Sana's Jola Lullaby

This song is dedicated to a friend (Balla Seck ) who left the village and went to the city to make money so that he can finance his wedding. when he returned to the village he was surprised and sad to discover that his Fianc e (Yande Gueye) married another man while he was absent.
Oh Balla Seck I am wondering
I am lonely
I am still thinking of Yande Gueye
Please come back Yande
Come back to me my love.

Translated from Wolof to English by Boubacar Diaite and Amadou Talla
