Youssou N'Dour - Nothing's In Vain (Coono du réér)

So Many Men

I feel like a bird today
I'm gonna show you, I'm gonna make it
Set me free

C'est un jour qui se lève sur si peu de liberté
Damay daw wuti làqukaay wuti fa liberté
Tant de gestes pareils, sans cesse recommencés
Daw naa làqu ngir nekk man wuti fa liberté
So many men...
Look this way
So many people
There's so much to do and so much to give today
So many men...
Something new...
So many people
There's so much to see if only they'd look this way

Garder les yeux ouverts sans voir de liberté
Dawa dawa dawa dawa ba génn
Wuutu leneen li gën ci man

N'en faire jamais assez
Serait-ce trop pour essai,
Juste un peu de liberté?

Jééma xam li wawral lii, fii daal lu ko fi jar,
Ban couleur, ban gént la

So many men...
Look this way
So many people
There's so much to do and so much to give today

So many men...
Is Something new?
So many people
So much to see today
so many men...

Look this way
I fell like a bird today
There's so much to give and so much to do today
I'm gonna show you, I'm gonna make it
Set me free
So many men
Will it change?
so many poeple
Just open your eyes
so many trials, so many
Places...
Set me free
I fell like a bird today
I'm gonna show you, I'm gonna make it
Set me free
Just open your eyes, turn around, look this way
turn around, look this way...
