About the track:

Tèranga means ‘hospitality’ in Wolof, one of the main
languages in Senegal, and Bah means ‘great’ in
Mandinka, another West African language spoken by
Seckou. So ‘Tèranga Bah’ means ‘great hospitality’.
“For Senegalese people, hospitality isn’t just about being
nice,” Seckou says. “It’s become a BIG ritual – you’ll
find someone who doesn’t have a penny to live on, but
when a stranger arrives, they’ll do anything to make them
feel happy and welcome.” In the song, Seckou sings the
words ‘open the gate, open the gate’. He’s urging the
world to accept Senegalese hospitality and offer the same
hospitality in return.

“In Senegal we say that the arrival
of a stranger is never forever. Someone may come into
your life and leave, or they may come and stay. Therefore
they are only a stranger for a short while, so that welcome
is very important. Like karma, the hospitality may not be
immediately reciprocated, but it may be paid back in a
different generation or a different time somewhere down
the line'.

Amdan y drac:

Mae Téranga yn golygu ‘lletygarwch’ yn Wolof, un o brif ieithoedd Senegal, a golyga Bah ‘mawr’ ym Mandinka, y ddwy yn ieithoedd o Orllewin Affrica a siaredir gan Seckou. Felly, golyga ‘Téranga Bah’ ‘lletygarwch mawr’. “I bobl Senegal, nid yw lletygarwch yn golygu bod yn neis,” meddai Seckou. “Mae wedi troi’n ddefod FAWR, gallwch gwrdd â rhywun heb yr un geiniog, ond pan mae dieithryn yn cyrraedd, ai ati i wneud unrhyw beth er mwyn ei wneud i deimlo’n hapus ac yn gysurus. Yn y gân, mae Seckou’n canu’r geiriau “open the gate, open the gate”. Mae’n cymell y byd i dderbyn lletygarwch Senegal ac i gynnig yr un lletygarwch yn ôl.

“Yn Senegal dywedwn fod dyfodiad dieithryn yn rhywbeth byrhoedlog. Gall rywun ddod i mewn i’ch bywyd a gadael, neu ddod ac aros. Felly dim ond am ychydig bydd yn ddieithryn, gyda hynny mae’r croeso hwnnw’n bwysig iawn. Fel Karma, efallai ni chaiff lletygarwch ei dalu yn ôl ar unwaith, ond efallai mewn gwahanol genhedlaeth neu yn y dyfodol.
