ali Ali il est temps de te consoler
Ali Ali Ali il est temps de te consoler
Si tu veux garder la tête froide, tu ne dois pas pleurer
Si tu veux de l’eau, tu ne dois pas pleurer
Si tu veux aller au lit, tu ne dois pas pleurer
Ali Ali Ali il est temps de te consoler
Ali Ali Ali il est temps de te consoler
English:
Ali Ali Ali it’s time to console you
Ali Ali Ali it’s time to console you
If you want to keep your head, you mustn’t cry
If you want water, you mustn’t cry
If you want to go to bed, you mustn’t cry
Ali Ali Ali it’s time to console you
Ali Ali Ali it’s time to console you
Songhai:
Ali Ali Ali ni yantoka dangay
Ali Ali Ali ni yantoka dangay
Ni maba kamkam n’a si né
Ni maba ngayène n’a si né
Ni maba fafa n’a si né
Ni ba ka djirbi n’a si né
Ali Ali Ali ni yantoka dangay
Ali Ali Ali ni yantoka dangay
Ni maba kamkam n’a si né
Ni maba ka djirbi n’a si né
Ni maba ka kani n’a si né
Ali Ali Ali ni yantoka dangay
Ali Ali Ali ni yantoka dangay
Ali Ali Ali ni yantoka dangay
Ali Ali Ali ni yantoka dangay
