Olel (the Echo) 歌词

Listen to my voice Echoing in the night Talking with the universe Bringing advice to humanity My friend, respect your word Keep your dignity Try to know your role in society Olel invites the Halpulaar (those who speak Pulaar) And all Africans To unite around the fount of knowledge That is Africa To reflect, like the echo A sense of solidarity Within the family And in the wider community Good or bad What we sow, we reap Like the music of the great Peul festivals Our song carries a prayer That next year's celebrations Will see everyone reunited Reciting the same prayer My heart is full of love for you Political leaders shake hands But do they really want national unity? Children of Senegal Come dance the Yela Hayo! All over Senegal They're dancing the Yela Even the Serers dance the Yela! Senef footballers in France Senes footballers in Senegal Solidarity will win you The African cup in 1992 We don't care where the rain comes from As long as it rains In Senegal In Mali They dance the Yela Yela is a song about love
