Namania Lyrics

	I go to my little black girl
	My little Moorish girl with ebony skin
	The star that shines in the shade of the tomonon *
	The unique beauty of the Moorish region
	I go to Aiché, the Moorish girl
	Oh, thank you God!
	To have put her on my path
	That all envious pass
	Because I do not want to lose her like
	I lost the great cailcedras* on the banks of the river Kayidin
	I am afraid you will disappear from my sight Where are you then my little ebony girl?
	Are you dancing on the festival square?
	Namania, despite your aquiline nose, your limpid eyes
	Your slenderness, your long neck
	Your long arms, your clear skin
	You will never equal the little black ebony girl Mama Djombo! guardian of young initiates
	Come to my aid… she is so beautiful.

	I go to Aiche, the Moorish girl
	Oh, thank you God!
	To have put her on my path

	I lost the great cailcedras on the banks of the river Kayidin
	I am afraid you will disappear from my sight Where are you then my little ebony girl?
	Are you dancing on the festival square?
	Namania, despite your aquiline nose, your limpid eyes
	Your slenderness, your long neck
	Your long arms, your clear skin
	You will never equal the little black ebony girl Mama Djombo! guardian of young initiates
	Come to my aid she is so beautiful.
