Minyanka — Mali
A bà fo musow ni kɛ̀lɛnden
nɛ̀ suba kɛ̀, nɛ̀ fɔ̀lɔ̀ kɛ̀,
nɛ̀ baara kɛ̀ ni bolo,
kà dumuni kɛ̀ tabali kan —
a baara ye nà.
A bà fo ɓɛ̀nɛ̀ ye waati sɔ̀rɔ̀
kà mɔgɔ sàgà,
ye fɛ̀rɛ kɛ̀ dùgù kɔnɔ,
ye kàlà dɔ̀gɔ̀ya kɛ̀ —
a kɛ̀lɛya tɛ̀ tùn.
Galle bɛ̀ kɛ̀ ni kɛ̀lɛ dɔ̀wɔ̀,
dugu bɛ̀ sàgà ni kàlà dɔ̀gɔ̀.
Ko ye kɛ̀ bi, a bɛ̀ sin fɔ̀lɔ̀.
To every mother and father who rises early and rests late,
who works with tired hands to place food on the table
your effort matters.
To those who still find time to help a neighbour,
to share when little remains,
to teach by example even in silence
your kindness is not unseen.
Families are built by daily choices,
and communities are strengthened by quiet care.
What you give today shapes tomorrow.
