Hello, i tried to translate the lyrics. Excuse me if it has mistakes cause my english isn't the best.
"May God make me a golden bird Mariaama (that's the name of a pigeon).
I will fly until I land on our territory: the city of Doyhraa.
May God fulfill my wishes:
Have a long life and be lucky overall.
In this case, I will live well with my friends.
In this case, I will live well with my relatives.
Once upon a time, I was in France.
I was in search of wisdom and knowledge.
Until one day I received a call from Senegal.
I returned to Dakar (capital of Senegal), I found that my mother was deceased.
Baayo, baayo, baayo (that's how we call an orphan in Peulh)
Baayo, baay, baayo, baayo.
Mom, mom, my dear mother
Daddy, daddy, my dear father
Mom, mom, my dear mother
Daddy, daddy, my dear father
Baayo, baayo, baayo
Oh you tender-hearted mother,
Father full of pity.
Mother, mother, mother Aissata Samba Boubou Yassine Wade (full name of his mother) mother of Fatou, Mamma, and Laye Maal
The mother of Thilo, Ndeye Khar, Ndeye Gueye, and Baba Maal"
