| Thanks Santafara. I will wait for the English translation. I tried to read it in Mandingo (my mother tongue), it didn't work. Perhaps I am not familiar with the song in the first place. Ain't that pathetic, my mother tongue? |

| Thanks Toubab, i will try. Kay, Foday Musa Suso has live in U.S since you were in primary 6. since 1979 to be precise. He speak a mix of Mandingka dialect, some of it cassamance or Kabbuu. I will do my best to translate, but i hope Janko could help. |

Gainde, the whole song will be wonderful. I know that, onegambia has the song on the page. But it will require keen listening. Please do, i was busy the past days. i will take your offer to help my good brother the Gambian-American Kay and our friend Toubab. he will have to produce attaya here one day. Toubab, i brew it every so often.
Janko, thanks for the few lines  Wato mann soto. |

| Deep mandinka indeed! I picked more by listening, however. Can't wait for the translation as well... |

thanks gainde for the kind offer. We will keenly await the input. But is it possible to put the Joker link for us here, so that Toubab can hear what we are on about. i try taking it from onegambia but fail.
Also please whilst in the Gambia, see if you can get us a good fana fana cultural tape or video. I am trying to reconnect with my Fana fana side of late. Momodou will have to do the negotaition between myself and brother Juldeh Camara. Momdodou, no excuses. |

Mansa, deep indeed. But if you listen to the song until when he said 'itela dabo tou sunkuto, ....' and the rest only the Suso kunda folks can end it. |
