Aras Lyrics English Translation by Ashs The Best
Charles Mbaye Diagne offers intense vows like ‘It’s worth me losing my life so that you can live.’ The trio uses powerful symbols – holy Safa and Marwa hills, God’s Throne, light-bearing stars – to show love as a sacred covenant. They paint love as both armor against pain and a cosmic union.
Beggu-ma Ngay Gis Lu La YeemI don’t want you to see anything that shocks you.
Beggu-ma Nga Gis Lu La JaaxalI don’t want you to see anything that worries you.
Jaral Na Ma Faat Bakkan Yaw Nga DundIt’s worth me losing my life so that you can live.
Beggu-ma La Gis Ngay CaalitI don’t want to see you in a state of distress.
