Modern interpretation of the traditional Mande praise song form dedicated to President Barrack Obama
lyrics
(translated from Malinke and Pulaar
(Malinke)
Chorus:
Obama (bis)
You are the pillar of the people
Everybody trusts you
If you are looking for a good man
Obama is not just anybody
A good man is hard to find
Chorus
People, if you want to find someone good
It is Obama that we see
Chorus
Husband of Michelle
Son of Ann
We are searching for good people
Father of Malia
Father of Sasha
The World is looking for good people
If you want to search
Look to find the good people
If you are looking for a great leader
You have to find a good person
If you are looking for someone who will be at the head of the people
You must choose a good person
A person who thinks of the welfare of those below him
Good evening
Good evening Barrack Obama
Good evening to a great among the greats
Manden Djelis wish a good evening to you
Good evening courageous man
Son of Barrack Obama it is you I am calling
You have to listen, you are the lucky charm
Yoooo, it is Barrack Obama I am calling
I pray for you:
It is the will of God
He has created people differently
There are all kinds of people
Some are small, some are tall
Some of them can
And some of them can not
Chorus
Obama, it is you we are calling
... the pillar of the people
Chorus
Relatives, it's not just about people
But finding good people
That is what is difficult
(bis)
(Pulaar:)
America likes Obama
Europe likes Obama
Asia likes Obama
Africa likes Obama
Artists like Obama
The one called "Chinois" loves Obama
The whole World loves Obama
May God help us
And help America
