Buka jene wa ngedi te
Na ma sukane boa njo weke, woko
Ndutu e bo mba yo
Na ma sukane nde ño poisin ñol′ango
Ayo wo we ate
Sese e ma pula so bwa mba mulema
Hm ngon'a mulato o ya e
Na tondi wa na iwiye
Ñongo a langwedi mba na je diye
Nde nika e titi mbale o
We e we ate
Sese e ma pula so bwa mba mulema
Ye nde ñol′ango o Toutou o
Ndenge e bo mba yo na bene te bema
Ke na po bupe wa e o Frenci
Na tondi o wa etum'a mimbu o si lange
Nde o wele nde mulema na kolo kolo
Ka dibongo l'etambi
Na nika pe so Mercedes ma titi no mba o dia
A muna yeye o mene nde mba ka bebunga ba biondo
Son son e bola to mba duta longo
Naleye mo ka mbo ñena ni kusi tika ewese
Ya e we ate
Ebabadi e se jita yo a ngon′a mulato
Ñong′ango e e bo mba
Sese e ma tuma mba mulema
Hm ngon'a mulato o ya e
Ebabadi e se jita yo na ni sese e bo
Toutou o ya mba bebe nde e bo o
The lyrics to Eboa Lotin's song Ngon' A Mulato are in the Cameroonian language Duala and tell a story of a man who falls in love with a biracial woman, referred to as "ngon'a mulato," which translates to "mulatto woman." The woman is described as being beautiful, causing the man to feel a strong attraction towards her.
Throughout the song, the man describes his love for the woman, how much he desires her, and how he is willing to do anything to be with her. He also sings about the challenges faced by their interracial relationship, such as people who don't understand their love and cultural differences. However, he remains determined to be with her, no matter what anyone says.
The song is a prime example of the blending of various cultures in Cameroon, where people of different ethnicities and backgrounds come together to create a unique heritage. It also highlights the theme of love overcoming prejudice and societal barriers.

Pourquoi faut il k ce soit toujours les meilleurs ki partent les premiers ? Pour moi, il est sans conteste le grand artiste Camerounais de tous les temps.
Comment on peut-être aussi bon ds ce kon fait ? Kel talent !!! Cette mélodie, mem si on n comprend pas le message, vous penetre au plus profond de votre âme. Des decenies après, cette chanson (pour ne pas dire tout le répertoire de l artiste)a toujours le mem effet.
Un grand esprit ne meurt pas 😇😇

Obrigada por me conectar com o meu homem de uma forma tão intensa de amor onde senti o flow e só seguimos fluindo... um momento inesquecível vivido em um hotel na rua da Bahia de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brasil. Seguimos excited como esse incrível artista que nos conecta.
