I found the following translation of the lyrics done by someone named Solulacia...
"Sabali sabali sabali yonkonte" refers to "wisdom" repeated thrice [sabali means wisdom]. The phrase carries the connotation similar to "reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic" will bring wisdom to you. The imperative "yonkonte" is stated as emphasis and means something like, "do it, as I say to you". Kind of like, "Do you get it?"
Sabali sabali sabali yonkontê - patience, patience is worth everything
Sabali sabali sabali Kayi - patince, patience is good
ni kêra môgô - when you love someone."
Personally, I believe women hold up way more than just "half the sky", and for that I am grateful.

I listen to music for the feel of it too, mostly instrumental and world music. My friends tease me by asking whether I know there are songs sung in English as well. I guess I like to have a more direct experience of the music (and words I don't know the meaning of).
