Translation
Nagniouma
Go with him
Go accompany, my sister
Because each of us
Follows their destiny
I tell you dear friends
Dear friends, dear friends
Dear parents...
Brothers and sisters
Everything in its time in life
Oh God
Nagniouma
Nagniouma
Today we
Will be separated
Because you're getting married
Nagniouma
I remember as children
When we were doing stupid things
We were complicit
In dealing with mom
In this way we avoided the trickery
The remonstrances
And all the anger
We were successful at the BEPC
We passed the BEPC
It was
A beautiful party,
We did the baccalaureate
Our success in the baccalaureate
Has resulted in
An even more festive ceremony
Then one day
My mother called me
To tell me that my sister will marry
The following Thursday
Yes she will marry
Then I looked at Nagniouma
Then I looked at Nagniouma
And our eyes met, she was only smiling.
Yé lé lé... Wouo oh... uuuhh
With whom am I going to talk like you
Oh God
Since I have no
More confidante
Na Nagniouma, Na... Nagniouma
Na lé Nagniouma ho
Oh your life as a beautiful young lady is finished
You are in the role of a housewife which fits you well.
Na Nagniouma, Na... Nagniouma
Nalé Nagniouma hooo
Finish the girl's life
And the lady's dress suits you perfectly
God is my witness héé ehé héé... oooohooo
Yeah hi yeah hi yeah yéé éhé
Know that in this life
Know that in this life
Everything comes
In its time
Neither me,
Nobody can do anything about it
Know that in this life
Know that in this life
Everything comes
In its time
Neither me,
Nobody can do anything about it
Go with him... go with the child
Go with him... go with the bride
When the time has come, no one can change it
The time has come, no one can change it
Go with him... go with the child
Go with him... go with the bride
Thanks! ❤ | ||
