Generate meaning
1
This train slipped into the station
2
A worn out steel blue soul
3
A relic from colonial days
4
When the French were still in control
5
Lorsque les Francais ont ete en controle
6
(When the French were still in control)
7
It's an outpost in transition
8
Where the faithful in the bar
9
Know from the whistle & the squeaking wheels
10
That the next step is Dakar
11
La prochaine etape etait Dakar
12
(The next step is Dakar)
13
Talk on the radio
14
Talk on the street
15
Talk of men with money loco from the heat
16
Picking up the beat
17
Talk about the rail band
18
Picking up the beat
19
We lit that great reunion
20
With the headlights on the jeep
21
And there's history on the jukebox
22
Where the spies & scoundrels dwell
23
It was the place to go in Bamako
24
Direction Buffet Hotel
25
Now were lost in the Sahara
26
Four hours north of Tombouctou
27
Lookin for a nomad who knows
28
Or maybe some wondering Jew
29
Allons a Essakane, Syndou
30
(Get us to Essakane, Syndou)
31
Then we heard that Tuareg combo
32
We had come so very far
33
And we were welcomed out of history
34
By the wind & sand & stars
35
Jai commence a le piercevoir
36
(Im beginning to understand it)
37
Sand in the couscous
38
Sand in the wine
39
There was sand in my guitar case
40
Stories in my mind
41
Machine guns on the hilltop
42
Camels in my tent
43
Buried in a sandstorm
44
As the music came & went
45
Well we crawled out of the desert
46
And the storm erased our tracts
47
The Sahara showed her heart to us
48
And then she took it back
49
I recall diplomats & hookers
50
And I saw strangers digging wells
51
And for that one great night in Bamako
52
We owned Buffet Hotel
53
Nous avons eu Buffet Hotel
54
(We owned the Buffet Hotel)
55
La nuit nous apparient
56
Vive le Buffet
57
Adieu A Bientot-Farewell
