What's the song Madan (by Salif Keita) about?

[Pepe]

Hi folks

I’d love to know what the song “Madan” is about.

Salif Keita - Madan (Original)

Does anyone know how to translate it into English, or perhaps explain what it is about? I know that songs sometimes can be difficult to translate as they sometimes contain cultural elements/meanings that can’t be conveyed by another language.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Pepe! Welcome to the Forum!

I don’t know the song Madan well at all, but I’m moving your post to #requests:request-song-lyrics since you asked for a translation of it
