Kharitt sama wakhma degg yow, li thi ganaw degg guenalouma

Mentira traz medo e dor
A verdade e bem mais simples nos conectados
Num canal de amor
Mentira nao

Andar de cabeça erguida
Soluçao tomada
Parar de mentir
Abre abre o seu coraçao hoje
Ele te salvara amanha
Salvara amanha

Kham nga louma nékh si yow daddy sagna koor dior
Ndakh degg gui, dancoy dawal bamu matt
We, wo, la... Degg gui, yé, degg gui, degg gui deggala
Lalala li... Waw ni deggla

The phrase "Degg gui" in Wolof translates to "the truth" in English.

This text appears to combine lyrics in Wolof (a language spoken in Senegal, The Gambia, and Mauritania), Portuguese, and English. Below is a translation that preserves the essence of the mixed languages:
Wolof (Translated to English):

You hear the truth, the truth is clear,
You sleep in the truth, the truth is clear,
You walk in the truth, the truth is clear,
Truth upon truth, the truth is obvious.

You hear the truth, the truth is clear,
You sleep in the truth, the truth is clear,
You walk in the truth, the truth is clear,
Truth upon truth, the truth is obvious.

Friend, my words are clear to you, what’s behind is becoming apparent.
We bury the habits of lying conversations, and stop the betrayal
In the truth, the truth is obvious.

Friend, my words are clear to you, what’s behind is becoming apparent.
We bury the habits of lying conversations, and stop the betrayal
In the truth, the truth is obvious.

Portuguese (Translated to English):

Lies bring fear and pain,
The truth is much simpler when we are connected
Through a channel of love.
No lies.
They stop us from sleeping,
From walking with our heads held high,
The solution has been taken:
Stop lying.
Open, open your heart today.
It will save you tomorrow,
It will save you tomorrow,
It will save you tomorrow.

Additional Wolof Lines (Translated to English):

Friend, my words are clear to you, what’s behind is becoming apparent.
We bury the habits of lying conversations, and stop the betrayal
In the truth, the truth is obvious.

The truth upon truth is clear; you sleep in the truth, it is clear.
You walk in the truth, it is clear; truth upon truth, it is clear.
You know what pleases me in you, daddy, strength and honor.
Because the truth, it guides and directs until it’s fulfilled.
Yes, oh yes... The truth, yes, the truth, the truth is clear.
La-la-la... Yes, the truth.












Thank You for the translation!   EXCELLENT SONG!
