Takamba Songtext
von Fatoumata Diawara

Takamba (We belong to each other)

Don′t fight me, don't fight me, man!
Don′t fight me, don't fight me, man!

From the day I was born, our destinies were intertwined
From the very day I was born, our destinies were intertwined

Oh my love
Don't demean me
Don′t insult me
Don′t use physical violence on me
I don't like verbal abuse
I don′t like to be humiliated
Let's hold hands instead
That way, we can enjoy our love better
For the sake of our children


Stop humiliating women, let′s stop it!
Don't demean them in public
Stop humiliating women, let′s stop it!
Don't demean them
In front of their children
In front of their siblings

People, bring him to me
Our destinies were intertwined, oh God
She was entrusted to you, to look after
Her mother entrusted her to you
Her father entrusted her to you
Her supporters entrusted her to you
Her friends entrusted her to you
Her parents entrusted her to you
Her brothers entrusted her to you

I warn you
I warn you, darling
I warn you
I warn you, ah hee
I warn you
Aah my love
Aah my love
Heeey


Aah my love
Aah my love
Heeey

Aah my love
Aah my love
Don't fight me
