Youssou N'Dour
"Li Ma Weesu (As In A Mirror)"


My past always comes back as in a mirror
Sometimes I look back to my past life
With regret or pride
When I'm around the children I love, they dance and I guide
them and I express myself in such a way that I want to be a
child again and never grow older
The longer I stay away, the more forgetful I am
The older I grow, the more I look back to the past
and want to be a child again
My past always comes back as in a mirror
Sometimes I look back to my past life
With regret or pride
When I'm around the children I love, I feel happy again
They dance, I guide them and express myself in such a way
that I want to be a child again and never grow older
The closer I am, the farther I feel
The farther I am, the closer I feel
The longer I stay away, the more forgetful I am
The older I grow, the more I look back to the past
and want to be a child again
My past always comes back as in a mirror
