Birima!A day spent in your presenceWas the picture of hospitality!This music was transmitted by the griotsWho painted vivid portraits of the kingdomMbaboor became inextricably linkedTo the history of CajorMost importantly, it forged a new and enduring linkBetween royalty and the common peopleWhere relations had been different beforeAs the classes lived and struggled andCelebrated togetherCommon experience allowed them to identifyWith one anotherAh! Birima!A day spent in your presenceWas the picture of hospitality!--------------------------------Meïssa Tendé Diorya mom woy biMeïssa Tendé Diorya mom woy biMeïssa Tendé Diorya mom li déNé woye Birimafoumou yendou ma yendou fa yendo nané.Woye Birimafoumou yendou ma yendou fa yendo fanane.Goorou Samba Laobé, ya mom woy biBuri Samba Laobé, ya mom woy biBuri Samba Laobé, ya mom li déNé woye Birimafoumou yendou ma yendou fa yendo nané.Woye Birimafoumou yendou ma yendou fa yendo fanane.
