Angélique Kidjo, Cassandra Wilson - Never Know Lyrics

Featuring Cassandra Wilson
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
