Koffi Olomide Lyrics

tala ye kuna minu mpembe
Look at her, she's as white as cotton

koleka nzambala ya pape
Wear the Pope's rosary

If you don't look at her closely you'll miss seeing her sparkle

My weaknesses are revealed by you

point fort na nga mpe yo e e Alya.
My strengths also, are because of you, Alya

bolingo esengi nga audience
Love has turned me into an audience

velo ya kimbambala kumba nga na malueka
A bicycle made for two, I am pedaling it alone

nakende kotala motshima na ngai Mama bébé na ngai
I am wandering aimlessly, with my dear mom and baby

soucis soucis, soucis soucis
Worries, worries, worries...

etondi motema meke
My heart is tired

etie motema na nga tshobo
Tie my heart up in chains

oo kiti ekomi mbeto, loboko ekomi coussin
As small as a kitten, my arms are pillows

melisa nga ata poison que oniokolo nga na mokili
Your kiss is poisonous, it could kill me

amour na ngai, kitoko ya nzete
My love, the beauty of a gazelle

liboso mpe nasima eyebana te
Even when I'm sleeping, I cannot stop thinking of you

Eternity

Ants carrying food, going around the world

I'm stuck here, like a car with faulty brakes

I can't resist, Aliya, going downhill

Listen to the things that concern you, Mr. President

When they tax me, I have to pay the government's assessment

I just see them hanging around on the street corner

babetaka babetaka ba machine
Setting up all sorts of machines

Nzoka, when my mother bends over, it's like she's getting ready to walk

ya mokolo oyo na kweyaka ndeke nga mokonzi
Back in the day when I used to carry a baby in a carrier, like a boss

That's why they say, a mother's beauty is worth it

bino moko balakisaka te namoto ya mpako
But you guys didn't listen to me, to watch over my motorcycle

mama bimaka mais bimaka sukaka obe na balcon
My mother is keeping watch, but she keeps falling asleep on the balcony

moto asalaka intérim ya sanza soki ebimi te
Someone else will play the guitar if I'm not there

They toss insults at you, but still, you are an fallen angel

mpo ya yo beauté vraiment eza na ndoyi te
The beauty you have inside, really can't be described
