Lyrics

Án nàkun yé fɔ́li dè yé

Aah, dúniya yé túlon yé

Án b'ò kɛ́ kó ɲì, án b'ò kɛ́ kó ɲì

Jàma!

Sábali, sábali, sábali ɲɔ̀gɔn tɛ́

Sábali, sábali, sábali ká ɲì

N'í kɛ́ra mɔ̀gɔ fɛ̀, sábali ɲɔ̀gɔn tɛ́

N'í b'í cɛ̀ fɛ̀, sábali ɲɔ̀gɔn tɛ́

N'í b'í mùso fɛ̀, sábali ɲɔ̀gɔn tɛ́

Wo! wo! Sábali, sábali, sábali ká ɲì

Cheri, je m'adresse à toi

Avec toi, cheri, la vie est belle

La la la la la la, avec toi, cheri

Wo! wo! la la la la la la, ça c'est pour la vie

Wo! wo! la la la la la la, avec toi cheri

La la la la la la, ça c'est pour la vie

Cheri, je te fais un gros bisou

Ou je ne sais pas

Aaah, cheri, je te fais un gros bisou

Je t'embrasse fort

Je te fais un gros bisou

Je t'embrasse fort

Bye-bye
