Batoma |
| Batoma, your child is crying |
| Come take him |
| We sing. |
| We dance. |
| We shake. |
| We get a move on. |
| Me, I don’t give a damn! |
| Batoma, your baby cries, Batoma |
| Batoma, everyone asks you, Batoma |
| Batoma, everyone calls you, Batoma |
| Batoma, your baby cries, Batoma |
| Me, I don’t give a damn. |
| If the child is crying, |
| Give him your milk. |
| If the namesake of my father is crying, |
| Give him your milk. |
| If the namesake of my mother is crying, |
| Give her your milk. |
| If the namesake of my grandfather is crying, |
| Give him your milk. |
| If the namesake of my father-in-law is crying, |
| Give him your milk. |
| If the namesake of Baguayogo is crying, |
| Give him your milk. |
| We sing. |
| We dance. |
| We shake. |
| We get a move on. |
| Me, I don’t give a damn! |
| And if the namesake of the grandfather is crying? |
| Let him cry until he’s blue in the face. |
| Me, I don’t give a damn. |
| And if the namesake of the grandmother is crying? |
| Let her cry until she’s blue in the face? |
| Me, I don’t give a damn. |
| And if the namesake of the nasty father-in-law is crying? |
| Let him cry until he’s blue in the face. |
| Me, I don’t give a damn. |
| And if the namesake of the nasty brother-in-law is crying? |
| Let him cry until he’s blue in the face. |
| Me, I don’t give a damn. |
| And if the namesake of the nasty wife of the polygamist is crying. |
| Let her cry until she’s blue in the face. |
| Me, I don’t give a damn. |
| Batoma, your child is crying. |
| Come take him. |
| We sing. |
| We dance. |
| We shake. |
| We get a move on. |
| Me, I don’t give a damn! |
| If the children are crying |
| Carry them on your backs |
| If the children are crying |
| Keep them quiet |
| If the children are crying |
| Take care of them |
| Tjou! |
| Tjou! |
| Tjou! |
| Give him your milk |
| Tjou! |
| Tjou! |
| Tjou! |
| Carry him on your back… |
