Actually, "sabari" is not the name of the General Officer... It means "mercy". The song is about someone being beaten up by a police officer and crying for mercy.
Come to Australia again please. Seen Alpha in Sydney twice and along with Burning Spear have been the greatest concerts that I have had the pleasure of seeing. Always good to hear good Reggae!!!
@dadiederik you welcome bro. love to share knowledgement on reggae - so misplaced today - forgotten my mainstream. i dont care. we love it sameways, dont we?
oh wonderful. thank you for helping out. please notice that you can watch the video with 3 differents languages...english, brazils portuguese and DJOULA/BAMBARA (youtube listed as africaaner)
ah bambara and dioula are spoken in ivory coast and mali and perhaps other west african countries, but i got some ivorian friends who speak both dioula and bambara !!!! where r u from ???
friend, i am from BRAZIL, and i am a reggae percussionist, sax and trumpetist.
i play only reggae wich is my passion.
i would love to contact any of your friends that speak bambara/djoula, in order to translate couple songs of alpha blondy wich i still miss the translation!
can you help me making the contact with them, possible?
my friends who speak bambara and dioula are not on utube, unfortunately but i can ask some african i got on utube if they could do it or ask any of their friends if u like, i can do this for u, my bf speaks portuguese too, he's angolese but he lives in belgium now , he speaks portuguese and french and lingala (which is spoken in a great part of congo and angola)
Yes I watched the subtitles, wonderful. At last understand what this song means. I did not know about the optional caption function and it is very useful. Thanks again partner. See you around.
where are the subtitiles?

I would translate "Neko Ouch Ouch Ouch" and "I said, ay ay ay" and and "Brigadier Sabari" and "mercy Official".
would be great to get an official translation. to better understand what he meant.

Your friends that speak djoula/bambara THEY DONT NEED to be on youtube to help.
Email or MSN is needed ONLY!
i send to you or them the original lyrics of alpha in dialect and they reply back with translation to english...and then,,,,i publish in youtube!
so no need youtube account for them, the native speakers of djoula!
