Up to mighty Dakar
Came an African man one day.
as the streets are paved with gold.
Sure, everyone was happy,
Singing songs of Sedar Senghor,
Strand and paths
Till Mamadou got excited
Then they shouted to them there :
It's a long way to Tombouctou
It's a long way to go.
It's a long way to Tombouctou
To the sweetest children I know !
Goodbye, Dakar,
Farewell, Sedar Senghor
It's a long long way to Tombouctou,
But my heart's right there.
