Diplôme bango bazua sé ya matongi eh
Mama abota nga tala makambo
Vraiment
Baninga nalinga balingaka ngai te
Vraiment
Bilei, masanga, ba mbongo
Bakosenga nga napesaka
Licence bango bazua sé ya matongi
Diplôme bango bazua sé ya matongi eh
Mama abota nga tala makambo
Vraiment
Baninga nalinga balingaka ngai te
Vraiment
Bilei, masanga, ba mbongo
Bakosenga nga napesaka
Po nini eh
Bako lukaka na Fatou Djo alembi
Oyo ako senga Francis aluka apesa refuge oh nini
Nani ako longola nga loboko oh
(Na litama na nga)
Nani aya kokabola ba pasi
(Na matongi elongo)
Eh nani ayoka nga?
Ba doléances na ngai muana
Kozua ya ba Zangul esuaka bango na mitema mpo nini eh
Nani ako longola nga loboko oh
(Na litama na nga)
Nani aya kokabola ba pasi
(Na matongi elongo)
Eh nani ayoka nga?
Ba doléances na ngai muana
Kozua ya ba Zangul esuaka bango na mitema mpo nini eh
Lokole ebeti na mboka
Banguna babimi eh
Nani ango atombola mosapi
Pona nga a aider eh
L′éternel est mon berger
Je ne manquerais de rien
Nako sala nyoso
Po nalonga etumba oyo
Nani ako longola nga loboko oh
(Na litama na nga)
Nani aya kokabola ba pasi
(Na matongi elongo)
Eh nani ayoka nga?
Ba doléances na ngai muana
Kozua ya ba Zangul esuaka bango na mitema mpo nini eh
Hypocrisie na ingratitude
Eloko mabe
Napesa nyoso pamba
Bandima ngai te
Luther Mbongo na Christian Gayeko
Eh Garatyga
Nani ako longola nga loboko oh
(Na litama na nga)
Nani aya kokabola ba pasi
(Na matongi elongo)
Eh nani ayoka nga?
Ba doléances na ngai muana
Kozua ya ba Zangul esuaka bango na mitema mpo nini eh
Aïe ma-ma-ma-ma
Butu nalala te sé kokanisa pasi na nga
Ngai awa na beleli
Ayo yo-yo-yo-yo
Yo-yo-yo-yo
Ayo-yo-yo-yo-yo
Souci na nga sé bato ya mokili mitema ebongwana
The lyrics of Extra Musica's song "Matongi" depict a person expressing their frustrations and disappointments with those around them. They start by saying that some people have licenses and diplomas (symbolizing achievements or qualifications), but they are worthless or irrelevant. The person feels neglected by their mother who doesn't pay attention to their problems. They also express that some people pretend to care about them but actually have selfish motives.
The chorus repeats the theme of licenses and diplomas being meaningless and people pretending to care. The bridge questions who is the person they can trust and who is behind their struggles. "Ba doléances na ngai muana" refers to the person's grievances or complaints, while "Kozua ya ba Zangul esuaka bango na mitema mpo nini eh" questions why they continue to have faith or hope in those people.
The song also criticizes hypocrisy and ingratitude, mentioning individuals like Luther Mbongo and Christian Gayeko. The last lines express the person's frustration and their desire to escape from the worries and troubles of the world.
