Le pays va mal
Tiken Jah Fakoly
The Country is in Trouble
{Chorus} :
The country is in trouble
My country is in trouble
My country is in trouble
From bad to worse
My country is in trouble
Before, we didn’t talk about northerners or southerners
But today everything's messed up
The army is divided
The students are divided
Society is divided
Even our mothers at the market are divided
{Chorus}
Before, we didn’t talk about Christians or Muslims
But today they’ve ruined everything
The army is divided
The students are divided
Society is divided
Even our mothers at the market are divided
{Chorus}
We lack remedies
Against injustice, tribalism, xenophobia
After the Ivorian identity
They created the us versus them
{Chorus}
Djamana gnagamou'na
Obafé kan'gnan djamana gnagamou he
Djamana gnagami'na lou ho
Obafé kan'gnan djamana gnagamou
Magô mi ba'fé kagnan djamana gnagamou
Allah ma'ho kili tchi'la
Djamana gnagamou'la lou ho
Djamana gnagamou'la
{Chorus}
