Ferre Gola Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
huku dunia kama mtu anafanya ubaya
itika baba niko mtoto yako
me silali mgeni, me silali mgeni
husinifungie, oh baba yangu, oh
tucheze tucheze, tucheze michezo ya kwetu
tucheze tucheze, tucheze tuvunje kauno
baba ninakuja unihurumie sana nakuomba unihurumie
usikie sababu hasira ni mbaya
me silali kwa mgeni, me silali kwa mgeni
tucheze tucheze, tucheze michezo ya kwetu
tucheze tucheze, tucheze tuvunje kauno
oh mama oh mama, sorry for where we are wrong
oh mama oh mama you show how you love me
and so tonight we dance, mama tonight we dance
in your house we dance
tobina x6
papa azali feti munene mwana zongio
azongio
The lyrics in Ferre Gola's song Tucheze are a plea for mercy and compassion from his father. He asks his father to have mercy on him as he is a child of his. In a world where people do evil deeds, he pleads with his father not to shut him out. He confesses that he cannot sleep as a stranger and therefore asks his father not to lock him out. The chorus, "tucheze tucheze," is an invitation to dance and take part in the cultural games of their region. The song speaks to a sense of community and togetherness, and how dancing can be a way to break down societal barriers.
Ferre Gola's use of "baba" and "mama" in the song illustrate the importance of family and unity. The lyrics are a reminder that, even in times of difficulty, one can always turn to their loved ones for support. The use of Congolese lingala language in the chorus, "tobina," is a call to dance and have fun. This shows the importance of dance and music in African communities as a way of celebrating life.
