hamady boiro (yelle) lyrics
(yelle)

[singer 1]
remember, every sound that you hear is an african beat, and this is the sounds of africa

this music come from the senegal area
it’s the sound, it’s the music of west africa
now listen to the rhythm, listen to the singer
are you listening?

well, it’s a one called yelle
the ancient african music called yelle
senegalese music called yelle
the ancient african music called yelle
senegalese music called yelle

when you hear the yelle, you might say eh+eh
listen how the yelle sound a lot like reggae
you know some connection must have been given
baaba maal!

[baaba maal sings in fulani]

[singer 1]
here we now!
the ancient african music called yelle
senegalese music called yelle
the ancient african music called yelle
senegalese music called yelle
senegal is a country in west africa
between the gambia and mauritania
in the past it was used by the slave trader
to buy and sell people like a secondhand car
from gorée island near to dakar
millions of blacks sent from africa
[?] sent to america
some of them ones they couldn’t manage sent to jamaica
now listen how the music have a reggae flavour
a song bob marley would be proud of
and if you [?] senegal, sistah

[baaba maal sings in fulani]

[singer 1]
watch we now!
the ancient african music called yelle
senegalese music called yelle
the ancient african music called yelle
senegalese music called yelle

here’s a little senegalese information
dakar is the capital of the nation
population around six million
about the size of england or scotland
specifically, colonization
colonization by the frenchman
1960 independence come
three hundred years of revolution
whether you’re jamaican or england
freedom of an american or you’re african
could be a j+panese or australian
everybody from iraq to the yelle pagan
original african
this is yelle
the ancient african music called yelle
senegalese music called yelle
the ancient african music called yelle
senegalese music called yelle
