English lyrics: I met a gorgeous girl, I asked her name She told me Biba Bibatou it is you that I love, my heart Biba, it is you that I love Bibatou Touré, mother of Hawa and Ali, it is you I adore Others whisper, others talk, but it’s you that I love Do not listen to them, do not listen to gossip, it is you in my heart I said Fatouma, beautiful girl, I say the wife of Poulo, Anna Farka, Hassey and Diadié my beloved It’s you I love The wife of Soumbou and Gna Farka it’s you that I love
Of the Gods! From the heart, to the core of humanness! May God continue to oil those fingers and your voice, water your spirit and open your mind, African Son! You make an old African mother's heart sing! Thank you!
I am from USA, grateful for the music from Africa, from Mali, to soothe the spirit during these turbulent times. Peace and Understanding and Forgiveness to all Beings
Vieux, this song went right through my heart, and I don't even know what the words mean but the melody touched every part of my soul. Thank you for this great piece of art!
This yung man is unreplaceable great musician with beautiful guitar talent I salute you sir🙏 may God Give you peace for child you lost💔 rest in peace for your child Amen🤲
I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I find this music beautiful also and hope that maybe it will help you remember your son in a positive way. Vieux's album The Tel Aviv Session with Idit Raichel (a piano player) is also gorgeous. Best wishes.
I love this music! I'll be listening to all your music and would like to buy some.It's beautiful. It's been difficult to listen to music for two years, since my son was shot and killed. He was an amazingly talented djembe player. I think I needed something totally new to listen to. This is very beautiful; Roland would have liked it also.
Powerful song! The picking style of Malian guitarists has a different timing with the fretting finger it seems - but other parts of the song have a lot in common with other genres.
English lyrics:
I met a gorgeous girl, I asked her name
She told me Biba
Bibatou it is you that I love, my heart Biba, it is you that I love
Bibatou Touré, mother of Hawa and Ali, it is you I adore
Others whisper, others talk, but it’s you that I love
Do not listen to them, do not listen to gossip, it is you in my heart
I said Fatouma, beautiful girl, I say the wife of Poulo, Anna Farka, Hassey and Diadié my beloved
It’s you I love
The wife of Soumbou and Gna Farka it’s you that I love
