🎤 LYRICS
(Intro – percussions sabar, cuivres éclatants, voix masculine)
Yéyé nii la! Afrik laa!
(We are worthy! We are Africa!)
Stand tall, my people, the drum never die.
(Couplet 1)
Dafa ne, dégg naa,
(They said, I heard,)
“Forget your tongue, dress like them.”
But the river no fit change direction,
Our roots deep pass illusion.
Fela don talk am, Miriam don sing,
We get blood of lions, fire within.
We bend but we never break,
Even when the world dey shake.
(Refrain)
Yéyé nii la! Afrik laa!
Bul fekh sa bopp, sa rew moo am doole!
(Be proud, your land has power!)
Yéyé nii la, Yéyé nii la!
(Couplet 2)
From Dakar to Soweto,
From Lagos to Bamako,
The drum talk one language,
Freedom be the message.
Jàmm ak xol, peace with pride,
Our story no dey hide.
If we dance, we remember,
If we sing, we surrender to truth.
(Pont – sax et chœurs féminins montent)
We rise, we speak, we shine,
Our skin is gold, our rhythm divine.
(Refrain final)
Yéyé nii la! Afrik laa!
Bul fekh sa bopp, sa rew moo am doole!
We are worthy! Africa stand tall!
(Outro – percussions sabar + fanfare, fade sur “Afrik laa… Yéyé nii la…”)
