I`ve never seen our group begin a conga line during a band`s opening song (especially after three days of music and dancing)! Thanks again for adding to the success of this year`s festival. Have a great year!" --Matt Speier, Sproutstock 2003 Festival Coordinator

Lyrics - Senegal Print E-mail

In Wolof (on CD)

Senegal sama rew
Senegal rewoul teranga la
Mag you bakh yi, ndeye sane nianal nanou

Mag ni deno dioubo thi sene biir
Khale yi roye this seni thank
Bo set lo, sama waye
Kham ne l'islam reka wor

Kay ane, kay reer, khalale ndogou
Bo bougue guiss lou melni lolou
Demal Senegal

Senegal sama rew, mane
Rewoum teranga la
Al kham doulila, ndeye san
Islam reka woor

Al kham doulila, mane
Magui sant raqbana
Al kham doulila, mane
Sant yala warnama

Senegal sama rew!
Senegal sama rew!
Senegal sama rew!
Senegal lo sama rew la

In French

Senegal, mon pays, est un pays d'hospitalite
Les anciens l'ont beni

Les anciens ont une tres bonne entente entre eux
Et les jeunes copient leur exemple
A bien voir, on peut reconnaitre la grandeur de l'islam

Tous etrangers invites a la nourriture familiale
Est une loi hospitaliere qui existe au Senegal

Senegal mon pays est un pays d'hospitalite
Rendons grace a dieu, de nous faire croire en la loi divine

Rendons grace a dieu, je vous dis
Je remercie le bon dieu
Rendons grace a dieu
Notre remerciement a dieu sera eternel

Senegal mon pays
Senegal mon pays
Senegal mon pays
Senegal est vraiment mon pays

In English

Senegal, mycountry
Is a country of hospitality
The elders have blessed it

The elders understand one another
And the young follow their example
One can recognize, the greatness of Islam

All foreigners are invited to our family meals
This is the law of hospitality
That exists in Senegal

Senegal, my country
Is a country of hospitatility
Let us give grace to God
To help us believe in the divine law

Let us give grace to God
I say I thank God
Let us give grace to God
Our thanks will be eternal

Senegal, my country
Senegal, my country
Senegal, my country
Senegal is truly my country
