I went to Segou market, I bought a new basin at Segou market
Until I thought about my husband, I remembered my mean husband
I threw the basin in the stream, I threw the new basin in the stream
I went to Bamako market, I bought gold at Bamako market
Until I thought about my co-wife, I remembered the malice of my co-wife
I threw the gold in the water, in the current water
I went to Mopti market, I bought fresh fish at Mopti market
Until I thought about my father in law, I remembered my mean father in law
I threw the fish in the water, I threw the fresh fish in the river water
I went to Diabaly market, I bought fresh onion at Diabaly market
Until I thought about my mother in law, I remember my wicked mother in law
I threw the onion in the water, I threw the onion to the stream of water
I went to Niono market, I bought red rice at Niono market
Until I thought about my brother in law, I remembered my mean brother in law
I threw the rice to the waves, I threw the rice to the waves
I went to Dioro market, I bought sauce powder at Dioro market
Until I thought about my companions, I remembered my mean companions
I threw the sauce to the waves, I threw the sauce powder to the waves
A bottle
Mother Sitan Touré, be a garbage dump
So that all the people’s rubbish be poured upon you
Assitan Touré, be a garbage dump
So that the mean relatives’ garbage we poured upon your clothes
Oh mother, be a garbage dump
So that all the people’s rubbish be poured upon you
So that all the mean relatives’ garbage be poured upon your clothes
I went to Mopti market, I bought fresh fish at Mopti market
Until I thought about my father in law, I remembered my mean father in law
I threw the fish in the water, I threw the fresh fish in the river water
I went to Diabaly market, I bought fresh onion at Diabaly market
Until I thought about my mother in law, I remember my wicked mother in law
I threw the onion in the water, I threw the onion to the stream of water
I went to Niono market, I bought red rice at Niono market
Until I thought about my brother in law, I remembered my mean brother in law
I threw the rice to the waves, I threw the rice to the waves
I went to Dioro market, I bought sauce powder at Dioro market
Until I thought about my companions, I remembered my mean companions
I threw the sauce to the waves, I threw the sauce powder to the waves
A bottle

Mother Sitan Touré, be a garbage dump
So that all the people’s rubbish be poured upon you
Assitan Touré, be a garbage dump
So that the mean relatives’ garbage we poured upon your clothes
Oh mother, be a garbage dump
So that all the people’s rubbish be poured upon you
So that all the mean relatives’ garbage be poured upon your clothes
Oh mother, be a garbage dump
So that all the people’s rubbish be poured upon you
