lyrics

KONOTANE (English translation)
Pulaar (Fulah) transcription is available in CD booklet

I SAY THE WORLD IS SORRY
AND SO IT IS
GOD MADE THE SKY
AND THE EARTH
AS WELL AS THE SUN
THIS IS THE WAY IT IS
I SWEAR IT IS SO
I SAY IT’S SO AND IT’S SO
IT IS SO
THIS IS THE WAY IT IS
SO IT IS
THE WAY OF THE WORLD
SUCH A PITY
THIS IS HOW IT IS
