Verse 1 Dafa may dayoor ci bopp, sama yoon wéet, Ñu may sama ndaw, ñu may sama wopp, Dolli ci yoonu jàng, dooru kër ak suuf, Ba ca laaj, ba ca njariñ, sama xol dañu wut. Chorus Sama yoon, sama kër, dafa jëm ci way, Xam naa sa baat, xam naa sa bopp, Nopp naa sama waxtaan, nopp naa sama xol, Sama yoon, sama kër, ba beneen yoon. Verse 2 Ñu lekk ci bawwu kër, ñu jël ba ca dal, Ñu génn ci teleef, ñu gis waa keremal, Dolli ndax xarit, dolli ndax yar, Yoonu dëkk ak jàmm, dina lañu wax. Chorus Sama yoon, sama kër, dafa jëm ci way, Xam naa sa baat, xam naa sa bopp, Nopp naa sama waxtaan, nopp naa sama xol, Sama yoon, sama kër, ba beneen yoon. Bridge (French) Je porte la maison dans ma voix, Les chemins me rappellent ton nom, Chaque pas écrit une histoire, Chaque nuit allume un souvenir. Chorus (soft) Sama yoon, sama kër, dafa jëm ci way, Xam naa sa baat, xam naa sa bopp, Nopp naa sama waxtaan, nopp naa sama xol, Sama yoon, sama kër, ba beneen yoon.
