what kind of plucked string instrument does the guy in the background play? it looks similar to a violin? - great music by the way :) i ve bought a cd in Lublin on jarmark jagellonski and there was exactly this song among other songs and artists! greetings from germany
(i translate ) "...es verdad que la fuerza està en ser unidos, gracias mi amor por estar a mi lado a pesar de todo. solo un recuerdo lejano queda, de mi soledad y mis miedos. ahora me siento fuerte con tu apoyo. tu presencia me vuelve radiante.
(estas son algunos de los versos de esta bellisima y conmovente cancion.El resto del texto en la caratula del CD).
thank you very much for sharing this....one of the most beautiful song i had ever hear..!..bless.
She has an amazing voice and very commanding presence in performance. It takes a special kind of woman to look good with a shaved head. She has to know who she is and why she is there and have something to say. I can't understand a word of it, but it is clear that people are listening and feeling what she is singing. Sheer beauty.
Without question the highest emanation of Islamic culture in sub-Sharan Africa is in the Mali-Senegal-Burkina Faso axis. Yet so total is the integration of Islamic culture -- its finest artistic merits in fact -- into the traditional cultures of those areas we hardly ever think "Islam" when receiving their cultural output. Music is one fine example; the overpowering poetry of delivery in all the genres is Islamic, their blues roots are wholesale African. I'm proud to be from West Africa!
How can one deny the beauty of this artist's music - she has one of the loveliest voices and understanding of negative space in compositions. Her voice and her presence is radiant! Thank you Rokia Traore, thank you.

I think that if I listen to her more, I am going to fall in love with her music, and the essence of her in general.
She is simply amazing.
Her music moves me, even though I have no idea about the lyrics. But it doesn`t matter.

The title means "Love" so by the title, we can say that the song is about love. Also check some of the translation of the lyrics posted by amariyam.
