[Kimi Djabaté & Madonna]
Sometimes
Dia a ca du niedda
A ca say adda
Ava lorda
Acagivoda
Aleme uomo ta
Maniman ca l’uomo ta
E mugugnà
Elegno attento
Alla ca du niedda
A ca say adda
Ca duvuta
[Madonna]
Sometimes I despair
Sometimes I have hope
Sometimes I don't know
Sometimes I feel pushed
[Kimi Djabaté, Madonna]
Bella, ciao

Y cada vosa mammai
Tu mama leyea
Entemille defeo
Y li dijo
Y cada vosa mammai
A le nea filha
Y cada vosa mammai
A le nea filha
[Madonna]
Have you ever been to the land where you can find yourself?
Have you ever been to a place where you can rest yourself?
All the noise just disappears, rain will wash away the sadness
All our lives we work in vain, for a little touch of grace
[Drop: Kimi Djabaté & Madonna]
Bella, ciao
A le nea filha
Y cada vosa mammai
A le nea filha
Y cada vosa mammai
O molu molu Allah
Y baca comu al modo mie

Vade malumi
O molu Allah
Cume y cume ye
Coma afora Allah
Y cada vosa mammai
Y cada selemugna
Y cada vosa mammai
[Madonna]
Sometimes I despair
Sometimes I have hope
Sometimes I don't know
Sometimes I feel happy
[Kimi Djabaté & Madonna]

In battalla Africa
In batalla
Lecciava a se de se
[Madonna]
