Lyrics - Sango
(folk song from the Central African Republic)
Awe bebëe, Awe bebëe,
Mamâ ague na ngû
Tî tö ngû, fadë lo ‘ke gä
Mbä tî mo bebëe apîka mo
Sï mo tot sô, toto äpë o!
Awe bebëe, Awe bebëe,
Mamâ ague na ngû
Tî tö ngû, fadë lo ‘ke gä
Mbä tî mo bebëe apîka mo
English Translation - It's over, baby
It’s over, baby!
Mom went to the river
To draw water from it,
It was a baby, a baby like you, who hit you.
That’s why you’re crying. Don’t cry, my heart!
It’s over, baby!
Mom went to the river
To draw water from it,
It was a baby, a baby like you, who hit you.
