Lyrics :

(English translation)
Synopsis:
No matter who you are or what you do, anything that happens in your life is down to fate. Each one of us has path which they follow. People should accept it and not blame you or judge you for who you are and what you do with your life. We tend to spend a lot of time and energy being fussy about petty stuff which can ruin relationships between siblings. Fanta and Bourama both left without saying goodbye, but they do not understand why this should be a reason to be crossed with them. While there are more important things in life to be concerned about.

Translation:  Dakan = Fate

Solomani, solomani’s own daughter is here
Father
Jabar, Jabar’s own daughter is here
Aah aaah, that’s life

Think, think, think again, I’m here to stay
Think, think, think again, you have to accept it

Think, think, think again, I’m here to stay
Think, think, think again, you have to accept it

Those who are working, that’s their fate
Those who are having fun, that’s their fate
Those who are laughing, that’s their fate
Those who are partying, that’s their fate
I am singing, that’s my fate
The fun I am having, that’s my fate
The work I am doing, that’s my fate
The travelling that I do, that’s my fate

Mother, mother
Mother, mother
Think, think, think again, you will have to accept it
Nanananana, that’s fate
Think, think, think again, you will have to accept it
Nanananana, that’s fate
Think, think, think again, you will have to accept it
Nanananana, that’s fate

Ayiyaa heeeee
Ayeeeee aaahaaaa
Ayeeeee aaahaaaa

Bourama left to go far away
And he did not inform his siblings
Stop being so fussy about it
That’s no valid reason to be cross with someone
Diawara Fanta left to go far away
And she did not inform her siblings
Stop being so fussy about it
That’s no reason,no reason, no reason
That’s no valid reason to be cross with someone

Ahahahaaaaa (Ahahahaaaaa)
Ha haha, ha haha
Ha haha, ha haha
(Please come)
Ha haha, ha haha
(Please come)
Haaaaaaaaa
