Aw ni ce!

Another “Dɔnkili Delight” post to share a Manding language song that I dig:

Bonus points if you can can properly write the name of the song in standard Bambara/Jula and translate it into English :wink:

Got a song in Manding you love or keep coming back to? Feel free to start your own Dɔnkili Delight topic to share it :upside_down_face:

  • Yes, that’s wrong :wink: But it is an equative construction and the word so for “house; home” is in there
