Non à l'excision - Tiken Jah Fakoly

Elles sont venue, les femmes, avec un grand couteau.

Elle a bien crue qu’elle allai y laisser sa peau

Et puis ce matin, il a fallu qu’elles entrent,

Couper une fleur cachée sous son ventre.

Non a l’excision, Je dis non a l’excision.

Ne les touchez plus, elles ont assez souffert

Un homme essuie son ventre, son corps ne repond même pas

Elle voulais bien qu’il entre mais elle ne le sens même

Il est juste la, juste la pour semer sa graine

Mais ce champ qu’il labour est une bien triste plaine

Non a l’excision, Je dis non a l’excision.

Ne les touchez plus, elles ont assez souffert

Non a l’excision, Je dis non a l’excision.

Ne les touchez plus, elles ont assez souffert

On lui a coupé la peau, peut etre qu’ils la vendent

Comme une morceau de viande, un si petit morceau.

On lui a coupé la peau, juste une bout de son corps.

Ils ont pris dans son île, le plus beau des trésors

Non a l’excision, Je dis non a l’excision.

Ne les touchez plus, elles ont assez souffert

Non a l’excision, Je dis non non non a l’excision.

Ne les touchez plus, elles ont assez souffert

Non a l’excision, non a l’excision.

Ne les touchez plus, elles ont assez souffert

They came, the women, with a big knife.

She thought she was going to leave her skin there

And then this morning they had to come in,

Cut a hidden flower under its belly.

No to female circumcision, I say no to female circumcision.

Don't touch them anymore, they've suffered enough

A man wipes his stomach, his body doesn't even respond

She wanted him to come in but she didn't even feel it

He's just there, just there to sow his seed

But this field he plows is a very sad plain

No to female circumcision, I say no to female circumcision.

Don't touch them anymore, they've suffered enough

No to female circumcision, I say no to female circumcision.

Don't touch them anymore, they've suffered enough

Got his skin cut off, maybe they're selling it

Like a piece of meat, such a small piece.

They cut off his skin, just a piece of his body.

They took from his island, the finest of treasures

No to female circumcision, I say no to female circumcision.

Don't touch them anymore, they've suffered enough

No to female circumcision, I say no no no to female circumcision.

Don't touch them anymore, they've suffered enough

No to excision, no to excision.

Don't touch them anymore, they've suffered enough
