This song is great! Does anyone know the lyrics? Could anyone write them down?.. And a hint about its meaning would be great!

I couldn't tell you what the lyrics are, specifically, but basically they are about openness to others' religious viewpoints, and respecting religious leaders. "Serigne" is a common first name in Senegal but originally was designated for religious leaders called Marabouts. Hope this helps.

I was surprised to read the lyrics of this song originally. If you really want to chase them down, I am fairly certain the english translation of them is printed on the inside of the CD cover and have the meaning Wadoma said, about religious tolerance and openness.
