Mariama |
Ah little pigeon |
Thank you Mariama Diallo, Diallo Dieri |
Nimma Mariama |
Mariama, namesake of Mariama the golden pigeon |
Mariama Sola |
Mariama the perfect mother |
Mariama the ideal woman |
Mariama a true sister |
Turtle Dove, Mariama Diallo Dieri |
Mariama, a real beauty |
Mariama’s neck is long and graceful |
Mariama’s countenance is beautiful |
Mariama smile a little |
And I will reward you |
Look! |
you are the moon among the stars |
Look! |
you are a light in the darkness |
My turtle dove |
You stand out from the other women |
Like a white crested heron among birds |
Ah my turtle dove |
Thank you, Diallo Dieri |
She doesn’t tease |
She bears no ill will |
Nor even hints at it |
Diallo the Peul |
Yes Mariama Diallo Dieri Nimma |
Dark as ebony |
Daughter of God |
Diallo Dieri |
Mariama looks after her family so well |
Mariama cares for all her husband’s needs |
Oh Mariama |
It’s time now to see to your neighbors |
For you are well known for that |
Diallo Dieri |
Mariama the perfect mother |
Mariama the ideal woman |
