Lyrics

4. KANOU DAN YEN Kanou Dan Ye (Stop loving/Our love has no future) Young lovers or newlyweds who decide to break up rather than continue in a relationship they deem without a future because of an ancient tradition, which forbids marriages between certain ethnic groups. Fatou appeals to those who hang on to these archaic customs, which constitute an obstacle to the advancement of our society, and takes away from young people the freedom to love the person of their choice. Let us stop, stop, yes, stop this love without future We have to break up and say goodbye to each other My darling husband, it’s over, goodbye! Because you are Soninke and I am Fula You are Fula but I am Soninke I am a Jokorome and you are of the griot caste Your mother will never let us be together We cannot be together; your father will never let us Your brothers and sisters will always oppose our union Let us stop, stop, yes, stop this love without future We have to break up and say goodbye to each other My darling husband, it’s over, goodbye! Because you are Soninke and I am Fula You are Songhoy but I am Sarakole You are a Bwa and I am Bozo You are a Jokorome and I am Soninke Your mother will never let us be together We cannot be together; your father will never let us Your brothers and sisters will always oppose our union My husband, my love I am resigned to this fate Truth, please don’t stop two young hearts from loving each other Don’t stop them from being together if they love each other Let us stop, stop, yes, stop this love without future
