[Bambara] Love Me Slowly

Lyrics

[Intro]  
Ko nyogon... ka hakili kɛ.

[Verse 1]  
N bɛ se don kɛrɛ, a bɛ ta don,  
N bɛ fo kɛnɛ—n bɛ fɔ kɛnɛ.  
Ala ka dɔrɔn, ka hakili sɔrɔ,  
Ka jɛman ma san a kɛlɛ.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Sisan sisan, n bɛ nafa—  
N bɛ sɔrɔ i.

[Chorus]  
N bɛ kɛ sisan, ka fɛn dɔ,  
Ka cɛkɔrɔ ka wuli ni kɛnɛ.  
Ala ta don, ala jɛman don—  
N bɛ kɛ sisan... ka kɛnɛ.

[Verse 2]  
Dɔrɔn dɔrɔn, ka jɔ tɔ,  
Dɔrɔn dɔrɔn, ka tile sɔrɔ.  
N ka cɛkɔrɔ, a bɛ don,  
Ala sisan, ka kɛnɛ sɔrɔ.

[Chorus]  
N bɛ kɛ sisan, ka fɛn dɔ,  
Ka cɛkɔrɔ ka wuli ni kɛnɛ.  
Ala ta don, ala jɛman don—  
N bɛ kɛ sisan... ka kɛnɛ.

[Outro]  
Sisan ye kɔnɔ kɛ.
