Boom Boom Ba Lyrics
A boom boom bâ
A boom boom bâ
A boom boom bâ
Can you hear my heart beat in this world?
A boom boom bâ
Do you know that behind all these words
A boom boom bâ
Lies a deep desire Kamélé hé?
A boom boom bâ
Mé kouman mé fora y bamê
Are my dreams to be all I can do?
Lay o lay above, lay o lay below
And he said Annie will show them a new way
Mé kouman mé fora y bamê
Kélé, filla, saba, nani, norou
Can you hear my heart beat in this world?
A boom boom bâ
Do you know that behind all these words
A boom boom bâ
Lies a deep desire Kamélé hé?
A boom boom bâ
Mé kouman mé fora y bamê
Are my dreams to be all I can do?
Lay o lay above, lay o lay below
And he said Annie will show them a new way
Mé kouman mé fora y bamê
Kélé, filla, saba, nani, norou
Can you hear my heart beat in this world?
A boom boom bâ
Do you know that behind all these words
A boom boom bâ
Lies a deep desire Kamélé hé?
A boom boom bâ
Mé kouman mé fora y bamê
Aligna donguiri ma digné
A boom boom bâ
Mé kouman mé for a y bâmê
A boom boom bâ
Aligna donguiri ma digné hé !
A boom boom bâ
Mé kouman mé for a y bâmê
Can you hear my heart beat in this world?
Kélé, filla, saba, nani, norou
Can you hear my heart beat in this world?
Kélé, filla, saba, nani, norou
Can you hear my heart beat in this world?
Kélé, filla, saba, nani, norou …

According to someone on LetsSingIt.com...
-
Boom boom: the beating of the heart... bâ: child (in Agni, an Ivory Coast dialect). Therefore, the singer's heart is beating for the children of the world.
-
Kélé, filla, saba, nani, norou: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
-
Kamélé: boy.
-
Mé kouman mé fora y bamê: Understand what I'm saying.
-
Aligna donguiri ma digné Mé kouman mé for a y bâmê: You don't need to like my song to understand what I'm saying.

I absoulutely love this song and the only reason I found it (or even looked for it) is because of the show called Dead Like Me. I think it was a good choice for the show and I listen to it a lot. Can anyone translate the lyrics though? It would be awsome to know what the whole song says.

Thats were i heard it too. Another good song from that show is Que sera sera at the end of the first episode

hmm, I'll have to watch that one again...we have the whole first season on DVD! haha

I love this ^_^ but sadly I have no idea what it means so I can't use it for videos or anything because, I'd have no idea what I'm associating it with heh. Translation would be lovely.

I think this is an African dialect, isn't it?

yeah I found it through Dead Like me as well. It sounds beautiful, I have my own little interpretation of what it means but nothing too deep. I think we know its about love though.

right w/all ya'll. heard it in Dead Like Me. just like you, also heard Que Sera Sera there, too. good shit! but... the movie? kinda lame, right?

I really wanted to see the movie.. I have both season 1 and 2, it's great. It's how I got into Metisse

I think that the movie's ok. I wish the original actress was still playing Daisy, but it was really nice to see the characters again!
