Baaba Maal - Olel The Echo lyrics

rate me

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<br />

<br />
