| One
day I went out. . .
One day I went out on adventure
I learned a lot of things
I learned that in adventure , there was famine and nastiness
chorus: wander in the town, wander in the country
In adventure , you can meet good and bad people
May God saves us
In adventure, you see things you have never seen before
Brother! brother! the people you see are bandits
The world has changed! God is Almighty!
Mamoutou , I went in a very rich country, but there were no peace nor
pity there
Even if you don't win money in adventure , you learn a lot
When you leave your country for another, if you don't win a fortune,
go back quickly at home
Mamoutou, if your destiny is to be rich, you'll be
Brotherhood are thins of the fate. |

Mother
Awa
He! our father Adama and our mother Awa (Adam and Eve)
Oh! Awa, I like you with your neck like the one of o water bottle. . .
Mother Awa, patience is one of the qualities of woman
Mother Awa, wedding is woman honor
Mother Awa, tolerance is one of the qualities of woman
Mother Awa, every body has his fate in this world
Mother Awa, with your eyes like polar stars, I love you
Adama Yalomba , you're right ,
Son of Samandji, you're right
Son of mother Kadidia, you're right
Grandson of Séridjan de Kotoumou, you're right
The Bamanan language has no secrets for you.
Mother Awa, never accept this:
- to nag your husband, is not worthy of a good woman
- to get angry with your husband is not responsible either
My friends women, be faithful to your men
My friends men, let's be serious with woman
That's what God wants
Mother Awa, ,be a sewing needle to unite relatives
Mother Awa, be patient ,indisputable quality of woman
Mother Awa, you must unite brothers
Mother Awa, you must unite husband and wive
Oh! Mother Awa, with your eyes like polar stars, I love you
The Diabaté woman... |

Samandji |
| My
compatriots , the band Samandji is here
we are here with our good music
Today is a great day
When two crushers hide her armpit to each other, the corn will never
well crushed.
When there's no frankness between two collaborators , the work will
never be done easily
The band Samandji greet you with his good initiative
The band Samandji expresses all his gratitude to Mangara, Logobé, Djadjé
and Daramani
Let's work hard to get success and prosperity
When the instrument are tuned, the music is good, but understanding
between men is better. |

A
thought
I have a deep concern about the deprived, the poor , the orphans
Nothing lasts for ever on earth, any living creature will pass away one
day.
That is the reason why I have a deep concern.
Once upon a time, there was a fabulous rich man, solidarity, and mutual
aid had no meaning for him.
He looked down on other people.
He had forgotten that the only power is that of the Almighty God
He had an unhappy end.
May God protect us from a cruel destiny.
Oh, Clement God, shed light on our path
Were I to choose between wealth and dignity,
I will go for dignity When you 're a rich guy, be humble
When you 're a rich guy, you should help the deprived, the poor, the sick
and the orphans
Wealth can 't be limited to power and money only,
Generosity is an arm which allow to jump over alI the hurdles of life.
Oh! God, lead us on to the right path, inspire us the virtue of life
Which are tolerance, mutual aid, and generosity.
Let 's think about our destiny, and settle our disputes through dialogue
Let 's study, for studying is the only vector of development
Let 's struggle to overcome the defaults of our community. |

My
Country
Oh! God! my country is good
When I say my country is good, it means that there is pity in Mali
My country is full of pity and tolerance
My country is a welcoming country
At home, in Africa, welcome to Mali
My country is so good, I will not go somewhere else
I will not go somewhere else, there is good joking between cousins
I stay here. There's brotherhood between every body , I ' ll go no where
else
There's "come to eat" sharing out here, I ' ll go no where else
Here is good , the country of brotherhood
If you see someone picking up an empty bag
If he doesn't fill it, he'll tear it
May God makes us all in relation with useful ,people
If you are looking for a beautiful woman, come in Mali
Our woman are all beautiful , our woman are all charming |

Word
Comrades, listen to what I 'm going to tell you
As long as word will exist, song will not disappear and the Bamanan language
is inexhaustible
God keeps us from poverty!
As long as poverty will exist , robbery will never disappear
If you want to understand life, confide yourself in God!
You won't be disappointed , life goes like that
Anything you do in life, do it right
If you can't do it right,give up in time
My brother, let's be serious in anything we do to express our nobility
It's that serious that made the ease of Moussa Doumbia in Bougouni!
Ball, the son of Ladjiblé and of the women Diallo and Traoré
Working made the prosperity of Moussa |

My
hand is in his mouth
My hand is in his mouth, the thoughtless keep my hand in his mouth
My hand is in his mouth, we have our hands in the mouth of the thoughtless
He's holding your hand, he's holding my hand
They've got their hands in the mouth of the thoughtless
They don't want the secret to be discovered
They don't want some things to be brought to light
We have found ourselves again
They know that if we discover the secret , we'll pass them
They mix and shatter every thing up
They put us in conflict in order to slow down our success
All that must be forgotten , times have changed
We must patch things up and build up our countries
The country can't be build without dietary "autosuffisance"
Let's dig irrigation canals every where in Mali in order to cultivate
all year long
Our trees are shady
Our fields' trees are shady, very shady
Kotoumou's trees are shady _ very shady
Kenièba's trees are shady
Soloba's trees are shady
Africa's trees are shady
Mali's trees are shady
our , trees are shady , very shady |

Money
There's money in Bamako but idle don't know where to find it
There's money in Bamako but lazy persons haven't got their parts in it.
There's money in Bamako but the idle will never it.
You must work hard
Without work , there's no money
Without work , there's no development
Working is liberty , you must work hard
Farmer, work hard, you will gain benefit from it
Trader, work hard, it's in your interest
Fisherman, fish! you will gain benefit from it
Cattle farmer, it's in your interest
Farmer, cultivate your lands
The CMDT recognizes you place in the national construction
I say it and repeat it
Money's only for workers,
Money's only for workers. |
