[LYRICS (WOLOF)] Sa bopp la nga am Sa doole la nga yor Benn réew, benn xol Yéewu! Jàmm rekk Xam sa bopp! Jóg! Benn réew, benn doole! Xam sa bopp! Sa xol day wax Sa doole du jeex Xam sa bopp! Jóg! Benn réew, benn doole! Xam sa bopp! _____________ [TRANSLATION] You possess yourself. You carry your strength. One nation, one heart. Wake up. Only peace. Know yourself. Rise. One nation, one strength. Know yourself. Your heart speaks. Your strength does not end. Know yourself. Rise. One nation, one strength. Know yourself. _____________ [EXPLANATION] “Xam Sa Bopp” centers on a core principle in Wolof philosophy: self-knowledge as the foundation of dignity. The phrase “xam sa bopp” literally means “know yourself,” but culturally it implies understanding one’s lineage, responsibilities, and inner strength. This is not a song of spectacle or conquest. It is a declaration of rootedness. Strength here is not aggression. It is continuity. [Words, Production, and Direction by Noizgenie.] [Cover Art Direction by Noizgenie. © 2026 Noizgenie.]
