(?) plane
Isn't it the plane from Paris?
(?) comes from Paris
And by the way, don't you have any news from your brother?

Every time I see these metal birds tearing the sky
I think of my big brother and his Western dream
Every evening he read us letters from the Eiffel Tower
From his friend Moussa, who went to study literature
He said he was rich, that in France money grows on the ground
There, they treat you for free and even the poor go to school
He made my brother dream, he who wanted a different future
I lost my biggest guide when I heard my parents tell him

Why are you leaving home, there men forget the essentials
Why are you leaving home, don't think everything is better there

Everyone is asking for you, we need you
Don't leave us, we need you
Don't leave your parents, the future of the country
Everyone is asking for you, we need you

Since you left us, every night we live with our eyes open
Since you left us, every day we wait for a little letter
The ocean might have swallowed him, maybe they can't swim
Our hearts gave out when his little brother came to tell us

Dad, I'm leaving home, there men use their wings
Mom, I'm leaving home, don't cry your son is going to live his dreams

Everyone is asking for you, we need you
Everyone is asking for you, we need you
Don't leave us, we need you
Don't leave us, we need you
Don't leave your parents, the future of the country
Everyone is asking for you, we need you

Hey, he came back
He came back, it's great

Mom, I'm back, there I thought I was taking off
After school, I worked illegally, no, money doesn't grow on the ground
Only in football there do they not look at the color of your skin
In the land of freedom, there's a shepherd and a flock
I also saw my big brother, he lives with Moussa far from the Eiffel Tower
They stopped studying literature to fill their plates
Far from the African sun, every morning at the market
With tears in his eyes, he remembers when you told him

Why are you leaving home, there men forget the essentials
Why are you leaving home, don't think everything is better there

Everyone is asking for you, we need you
Everyone is asking for you, we need you
Don't leave us, we need you
Don't leave us, we need you
Don't leave your parents, the future of the country
Everyone is asking for you, we need you
Everyone is asking for you, we need you
Everyone is asking for you, we need you
Don't leave us, we need you
Don't leave us, we need you
