Angélique Kidjo - Iwoya [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Dave Matthews:]
You don't have to be old to be wise
A bird doesn't wait 'til it dies to fly
Emptiness is not for me
Fill me up and spill over me

[Angélique Kidjo:]
Titila ela temi yo
Lon dan ninou ayé pelou oyaya
Mon fé dada foun éda mio
Fon fé ki ayé temin koda

[Dave Matthews:]
See your soul
Open your eyes
From inside
Your soul comes shining

[Angélique Kidjo:]
Mon ria émi ninou i fè
I fè foua nami pelou ayo

[Dave Matthews:]
You don't have to be old to be wise
Don't you hear the baby crying?

[Both:]
Iwoya
Iwoya
Iwoya

Iwoya
Iwoya
Iwoya

[Angélique Kidjo:]
Goun nounkoun kou ikou lémé
Kpala n'la la
Afatcha idarugbo
Kpala n'la la

[Both:]
You don't have to be old to be wise
A bird doesn't wait 'til it dies to fly
And emptiness is not for me

Fill me up
Fill me up
Spill over me

Iwoya
Iwoya
Iwoya

Iwoya
Iwoya
Iwoya

[Angélique Kidjo:]
Oloriré nin èda
Oloriré ni èda mio
Emin o lérin hoho wa lé
Oriré ni ti agba do

Oloriré nin èda mio
Oloriré ni èda
Emin o lérin hoho wa lé
Oloriré ni èda mio

Iwoya
Iwoya
Iwoya
Iwoya
