Y kana la oh la
Y kana la oh la
Tu m'as manquer mon amour (x2)

Tu m'as manquer mon amour
Don't believe in that
Don't believe in that
I missed you my love (x2)
Me and love got up to go travel
We got to Ouagadougou
The sun went down
So we went out
So we could take a walk
We got there
To the nightclub
We got there
Someone saw my love
And fell for her
I told my love
Don't accept
Don't believe it
Don't believe that
Don't believe that
Don't believe people today
Don't believe what they say
Me and my love got up to travel
We got to Senegal
We got to Dakar
In front of the ocean
In the capital
Someone saw my love
Someone with power
Someone told my love
Let's go to near the water
There's good food to eat there
I told my love
Don't accept it
Don't believe what they say
Don't fall for that
Don't fall for that
Don't fall for those people
Don't fall for that kind of person
