Amadou & Mariam

Amadou & Mariam are a musical duo from Mali, composed of the couple Amadou Bagayoko (guitar and vocals) (born in Bamako 24 October 1954) and Mariam Doumbia (vocals) (born in Bamako 15 April 1958). The pair, known as "the blind couple from Mali" met at Mali's Institute for the Young Blind, where they both performed at the Institute’s Eclipse Orchestra, directed by Idrissa Soumaouro, and found they shared an interest in music. Amadou lost his vision at the age of 16 while Mariam became blind at age 5 as a consequence of untreated measles. more »

Oh! Mes amis on ne choisit pas son destin
Les jours se ressemblent mais ne sont pas les mêmes
Les doigts de la main ne sont pas tous égaux
Dans ce monde, on est complémentaire

Come on and show me everything that you know
I wanna travel every inch of your curves

En Afrique, il y a la canicule
Il y a le soleil, il y a la chaleur humaine
Il y a le soleil, il y a la joie de vivre
Il y a le soleil, on est tous ensemble

I’m goin’ up and down
And baby round and round

Africa! Africa! Africa!
Solidarité
Africa! Africa! Africa!
C'est la joie de vivre

Tell ’em again
Here we go

Il y a des pays où c'est la neige
Il y a des pays où, c'est la canicule
Il y a des pays où, c'est les tempêtes
Il y a des pays où, c'est des îles
Dans ce monde, on est complémentaire

It’s just a jealousy
Everything for you and me

You ready? Here we go

I got my feet, I’m jumping high off the wall
I got my heart, I ain't afraid of the fall
I got my duffel bag that daddy packed for me
I got my ear so I hear when you call
I don’t need eyes just to see you look good
You always did, but they misunderstood

I’m goin’ up and down
And baby round and round
I wanna touch you down the river below
And then I’ll kiss you from your head to your toe
You take me so high up, and then you let me down

Africa! Africa! Africa!
Solidarité
Africa! Africa! Africa!
C'est la joie de vivre

En Afrique, il n'y a pas que la guerre
En Afrique, il n'y a pas que la famine
En Afrique, il y a la solidarité
Il y a les parents, il y a aussi les frères
Il y a les soeurs, il y a aussi les cousins
Il y a les amis, il y a aussi la famille
La communauté, on est tous ensemble
En Afrique, il y a la joie de vivre

Africa! Africa! Africa!
Solidarité
Africa! Africa! Africa!
C'est la joie de vivre

Africa! Africa! Africa!
Solidarité
Africa! Africa! Africa!
C'est la joie de vivre
