Uprootedness

Listen to this,
you immigrants from Sine and Saloum.
Let's talk about what we can do for our country,
Remember that only our culture can define our identity.
We must not reject it.
And however successful you become abroad,
you must always remember where you're from,
cause a person without culture is like a tree without leaves.

Translated from Wolof to English by Boubacar Diaite and Amadou Talla
