Wasis Diop - Jiné Ji

[62MarieAnne]

Juste un regret, la chanson est trop courte

[HugharH]

This is a rough translation of the Japanese part ( it was hard to hear at some places)

Right, left, right, which should (I) choose?

There is a ghost deep in my heart

Yesterday, today, yesterday

Yesterday, today, yesterday

Destiny’s window

Yesterday, today, yesterday

(indistinguishable part) inside (my) heart the phantoms of light and darkness dance

the phantoms of light and darkness dance

[dearmalika]

A great song!

[maty82gueye]

beautiful .......truly

Jinné

The wind has brought me a message

From afar my genie

Here comes my genie

Without you I am so lonely

[johnnyswamper]

The wind has brought me a message from afar

the local guitar player sung a melody

Which can never be forgotten

The family head saw something

As clear as the moon

the wise-man knows

What attraction causes in a heart

My good spirit

I have remained alone

With my thoughts

[johnnyswamper]

And I wonder at this life Jinne, Jinn/spirit, here comes my good spirit Without you I am so lonely In my dream the paradise bird came to me Strange, strange The local guitar starts laughing The squirrel went through the hole To come out again at the door of the world It is known It is recognized The visionary saw it The wind has brought me

"Jiné Ji, is about the demon we have in all of us, a demon we actually come to protect in the end. It's as if we don't want to let our personal demons go because somewhere down the line we think we need them. It's a cover of a song by my fellow countryman El Hadj Ndiaye." "The photo was taken in Senegal. I'm supposed to be in the photo somewhere. The only person I can definitely identify in the picture is my cousin. I don't think I'm in the frame actually. I've sort of dropped off the edge."
