‘Wolof Njie Dan Na Wax Naan, Dona Sa Baay, Don Sa Baay A’ko Gen…Di Titarror Sa Wajurr, Sa Wajurr Dila Titarror Ko Gen’ – Youssou N'Dour
Let me try to paraphrase this in English:
In preference to sitting inactive like an apartment, waiting for some
legacy, birthright or inheritance from your Dad; it is better to be
reminiscent of him and harness your own successes and credence … [i.e.
if the father is not a hopeless one ]
Instead of being full of pride as regards the accomplishments of your
parents; it will be healthier if you seek with sincere resolve and
serious hard work to be a success at your own thing and make your
parents feel good and proud of you....
