[English translation of Bambara lyrics]
Alone in your loneliness
The bird of the forest, you stand alone
In your loneliness
I stand alone
No matter the family surrounding you
You will at times stand lonely
I stand alone
Yes I stand alone
Alone in your loneliness
The bird of the forest, you stand alone
In your loneliness
I stand alone
N’golo Diarra lived a beautiful life
But he no longer live in this world
Alone in your loneliness
The bird of the forest, you stand alone
In your loneliness
I stand alone
Womanhood is sacred…
