Manitoumani (feat. Lamomali, Sidiki Diabaté, Toumani Diabaté)

I hear in your kora sometimes even your anger
I hear in your kora your heart beating, my brother
Toumani Diabaté
I hear in your kora all the humility
Vertically in the vastness
Toumani Diabaté

Manitoumani, Manitoumani, Manitoumani, Manitoumani, Manitoumani

I hear in your kora the child going to war
I hear in your kora your heart beating, my brother
Toumani Diabaté
Even if I also hear the storm moving away
Our calmed intoxications, limitless life
Toumani Diabaté
Beyond the disasters of our biographies
Above the walls of our fake lives

Manitoumani, Ayé bémbé kadi lé
Manitoumani, Ayé bémbé kadi lé
Manitoumani
Toumani Diabaté
Toumani yé, Baraka
Toumani yé, Baraka
Toumani yé, Baraka

Beyond the disasters of our biographies
Above the walls of our fake lives
Manitoumani, Manitoumani
Wanting to change the world
It's the world that changed it
Toumani Diabaté
