[Intro: Pa Salieu]
Yeah, just energies, yeah?
[Verse 1: Naomi]
That sister thing
That twin thing
It's like a foreign country
It's like a foreign country
[Verse 2: Maya Dagnino]
Twins are spirits of a higher rank
Here to honour a lineage and convey a message from the Heavens
They share the mother's womb
Treat them with complete equity
As they are duplicate forms of the same spirit
Ibeyis are the ultimate harmony between two people
Two people
[Verse 3: Maya Dagnino]
Je vous ai attendues
Vous êtes là
Vous êtes là
Le plus beau des cadeaux de la vie
[Outro: Pa Salieu & Naomi]
Don't be shy, stand off and talk
Don't be afraid, stand off and then talk
Come on, feel that spirit, stand off—
Don't get me carried away, I told you, I told you
Dangerous (Come on, free the spirit)
Free up the spirits
Free the spirits

What did Ibeyi say about "Foreign Country"?
It was meant to be a song, and then we made this interlude, which I love. It’s really genuine, and Pa is doing all the ad-libs. It was just having fun. […] We didn’t see [what it meant to be twins]. Richard, he was looking at something with his daughter, and it was saying the sister thing, the twin...
What have the artists said about the song?
And there’s samples. There’s our mom talking about what it means to be twins, and there’s also a personal message from her. And there’s Naomi saying this sentence that we heard.
