S Samba Mousso Ko (Samba) is a track from the album ‘Bolemakoté‘ by Farafina from Burkina Faso, written by Mahama Konaté. It is a song about a man called Samba and his amorous affairs (‘Mousso Ko‘). He is a womanizer (‘Ni kaleman Sa‘). At the end of the month, when he has had his wages, he starts trying to hit on women. Somehow, it is married women he hits on (whether this is because he specifically chooses them or whether married women fall for a man who spends money on them is not entirely clear). The moral, though, is clear: ‘You will never find a woman to marry at the end of the month.’

(V) Nan te mousso fourro ni kalleman sa
