N daga an kara

Lyrics Traditional Mali Song Music arrangements by Paul Mindy
Performers Sylla Mama, Mama Silamara

I went to your house but you weren’t there
Your children were eating couscous with curdled milk
I told them to give me some, but they refused
I beat them, they beat me
I wept, they wept
And pit-a-pat, the fat cat! In and out, the little mouse!
Guili, guili, Samba, guili, guili!
