They told us that legends will never die Their paintings and poetry will never lie Their spirits and wisdom they poured into musical notes just to make sure we never lack Kiseevi ki tav´a mo Njaraba
Wan yoŋg´ɑ jii Yaya moo Marafa Ver si tíya é Pontius Pilate si Wu sa fo ver á dze Jesus moo Barabara??
Màhtii m toȵg´a moo la Mami Màhti m ntōova sang la maggi We are legends, the elders The kings, the order, the sphinx , the sages, my jarabi Màhtii m toȵg´a moo la Daddy Màhti m kferà mgbvév la ntangri Ateh Bazore, Ni Ken, Afo Akom, John Menang, our legends forever live
They told us that legends will never die And their influence on art will never hide Their freedom to speak on our freedom of speech is the reason our children will never cry On atterit en style etant desguisé C´est le jeux du colons mais on a delivré On es quitté des mots à des actes, le travail d´esclave, chantiers aux Champs Elysees
Màhtii m toȵg´a moo la Mami Màhti m ntōova sang la maggi We´re ancestors, the founders, the seekers The keeper of keys, the council, nor malami?
Màhtii m toȵg´a moo la Daddy Màhti m kferà mgbvév la ntangri Kotto Bass, Lapiro, Yoms, Manu Dibango, our legends forever live
