Never Know Lyrics

by Cassandra Wilson

Egbe' afon kpodo avi kpo
Do we'zoun kan we`
Nou de' adoo bi vo dowe'
Avi djin kpo
Totoe' mantin
Nontowe' kou bo ye' han dowe'
Egbe' awa toun vive' e'ton
Do gbe' towe' 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 e'e'e'
'Cause you never know what you've lost
Till it's found

Irorun, irorun, irorun egbamin o
Ado gandji ma djia zon
Gbe' nou vive'e' we'
Enin o wou o lin tamin kpon
Bo djo avi do
Gbe` e'lo we` djo mon min
Min bi do nan sou
Do vive` min we` min bi
Kplon soussou de'
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 e'e'e'
'Cause you never know what you've lost
Till it's found
Irorun, irorun, irorun egbamin o
