Lyrics
Isso que toca bem, bem
Isso que toca bem, bem
Chama-se balafon
Em cada lugar tem
O nome deve ser outro qualquer
No Camerum
Isso que a gente chama marimba
Tem na África todo mesmo som
Isso que toca bem, bem
Num lugar, não lembro bem
Chama-se balafon
Marim-bajé
Iré-xiré
Balafonjá
Orim-axé
Lyrics translation
That plays well, well
That plays well, well
It's called balafon.
In every place has
The name should be any other
In Cameroon
What we call marimba
Has in Africa all the same sound
That plays well, well
In a place, I don't remember well
It's called balafon.
