Lyrics All the Same - Vieux Farka Touré

All the Same

Ils sont tous les mêmes
— Je dis de les regarder, je dis qu’ils sont tous les mêmes
— Ils te voient en te flattant et font semblant de t’aimer
— Je dis de les regarder, je dis qu’ils sont tous les mêmes
— Ils sautent et crient faire semblant de t’aimer, je le dis
— ils te voient et vont chez toi en famille et sortent de chez toi au milieu du
jour
— Je dis de les regarder, je dis qu’ils sont tous les mêmes
— On doit imiter Niafunkén je dis soko sondou Mayo (surnom de niafunké)
— Je dis de les regarder, je dis qu’ils sont tous les mêmes
— Tenons à nous suivre dans un ensemble et crayons une bonne eentente entre
nous et soyons
Unis
Look at them
They are all the same (all the same)
They see you and flatter you and pretend to love you
Oh when you look at them theyʼre all the same
Smiles and promises, smiles and promises
Cry real tears til you believe
But they donʼt want you
They want what youve got
And it may taste sweet, but love itʼs not
Oh it may taste sweet but love itʼs not
Look at them
They are all the same (all the same)
Oh look at me cause I believed
Ive prayed in their temples down on my knees
I turned my back, felt the knife sink deep
Look at them theyʼre all the same
Take everything, itʼs a crying shame
And it might take sweet but itʼs a wicked game
They jump and cry, pretend to love you
They see you and go visit you in your family and leave your house midday
Might taste sweet but itʼs a wicked game
Look at them
Theyʼre all the same
We should be like the people of Niafunke (also called Soko Sondou Mayo)
Oh look at them they are all the same
Smile and promises, smiles and promises
But turn your back, then the knife goes in
Cause they donʼt want you, they want what you got
And it might taste sweet but thatʼs not love
Might taste sweet but its not love
Look at them
They are all the same
