Son regard azeviche plein de rire
Cache les larmes qu'elle n'a pas versée
Et ses lévres taisent les souvenir
Des mots dunne histoire
Qui la blessé
Cachér ne pas pleurer
Garder, souvenir
Elle lis dans les âmes e les gri-gris
Pour chercher l'avenir dans son passé
Elle joue du tam-tam toute la nuit
Pour que as memoire reste eveillé
Chercher dans le passé
Trouver un avenir
Toute la nuit
Pour jouer toute as vie
Yá África, yá África Yá África, yá África, yá África
Luanda, Senegal, Congo Benin,
Costa de Marfim Nigéria Brasil
Elle chante I'espoir pour oublier
La desesperance de as vie
Les voyages forcés que l'ont mené
Vers d'autres rivages d'autres pays
Yá yá yá yá yá - bis
Ses bracelets en or sur ses poigné
Chache les marques d'2une blessure ancienne
Qui ne feras jamais oublier
Qui l'esclave d'antan est une reine.
