I kept quiet, but I haven’t been spared so far
I even decided to always stay quiet,
but I haven’t been spared so far
I keep quiet
I keep quiet
Auntie Oumou
Don’t cry, there is no reason to cry
Enemies have said all sorts of lies about you
False brothers have said all sorts of lies about you
False friends have said all sorts of lies about you
But ignore them, don’t respond and you’ll see…
You mustn’t blame yourself
You mustn’t blame yourself
Just keep quiet

You mustn’t blame yourself
Just keep quiet
