Iwoya

[Dave Matthews:]

You don't have to be old to be wise

A bird doesn't wait 'til it dies to fly

Emptiness is not for me

Fill me up and spill over me

[Angélique Kidjo:]

Titila ela temi yo

Lon dan ninou ayé pelou oyaya

Mon fé dada foun éda mio

Fon fé ki ayé temin koda

[Dave Matthews:]

See your soul

Open your eyes

From inside

Your soul comes shining

[Angélique Kidjo:]

Mon ria émi ninou i fè

I fè foua nami pelou ayo

[Dave Matthews:]

You don't have to be old to be wise

Don't you hear the baby crying?

[Both:]

[Angélique Kidjo:]

Goun nounkoun kou ikou lémé

Kpala n'la la

Afatcha idarugbo

Kpala n'la la

[Both:]

You don't have to be old to be wise

A bird doesn't wait 'til it dies to fly

And emptiness is not for me

Fill me up

Fill me up

Spill over me

[Angélique Kidjo:]

Oloriré nin èda

Oloriré ni èda mio

Emin o lérin hoho wa lé

Oriré ni ti agba do

Oloriré nin èda mio

Oloriré ni èda

Emin o lérin hoho wa lé

Oloriré ni èda mio
