Kouma ( La Parole traduction française)
Les griots relatent, poètes sont les founès, les artistes créent.
Aujourd'hui, nous devrions tous avoir droit à la parole

Tu n'a pas parlé au moment de parler,
Maintenant que tout va mal, que tu parle
Tu ne t'es pas levé au bon moment
Maintenant tout vas en quenouille, que tu te lève
N'as tu pas entendu que la parole n'est pas veine? EH EH EH EH!
Ne soit pas, celui qui doit se contenter d'écouter
N'avez vous pas entendu que, la parole n'est pas veine? EH EH EH EH!
Ne fais pas en sorte que celui qui devrait parler ne se contente que d'écouter

Parle, parle, la parole n'est jamais vaine
Parle, parle, la parole n'est jamais vaine, wrakibiba!

Avant de se faire la guerre pourquoi n'avions-nous pas dialogué?
Au lieu de se faire honte pourquoi n'avions-nous pas dialogué?
Seule la paix ressortira du dialogue..
Il est temps de donner la parole aux jeunes
Il est temps de donner la parole aux femmes, ah! ah !ha!
C'est à partir de cela que la vie de la Cité sera belle
N'avez vous pas pas entendu que la parole n'est pas veine? EH EH EH EH!
Ne soit pas, celui qui doit se contenter d'écouter
N'avez vous pas entendu que la parole n'est pas veine? EH EH EH EH!
Ne fais pas en sorte que celui qui devrait parler ne se contente que d'écouter

Parle, parle, la parole n'est jamais vaine
Parle, parle, la parole n'est jamais vaine, wrakibiba eh!

Aujourd'hui, nous devrions tous avoir droit à la parole

Parle, parle, la parole n'est jamais vaine
Parle, parle, la parole n'est jamais vaine

Kouma ( the word )
The griots tell, the poets are founès, the artists create.
Today, no matter if we are poor or rich, we have the right to speak

You did not speak up when the time was right
Now that the time is no longer right, you're talking
You did not stand up when the time was right
Now that everything's going wrong, youshould speak
Hadn't you heard that every voice counts ? Eh ! Eh ! Eh ! Eh !
We all have the right to speak, don't make us only listen !
Didn't you know that every voice counts ? Eh ! Eh ! Eh ! Eh !
We all have the right to speak, don't make us only listen !

Speak up ! Speak up ! You will not speak in vain.
Speak up, speak up ! Your voice is never in vain, wrakibiba !

Why don't we talk things over before drawing our weapons ?
Why prefer shame and pain to dialogue ?
Dialogue can only generate peace
It is time to let the new generation speak up
It is time to hear what women have to say, ah ! ah ! ah !
When every voice is heard, then life here on earth will be beautiful
Haven't you heard that every voice counts ? Eh ! Eh ! Eh !
We all have the right to speak, , don't make us only listen !
Didn't you know that every voice counts ? Eh ! Eh ! Eh ! Eh !
We all have the right to speak, don't make us only listen !

Speak up ! Speak up ! You will not speak in vain.
Speak up, speak up ! Your voice is never vain, wrakibiba !

No matter if you are rich or poor
Today we all have the right to speak up
If you'd been more eloquent, maybe no one would have told you to shut up
If you had been more fair-minded, and sometimes kept your tongue
Maybe people would trust you more
Speak up, speak up, you will not speak in vain
Speak up, speak up, you will not speak in vain
