This is a wonderful song.I don't understand it, but listen to it over and over again sometimes.Can someone translate it to English for me? The tune and his voice make this song into magic
well, basically this is a love song, and he is saying that he met a girl that he likes and ask her wat her name was, and she responded salimata; then he told her that he likes her and salimata said that she did not like him, so he was hurt and he realized that love was powerful..!!!
Chapeau pour ce jeune senegalais qui est devenu une icone principale de la musique mondiale Moderne. Tous ces commentaires n'arriveront jamais a lui assigne son ossature et son role dans les rouages de l'OMS. Il est tout simplement non seulement genial mais aussi et surement something to crow about= un phenomene musical bien dans son assiette . Bravo, pour cette Masterpiece, avec un special effet pour les amoureux du coin.Lol.
ooooh..... oui moi aussi de meme sa me rapelle bien de mon enfance oui en souvenir des gens avec qui on etais ensemble oui et qui ont sedéé oui que dieu leur benisent tous oui this is life
*1* Translation: Salimata/Sally Early this morning, I met a girl I liked a lot and asked for her name. She told me her name was Sally. And I told her how much I liked her. But she told me she didn't love me. Oh mother, mom my heart is aching. I didn't know love was this powerful. Oh mother, mom I love Sally Salimata, Salimata, Sally you are the one I love Salimata, Salimata, Sally you are the one I want.
cette chanson s'appelle sali mata le nom d'une belle et charmante qu'un garçon aime et la charmante fille l'aime pas et ce garçon reconnait que l'amour est cruelle
When we went to Senegal in the 1980s we met Youssou's manager Badou. My name is sally - they all sang Salimata to me and gave me a treasured cassette with this version on it. We saw Youssou play all night in his Dakar club. One of the best nights of my life. Anyone know if this version is available on CD?
Yougkad. Be cool. Put all the translation free of charge. Ce sont les gnecks qui veulent toujours de l'argent (just kidding). Get us the meaning of these Ouolof (I believe) words so sensitive. Merci d'avance.
It has been almost 15 years since I have been looking for this song. Never heard or found it on none of Youssou's compilation. Thanks for posting. It is one of the greatest song made in Africa. Could someone please translate it?
pay me and then iLL translate it for you, ok the first words for free so you'll see its not a scam, here we go: this morning i met a girl that i like, i asked her her name ... thats it
Sad to hear that you do not know your mother. who raised you? Is she death or what
