Never Know - Angélique Kidjo, Cassandra Wilson

Egb afon kpodo avi kpo

Do wzoun kan w

Nou d adoo bi vo dow

Avi djin kpo

Toto mantin

Nontow kou bo yhan dow

Egb awa toun viv ton

Do g tow 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 we never know what we’ve got

Till it’s gone

(Mondji irorun kossi mon)

'Cause we never know what we’ve lost

Till it’s found

(Irorun, irorun, irorun egbamin o)

Ado gandji ma djia zon

Gb nou viv

Enin o wou o lin tamin kpon

Bo djo avi do

Gblo wdjo mon min

Min bi do nan sou

Do viv min w min bi

Kplon soussou d

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 we never know what we’ve got

Till it’s gone

(Mondji irorun kossi mon)

'Cause we never know what we’ve lost

Till it’s found

(Irorun, irorun, irorun, egbamin o)

'Cause we never know what we’ve got

Till it’s gone

'Cause we never know what we’ve lost

Till it’s found

'Cause we never know what we’ve got

Till it’s gone

(Mondji irorun kossi mon)

'Cause we never know what we’ve lost

Till it’s found

(Irorun, irorun, irorun egbamin o)
