Youssou N’DOUR — Jimi MBAYE

Ah Lola Ah Lola Ah Lola la

Here is the peasant, the most courageous of all man

He harvest corn and millet for our survival

Under the sweltering heat, he is hoping for rain

Bear witness to his courage

Bear witness to his courage

He is looking forward to the seasonal rain

Go to the region of Baol and you’ll know what I mean

Or to the region of Waalo Mbodj

He is in debt when rains are scarce

As sooon as the sky turns cloudy, he hopes for rain

Rain or shine, he has to pay back what he owes

Bear witness to his courage

Bear witness to his courage

How important is Nature ti his life!

That’s the only thing that can soothe his hunger

Lately, he’s had so much in his mind

That he’s been unable to fall asleep

He’s looking forward to the seasonal rain

Go to the region of Shine Saloum

Bear witness to his courage

Bear witness to his courage

Here is the Peasant, the most courageous of all men

He harvest peanuts and bears for our survival

Before the rain, he clears the field and waits

Bear witness to his courage

Bear witness to his courage

If the rainy season has been fruitful, prices go down in Dakar, the capital

However, if the rains are scarce, prices go up

Whatever the situation, it is a painful one

Bear witness to his courage

Bear witness to his courage

He is so desperate

Bear witness to his courage

Bear witness to his courage

He is so desperate
