Angelique Kidjo - Never Know lyrics

Egbé afon kpodo avi kpo

Do wézoun kan wè

Nou dé adoo bi vo dowé

Avi djin kpo

Totoé mantin

Nontowé kou bo yé han dowé

Egbé awa toun vivé éton

Do gbé towé min

What you want

Is not always what you need

Looking everywhere

Except right in front of me

Inner peace

Or private war

Lose the key

Just when you find the door

'Cause you never know what you've got

Till it's gone

Mondji irorun kossi mon ééé

'Cause you never know what you've lost

Till it's found

Irorun, irorun, irorun egbamin o

Ado gandji ma djia zon

Gbé nou vivéé wé

Enin o wou o lin tamin kpon

Bo djo avi do

Gbè élo wè djo mon min

Min bi do nan sou

Do vivè min wè min bi

Kplon soussou dé

What you want

Is not always what you need

Looking everywhere

Except right in front of me

Inner peace

Or private war

Lose the key

Just when you find the door

'Cause you never know what you've got

Till it's gone

Mondji irorun kossi mon ééé

'Cause you never know what you've lost

Till it's found

Irorun, irorun, irorun egbamin o
