Gathering of the Tribes
Oh, what a great day in our history
The gathering of the tribes last spring
The elders met together – all agreed
Griots began to sing

Drink the pure water of forgiveness
Sing the sweet song of mercy
Let the cornerstone of the temple be love

[Solo Cissokho singing in the Bambara language]

Drink the pure water of forgiveness
Sing the sweet song of mercy
Let the cornerstone of the temple bе love

Drink the pure watеr of forgiveness
Sing the sweet song of mercy
Let the cornerstone of the temple be love

Drink the pure water of forgiveness
Sing the sweet song of mercy
Let the cornerstone of the temple be love
