Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In your land, I will grow
I will learn, I will know
You're the sound of my heart, Mali oh Mali
Under your mango trees
I hear your melodies
Like they all just play for me, Mali oh Mali
[Chorus]
Malinké oh Malinké
Malinké oh Malinké
Tell me your history, Mali oh Mali
[Verse 2]
As we play the kora
Fall in love in Bambara
All your songs bring me joy, Mali oh Mali
[Verse 3]
Mali ba mali, play me your foli
Mali ba mali, with your Kamale ngoni
Djeli my djeli, tell me your story
From Kayes to Gao, Toumbouctou, Sikasso
[Chorus]
Malinké oh Malinké
Malinké oh Malinké
Tell me your history, Mali oh Mali
[Outro]
Mali oh Mali
