Mariama(The Turtle dove)
Youssou N'dour Song Lyrics
Ah little pigeon Thank you Mariama Diallo, Diallo Dieri Nimma Mariama Mariama, namesake of Mariama the golden pigeon Mariama Sola Mariama the perfect mother Mariama the ideal woman Mariama a true sister Turtle Dove, Mariama Diallo Dieri Mariama, a real beauty Mariama's neck is long and graceful Mariama's countenance is beautiful Mariama smile a little And I will reward you Look! you are the moon among the stars Look! you are a light in the darkness My turtle dove You stand out from the other women Like a white crested heron among birds Ah my turtle dove Thank you, Diallo Dieri She doesn't tease She bears no ill will Nor even hints at it Diallo the Peul Yes Mariama Diallo Dieri Nimma Dark as ebony Daughter of God Diallo Dieri Mariama looks after her family so well Mariama cares for all her husband's needs Oh Mariama It's time now to see to your neighbors For you are well known for that Diallo Dieri Mariama the perfect mother Mariama the ideal woman |
