Youssou N'dour - Li Ma Weesu (As In A Mirror) lyrics

My past always comes back as in a mirror

Sometimes I look back to my past life

With regret or pride

When I'm around the children I love, they dance and I guide

Them and I express myself in such a way that I want to be a

Child again and never grow older

The longer I stay away, the more forgetful I am

The older I grow, the more I look back to the past

And want to be a child again

My past always comes back as in a mirror

Sometimes I look back to my past life

With regret or pride

When I'm around the children I love, I feel happy again

They dance, I guide them and express myself in such a way

That I want to be a child again and never grow older

The closer I am, the farther I feel

The farther I am, the closer I feel

The longer I stay away, the more forgetful I am

The older I grow, the more I look back to the past

And want to be a child again

My past always comes back as in a mirror
