Djama!
Danaya ka guêlè.
Layidou ka guêlè.
An ka djidja ka kêdanamogo yé.
Djama!
Ni yéfilaouw ka missi djourouta,
I ki djidja ka sara a sara touma na.
Ni yéwouayéka sôgôdjourouta,
I ki djadja ka sara a sara touma na.
Ni yésomono ka djaiguai djourouta,
I ki djidja ka sara a sara toumana.
Ni yékadoouw ka djiba djourouta,
I ki djidja ka sara a sara touma na.
Ni yémarakaouw ka wari djourouta,
I ki djidja ka sara a sara touma na.
Ni yéitériouw ka fini djourouta,
I ki djidja ka sara a sara touma na.
Ni yéitériouw ka samara djourouta,
I ki djidja ka sara a sara touma na.
Ni yémôgôka ton wari djourouta,
I ki djidja ka sara a sara touma na.
Ni yémôgôka Pari wari tièkodou,
I ki djidja ka sara a sara touma na.
Na masséka sara a sara toumana,
Aouw kana kêni jongon na maloya yé.
Na masséka sara a sara toumana,
Aouw kana kêni kêlêban baliyé…
Djama!
Danaya ka guêlè.
Layidou ka guêlè.
An ka djidja ka kêdanamogo yé.
Djama!

People!
Confidence is difficult.
Promise is difficult.
Let’s try to be confident.
People!
If you buy beef on credit from the Peulhs,*
You must repay them on time.
If you buy meat on credit from the butchers,
You must repay them on time.
If you buy fish on credit from the fishermen,
You must repay them on time.
If you buy an onion on credit from the Dogon,*
You must repay them on time.
If you borrow money on credit from the Marka,*
You must repay them on time.
If you buy clothes on credit from friends,
You must repay them on time.
If you buy shoes on credit from friends,
You must repay them on time.
If you borrow money from an organization,
You must repay them on time.
If you borrow money from your brothers on credit,
You must repay them on time.
If you couldn’t repay them on time,
Don’t be shamed by the creditors.
If you couldn’t repay them on time,
You mustn’t quarrel endlessly with the creditors…
People!
Confidence is difficult.
Promise is difficult.
Let’s try to be confident.
People!
