Lyrics Never Know - Angélique Kidjo, Cassandra Wilson

Never Know

Egb afon kpodo avi kpo
Do wzoun kan w
Nou d adoo bi vo dow
Avi djin kpo
Toto mantin
Nontow kou bo yhan dow
Egb awa toun viv ton
Do g tow min
What you want
Is not always what you need
Looking everywhere
Except right in front of me
Inner peace
Or private war
Lose the key
Just when you find the door
'Cause we never know what we’ve got
Till it’s gone
(Mondji irorun kossi mon)
'Cause we never know what we’ve lost
Till it’s found
(Irorun, irorun, irorun egbamin o)
Ado gandji ma djia zon
Gb nou viv
Enin o wou o lin tamin kpon
Bo djo avi do
Gblo wdjo mon min
Min bi do nan sou
Do viv min w min bi
Kplon soussou d

(Irorun, irorun, irorun, egbamin o)
'Cause we never know what we’ve got
Till it’s gone
'Cause we never know what we’ve lost
Till it’s found
'Cause we never know what we’ve got
Till it’s gone
(Mondji irorun kossi mon)
'Cause we never know what we’ve lost
Till it’s found
