Text: Angelique Kidjo. Orémi. Never Know.

Egbe afon kpodo avi kpo
Do wezoun kan we
Nou de adoo bi vo dowe
Avi djin kpo

Totoe mantin
Nontowe kou bo ye han dowe
Egbe awa toun vive eton
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 eee
'Cause you never know what you've lost
Till it's found
Irorun, irorun, irorun egbamin o

Ado gandji ma djia zon
Gbe nou vivee we
Enin o wou o lin tamin kpon
Bo djo avi do

Gbe elo 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

Mondji irorun kossi mon eee

'Cause you never know what you've lost

Irorun, irorun, irorun egbamin o
