| Ah Lola Ah Lola Ah Lola la |
| Here is the peasant, the most courageous of all man |
| He harvest corn and millet for our survival |
| Under the sweltering heat, he is hoping for rain |
| Bear witness to his courage |
| Bear witness to his courage |
| He is looking forward to the seasonal rain |
| Go to the region of Baol and you’ll know what I mean |
| Or to the region of Waalo Mbodj |
| He is in debt when rains are scarce |
| As sooon as the sky turns cloudy, he hopes for rain |
| Rain or shine, he has to pay back what he owes |
| Bear witness to his courage |
| Bear witness to his courage |
| How important is Nature ti his life! |
| That’s the only thing that can soothe his hunger |
| Lately, he’s had so much in his mind |
| That he’s been unable to fall asleep |
| He’s looking forward to the seasonal rain |
| Go to the region of Shine Saloum |
| Bear witness to his courage |
| Bear witness to his courage |
| Here is the Peasant, the most courageous of all men |
| He harvest peanuts and bears for our survival |
| Before the rain, he clears the field and waits |
| Bear witness to his courage |
| Bear witness to his courage |
| If the rainy season has been fruitful, prices go down in Dakar, the capital |
| However, if the rains are scarce, prices go up |
| Whatever the situation, it is a painful one |
| Bear witness to his courage |
| Bear witness to his courage |
| He is so desperate |
| Bear witness to his courage |
| Bear witness to his courage |
| He is so desperate |
