Nagadef je suis Mamadou
I love Africa
But IÂ’m leaving her
Tomorrow morning
The way is hard
Many people drown
Off the pirouge
To Barcelona
We Wanna make good money
Bring it back
And Live a good life
Here with our family
And my mother is crying
But like 50 Cent
I’m gonna “get rich
Or die tryin”

‘Cos it’s my last night in Dakar
ItÂ’s my last night in Dakar
Ooooooooh
ItÂ’s my last night in Dakar
ooooooooh

And I think of Miriam
SheÂ’s my dancing Queen
But now IÂ’ll only get to see he
In my Dreams
And I love my friends,
Titi, Iebe and Onzuo,
If I get back theyÂ’ll say
“hey Mamadou
YouÂ’re such a big man
You made such a living
And now you can spend
Your whole life giving”

HEY! HEY!
Hold me, ‘cos I’m going out to sea
Hold me, ‘cos I’m scared as I can be…
