Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Na loti yo, na moni yo
Elikyah na ngai na lingui yo
Bolingo na bisso, ebanda kala,
Na passi pe na essengo
Na kumissi nkolo, na kumissi nkolo
Lokola mayi na zelo, oye lelo
Tino liwa, tino liwa, tino liwa
Na loti yo, na moni yo
Na loti yo, na moni yo
Elikyah na ngai na lingui yo
Yé o yé Ié mama
Na beleli nkolo a bikissa yo elikyah
Mwana na ngai, ozali lola na ngai
Bomoyi ya famille
Angelou na ngai, na lingui yo
Na kumissi nkolo, na kumissi nkolo
Libosso a benga ngai, na zali na yo
Pona sunga yo tino liwa, tino liwa, tino liwa
Na loti yo, na moni yo
Na loti yo, na moni yo
Elikyah na ngai na lingui yo
The lyrics to Gasandji's song "Na lingui yo" are in Lingala, which is a language spoken in parts of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of the Congo. The song is about love and family, and the importance of cherishing them. The repetition of "na loti yo, na moni yo" translates to "I see you, I know you", while "na lingui yo" means "my love".
The first verse tells of how the singer "followed" and "observed" their love interest, and how they consider them to be their love. The second verse talks about how their love is strong like a river, and how they want to be with their love forever, even after death. The chorus repeats the phrase "Na loti yo, na moni yo, Elikyah na ngai na lingui yo", emphasizing the importance of truly seeing, knowing, and loving someone.
The bridge highlights the singer's family, mentioning an older relative, possibly a grandmother ("Angelou na ngai"), and emphasizing the familial ties that are just as important as romantic love. The last verse speaks about the singer wanting to serve their love and spend time with them. The phrase "tino liwa" means "let's be together".
Overall, Gasandji's "Na lingui yo" is a beautiful love song that emphasizes the value of both romantic and familial love.

Je l’ai découverte à l’époque sur Rfi dans couleur tropical. J’étais jeune étudiant à Brazzaville. Aujourd’hui des années plus tard grand ça m’apporte toujours la même sensation
