Je m’appelle Ibrahima Moussa, qu’on appelle aussi Ibrahima Dramé
Dramé Samayera, fils de marabout
Je remercie Dieu, Allah
Il est incomparable
On me connaît sous le nom d’Ibrahima Dramé
Héritier des griots, descendant d’une lignée de griots
Fils de Kagoro, Ibrahima Dramé, Dramé Samayera
Fils de Djeneba Foune
Ibrahima Dramé est ainsi
Mais on nous appelle Ibrahima Moussa
Ibrahima est issu d’une grande famille de griots
Moi, Djebebou Sodoga, on m’appelle Sorion
Que l’on connaît comme le fils de Djebebouhoune
