June 13 is International Albinism Awareness Day. To celebrate this year, Salif Keita Foundations invite you to come and sing that “it’s the difference that is pretty” in a virtual video remake of my song “The Difference”. You could record your video and send it to us for your participation in this virtual video that will help raise awareness of albinism around the world. To make your video, try several times before recording. Play the song wearing headphones so that the sound of the music cannot be heard in the recording. We just want to hear your voice in the High Definition MP4 recording that you are going to send. Do not worry if you do not have perfect voices, but try to stay above all with the time of the music and the lyrics. We are going to mix everything for a perfect video! Thank you for your participation!

LA DIFFERENCE (Lyrics)

By Salif Keita

Je suis un noir

Ma peau est blanche

Et moi j’aime bien ça

C’est La Différence qui est jolie

Je suis un blanc

Mon sang est noir

Et moi j’adore ça

C’est La Différence qui est jolie

Je voudrais

Que nous nous entendions dans l’amour

Que nous nous comprenions dans l’amour et dans la paix

(Refrain) (Chorus) x2:

La vie sera belle x3

Chacun à son tour aura son amour

La vie sera belle x3

Chacun dans l’honneur

Aura son bonheur

La vie sera belle

Dô finai bai

Dô djélè

Dô kagni

Dô magni

O bai yé couleur kaon ka gnyoro dafa

(Chorus)

Ny y bai né fai

Y yé né ka fima fai

Fima bai né fai

Né finé dô

Ny y bai né fai

Y yé né ka djémai fai

Djémain bai né fai

Né djélè do

Ny fina

A li yérè kai é bachi yé

Allah yé fima dai

Djéma dai kan ka gnorota kan ka gnoro dafa

(Refrain) (Chorus) x3
