(Ayy, mola!)
Back in the days when we were just small
Batié nights, yeah we had it all
Omo, listen to the story
Back in Batié, yeah that was the zone
Childhood dreams, yeah we stood alone
Stubborn little boy, running in the street
Playing football with the dust on my feet
Hide and seek, yeah we loved the game
Life was simple, didn't need no fame
Ngannou was there, yeah my brother too
Just two young boys, nothing else to do
Oh Batié, those were the golden days
Running through the fields in a golden haze
From the village dust to the stars above
Born in the struggle, but raised in love
Yeah, Batié, you're a part of me
Always keep the memories, wild and free
School was a drag, I wasn't feeling the flow
Hiding in the bushes, nowhere to go
Waiting for the bell so I could run back home
In my own world, yeah I used to roam
Then one day, disaster hit the spot
Fell in a well, yeah I gave it all I got
Three meters deep, I was lost in the dark
But the village came through, leaving their mark
Oh Batié, those were the golden days
Running through the fields in a golden haze
From the village dust to the stars above
Born in the struggle, but raised in love
Yeah, Batié, you're a part of me
Always keep the memories, wild and free
Ngannou loved the fight, yeah he loved the ring
Traditional wrestling, that was his thing
Who would have known he’d be reaching the peak?
From the village boy to the world so unique
Oh Batié, those were the golden days
Running through the fields in a golden haze
From the village dust to the stars above
Born in the struggle, but raised in love
Yeah, Batié, you're a part of me
Always keep the memories, wild and free
(Ndem!)
From Batié to the world
Yeah, we keep on rising
On dit quoi? We keep the focus
Batié forever, yeah, we never fold
(Ayy, nyanga!)
