Tapioca [English translation]

[Ghanaian chant]

I thank the asphalt for every jump it let me do

I thank the legs, mine and others' for each dive in the sea

I thank the houses, also those for rent, for being cosy

Saying "thanks" at times after all is inevitable

When the moon is visible by day

(It's inevitable)

Like summer becoming autumn

I've arrived here

I'm fine even if it's monday

I feel I'm breathing the air that spins the world around like it's a propeller

[Ghanaian chant]

I thank the neighbourhood for everything you didn't manage to give me

Because I invented what didn't exist

I've been able to imagine it

When you don't see the stars by day

(It's inevitable)

When the school ends in June

[Ghanaian chant]

Sunday arrived

It's a choir singing

Meeting at noon

I thank every thing

The smell of the bread from the other side of the world

I thank you and I play louder

And I play even louder

[Ghanaian chant]
