Let’s sing for World Peace!!!

I came across this video, which is titled, THIS SONG SHOULD BE TRANSLATED TO ALL THE LANGUAGES IN THE WORLD. #WORLDPEACE, and I wholeheartedly agree with its central message about universal understanding and the power of music to connect people across cultures. The song is called Rien ne m’étonne (nothing surprised me), and it’s beautifully performed by the talented Ivorien Revolutionary singer Tiken Fah Koli. His lyrics resonate with themes of resilience and hope, touching on the struggles faced by communities while also inspiring listeners to embrace peace and unity. This song truly deserves to be shared worldwide, allowing its uplifting spirit to reach every corner of the globe and remind us of our shared humanity.

Here are the lyrics in English:

They’ve divided up the world

Nothing surprises me anymore

They’ve divided up the world

Nothing surprises me anymore

If you let me have Chechnya,

Me, I’ll let you have Armenia

If you let me have Afghanistan,

Me, I’ll let you have Pakistan

If you don’t leave Haiti,

Mе, I’ll send you to Bangui

If you help me bomb Iraq,

Mе, I’ll sort out Kurdistan for you

They’ve divided up the world

Nothing surprises me anymore

They’ve divided up the world

Nothing surprises me anymore

If you let me have Uranium,

Me, I’ll let you have Aluminum

If you let me have your mineral deposits,

Me, I’ll help you chase out the Taliban

If you give me a lot of wheat,

Me, I’ll go to war at your side

If you let me extract your gold,

Me, I’ll help you kick the General out

They’ve divided up the world

Nothing surprises me anymore

They’ve divided up the world

Nothing surprises me anymore

They divided Africa without consulting us

And they wonder why we are disunited

Part of the Mandinka Empire ended up with the Wolof

Part of the Mossi Empire ended up in Ghana

Part of the Soussou Empire ended up in the Mandinka Empire

Part of the Mandinka Empire ended up with the Mossis

They shared Africa without consulting us!

Without asking us!

Without informing us!

They’ve divided up the world

Nothing surprises me anymore

They’ve divided up the world

Nothing surprises me anymore
