about

This is the title track and the first song we wrote together.

lyrics

LOVEISALOVE (English translation)
Bambara transcription is available in CD booklet

THE CHOSEN ONE OF MY HEART
LOVEISALOVE
THE CHOSEN ONE OF MY HEART
THE SOUL OF THE MOTHER
THE CHOSEN ONE OF MY HEART
IS THE PRAISE OF THE PERSON WHO PLEASES ME
KAN, YOU WILL GO BRING ME A DRESS
THIS DRESS I WOULD GIVE TO ELISE MORRIS
KAN, YOU WILL GO BRING ME POETRY
THESE WORDS I WOULD OFFER TO THE BEAUTIFUL ELISE
I SAY KAN, YOU GO BRING ME A DRESS
BABA, PLEASE DON'T SCOLD ME IN FRONT OF PEOPLE
I DON'T LIKE IT
IT HINDERS THE DESIRE THAT I FEEL


I THINK OF BOTH OF US
OF OUR TALKS IN THE NIGHT
I THINK OF OUR EVENING TALKS
GIVE ME YOUR PICTURE
I WILL GIVE YOU MY PICTURE
TO EACH, HIS OR HER SOUL MATE
IF IT DOESN’T PLEASE SOMEONE
COVER THEIR EARS.

DARK COMPLEXIONS, LIGHT COMPLEXIONS
THERE'S A LADY AMONG THE MASSES.
IF I DON'T SEE HER I WILL NEVER BETRAY YOU
THE HOLDER OF THE GOLD CHAIN
THE HOLDER OF THE SILVER CHAIN
THERE ARE CERTAIN WOMEN THAT MUST NOT BE SEEN
AND I WILL NEVER BETRAY YOU

GIVE ME YOUR PICTURE
I WILL GIVE YOU MY PICTURE
TO EACH, HIS OR HER SOUL MATE
IF IT DOESN’T PLEASE SOMEONE
COVER THEIR EARS
