Batoma
Amadou And Mariam

Batoma hé dén bê kassi la.

Na dén mina.


On chante.

On danse.

On se remue.

On bouge.

Moi, je m'en fou!


Batoma, ton bébé pleure, Batoma.

Batoma, tout le monde te demande, Batoma.

Batoma, tout le monde t'appelle, Batoma.

Batoma, ton bébé pleure, Batoma.

Moi, je m'en fou.


Ni dén bê kassi

Ni né Fatoma bê kassi

Sin do a da.

Ni né Batoma bê kassi

Sin da a da.

Bournakê toma ni o bê kassila.

Sin do a da.

Bagayoko toma ni o bê kassi la.

Sin do a da.

Né toma ni o bê kassi la

Sin do a da.


On chante.

On danse.

On se remue.

On bouge.

Moi, je m'en fou!


Mô kê toma a to ka kassi ka dafara.

Moi, je m'en fou!

Moi, je m'en fou!


Batoma hé dén bê kassi la.

On se remue.

On bouge.

Moi, je m'en fou!

Batoma, your child is crying

Come take him


We sing.

We dance.

We shake.

We get a move on.

Me, I don’t give a damn!


[Repeat Chorus:]


Batoma, your baby cries, Batoma

Batoma, everyone asks you, Batoma

Batoma, everyone calls you, Batoma

Batoma, your baby cries, Batoma

Me, I don’t give a damn. [repeat verse]


If the child is crying,

Give him your milk.

If the namesake of my father is crying,

Give him your milk.

If the namesake of my mother is crying,

Give her your milk.

If the namesake of my grandfather is crying,

Give him your milk.

If the namesake of my father-in-law is crying,

Give him your milk.

If the namesake of Baguayogo is crying,

Give him your milk.


We sing.

We dance.

We shake.

We get a move on.

Me, I don’t give a damn!


And if the namesake of the grandfather is crying?

Let him cry until he’s blue in the face.

Me, I don’t give a damn.

And if the namesake of the grandmother is crying?

Let her cry until she’s blue in the face?

Me, I don’t give a damn.

And if the namesake of the nasty father-in-law is crying?

Let him cry until he’s blue in the face.

Me, I don’t give a damn.

And if the namesake of the nasty brother-in-law is crying?

Let him cry until he’s blue in the face.

Me, I don’t give a damn.

And if the namesake of the nasty wife of the polygamist is crying.

Let her cry until she’s blue in the face.

Me, I don’t give a damn.


Batoma, your child is crying.

Come take him.


We sing.

We dance.

We shake.

We get a move on.

Me, I don’t give a damn!


If the children are crying

Carry them on your backs

If the children are crying

Keep them quiet

If the children are crying

Take care of them


Tjou! Tjou! Tjou!

Give him your milk

Tjou! Tjou! Tjou!

Carry him on your back...
