Suma Deuk Waay
My Neighborhood
Come to my neighborhood,
if you want to know who I really am.
Where is it happening?
It's all happening right down here.
Look back and find out about your traditions.
Massamba Diop and Gokh-Bi System,
are making the TAMA talking drum come to life,
from Senegal to America,
and from Senegal to Europa.
I will never run away from my Senegalese traditions.
Where is it happening?
It's all happening right down here.
Come to my neighborhood,
if you want to know who I am.
Africa America Massamba Diop Gokh-Bi System
We make our message clear,
by revisiting our mind,
and making the music our pride.
Living in downtown won't make me forget my town,
Guediawaye Guediawye I will never forget you,
Guediawaye Guediawaye I will always remember my ancestors.
Translated from Wolof to English by Boubacar Diaite and Amadou Talla
