Ba Yebi Te
Kaysha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do they really know
How much I care for you
Do they really understand
What’s between you and me
Only God knows, and they don’t know
Ba yebi te, ndenge na lingaka yo
Baby, have you ever cried like I cried for you
We ain’t got nothing to prove girl
I’m your friend, I am your lover, I’m your husband
I’m your friend, I am your lover, I’m your husband
Ba yebi te, ndenge na lingaka yo
Ba yebi te, ndenge na lingaka yo
Ba yebi te, ndenge na lingaka yo
Ba yebi te, ndenge na lingaka yo
(Top One)
Pesa bango sango
Na koya kokanga lopango
Mokolo ya lomingo
Ba yebi te, ya nga na yo e komama na likolo
I’m your friend, I am your lover, I’m your husband
I’m your friend, I am your lover, I’m your husband
Ba yebi te, ndenge na lingaka yo
Ba yebi te, ndenge na lingaka yo
Ba yebi te, ba yebi te ndenge na lingaka yo
Na kobala yo celi
Yo na nga? kino liwa
Ba yebi te e… i….
Ba yebi te, ndenge na lingaka yo
Ba yebi te, ndenge na lingaka yo
O nga na lingaka yo ko leka kutu nionso na mokili oyo yo yo yo yo
Ya nga na yo lokola Olivier Doumou na o ‘ya ye motema
Ya nga na yo e kozala lokola Providence Niazaire na Mutima na yandi i
Ya nga na yo e kozala lokola Son Excellence Engambe Edo na Mama Cathy NDjolie
Ba yebi te, ba yebi te
Ndegue na lingaka yo
Veux dire na za na liloba kaka moko po na yo Mama Lucie,
Po na yo Mama Silvie Mabaya
Po na yo Mama Edith…
Biso Bana na Bino, to lelaka bino
Ba temps tout
Butu to moyi, to sambelaka pona bino
Alleluya
Maseltove Diamentaire a pesi bino mbote
Bo bina nzembo oyo
ba temps tout na ba pere na biso
Mibali oyo bino bo lelaka, oyo bo lingaka
Mibali ya mintima
The song "Ba Yebi Te" by Kaysha is a love song that reflects on the depth of love and care the singer, presumably Kaysha, has for his partner. He questions whether the people around them truly understand their relationship and how much he cares about her. He affirms his commitment to her by stating that he is not just her lover but also her friend and husband. The lyrics "nobody knows except for God" imply that their love is private and sacred. In the second verse, Top One comes in with a rap verse that compliments the main narrative with similar messaging.
The chorus "Ba yebi te, ndenge na lingaka yo" is in Lingala, a language spoken mainly in the Democratic Republic of Congo and parts of Congo Brazzaville. It means "they don't know how much I love you." The use of Lingala in the song gives it a unique depth and allows Kaysha to connect with a broader demographic of African music lovers. The song's beat is a blend of Afrobeat and RnB, making it perfect for romantic dances.
