Lyrics:
TÉRÉ (Alpha Blondy)
N'né koumbé fê ka donguiri léla (I only want to sing to you)
Ni n'doni môgôh mi gassila (If however you feel offended)
N'goyé yafa néman (Please accept my apologies)
Déni kéléni férétani (I’m a lonely and unfortunate orphan)
Fatchê ténan M'bamousso té n'tayé (I have no father, my mother rejects me)
Né djigui yé téré (My only hope is the Sun)
Lo'mbê sôgôh man téré bé wiri (Every morning the Sun rises)
Téré té sôguô (The Sun doesn’t get upset)
Né djigui yé téré léyé (My only hope is the Sun)
N'ya dozoya masé djinan faga man (A hunter doesn't hunt spirits)
Ni n'doni môgôh mi n'gassila-san (If however you feel offended)
N'goyé yafa néman (Please accept my apologies)
Ouhoui n'téri téré (Oh yes my friend the Sun) 4x
Yiman n'téri téré (It is to you I'm talking, Oh!) 4x
N'né koumbé fê ka donguiri léla (I only wanted to sing to you)
Ni n'doni môgôh mi gassila (If however you feel offended)
N'goyé yafa néman (Please accept my apologies)
