Youssou N'Dour - Birima songtekst

Je score:






He assumed the throne of Cajor

And became well-known for his festive reign

Where every occasion was reason for

Celebration in great style

Having inherited a rich oral tradition

He encouraged local musicians

And his patronage gave rise to the flourishing of

The music known as mbaboor

Ah! Birima!

A day spent in your presence

Was the picture of hospitality!

This music was transmitted by the griots

Who painted vivid portraits of the kingdom

Mbaboor became inextricably linked

To the history of Cajor

Most importantly, it forged a new and enduring link

Between royalty and the common people

Where relations had been different before

As the classes lived and struggled and

Celebrated together

Common experience allowed them to identify

With one another

Ah! Birima!

A day spent in your presence

Was the picture of hospitalit
