lyrics:
Attaya

Why not sit down, have some tea
Three times I' ll add water
Till sugar is gone and foam will come
Attaya my brother

Lead me through your garden green
Papaya banana
Water flows as river grows
Africa is your mother

Jang jang buree, I am on my way
Basse ,Velinggara
Koundara attaya, for you and for me
It is my way to Konakry

Labe, a long way
Missed the mademoiselle de Mali
Saw the man with the hand
Fingers up to Bali!

Dalaba , ong djarama
Tana matalé
Attaya, let's have some tea
It is my way to Konakry
