Letra de Anisokoma

[English translation of Bambara lyrics]
Some sound come from afar
Voices of the melodies
Can’t you hear the voices of the chords?
Voices of the chords
Voices of the melodies
Baba can’t you hear the sound?
Can’t you hear the sound of the chords, the world goes beyond infinity
Can’t you hear the voices of the chords?
Death doesn’t spare you for you are courageous
Look at Toumani, the hunter who’s left this world
Voices of the chords
Voices of the melodies
The fauna escaped screaming
The voices of the chords
The voices of the melody resonated
Baba can’t you hear this sound
Djigui, don’t you hear the fauna escaping?
Mamadou, don’t you hear the fauna escaping?
The animals perished when Mamadou came…
Where have the patient hunters gone?
Where have the merciless hunters disappeared to?
Instead of expecting the men in the village, why don’t you wait for him the heart of the forest?
If he doesn’t deliver his heart, he will deliver his faith
Some sounds come from afar
Voices of the melodies
Don’t you hear the voices of the chords?
Don’t you hear the voices of the chords of the Amazones?
Let’s wait patiently, the world whispers on earth but not up above
The sky fills up with the dead— and the earth is empty
Whether you want it or not God is clement
The earth’s creator is clement
Women will tell you, they will say I I have paid my dues and exposed myself to the world
Men will tell you, they will say I I have paid my dues and exposed myself to the world
Musicians will tell you, they will say I have paid my dues and exposed myself to the world
Strong we may stand
Some sounds come from afar
Voices of the melodies
Can’t you hear the voices of the chords?
The camel wants to sit on his lump, however his lump won’t let him
The caiman wants to sit but its tails won’t let him
Some sounds come from afar
The voices of the melodies
Don’t you hear the voices of the melodies of the Amazones?
We women give birth
The rich, the poor, the pacha, the saint
I praise women
Women of the African continent
Women of Europe
