Bring it to me, just bring it to me
If you don’t have good things to say, don’t bring it to me
Bring it to me, just bring it to me
We can lie Bring it to me
Gossip, don’t bring it to me Just bring it to me
We can lie Let’s put ourselves together and show our kids the right direction

Every day carries a goodbye
And maybe a loving glance we won’t forget
A night will come for the soul to rest
When the day’s work is done there is no regret
Oh woman don’t cry
Oh woman don’t cry
Kana kasi,
(don’t cry)
Ma kana kasi,
(mother don’t cry)
Mogo laban tiogo dé kagélin,
(it’s the way we leave this world that is important)
Kana kasi,
(don’t cry)
Saya té masi to,
(death forgets no one)
Mogo laban tiogo dé kagélin,
(it’s the way we leave this world that is important)
Woman don’t blame the sky
Listen to the whisper of God instead
Your son left on a good day
Leaving the fuel of his love to make your heart glow
Oh woman don’t cry
Kana kasi
Ma kana kasi
Mogo laban tiogo dé kagélin
Kana kasi
Saya té masi to
Mogo laban tiogo dé kagélin
I know you still feel the pain
Kana kasi, kana kasi
Ma kana kasi
