Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somo eh, bolingo eh, ebotaka mawa
i lov u baby.

Oh, cette fois ci ngai naye epai na yo,
oyebisa nga soki vraiment na motema na yo olingaka jean jacques Mutuale.
(Soki vraiment olingaka na motema)

Kosaka nga ata kokosa ke olingaka nga,
ne fût ce que ata un jour,
ce sera vraiment le plus beau jour de ma vie.

Souci enokisi mvula na motema na ngai,
maloba ya kamul inter buldozer
ekozala parapluie na memoire ya romainLokwa Ikondo.

Oh oh, Jean Jacqques Mutuale
tu parais comme un prince charmant,
soki nga na s'approcher pembeni na yo
na vivaka printemps avec prolongation.

Oh, Oh, ngay
Yo negligé nga, je suis perdu,
nazali awa sans espoir,
traumatisme carnivore te
kasi eliaka nzoto ya moto aimé, Ambassadeur Vote Singa supérieur.

hum décision finale ya vie ya moto
se na maboko ya Nzambe,
kasi pona libala na yo,
na kosenga na Nzambe
amour na yo ezala se nga.

bolingo na yo epai na nga,
lokola likasa na nzete,
mopepe eye makasi ekweyisi likasa
nani akokoka lisusu kozongisa bolingo yango.

Nakokamwa, na bolingo,
yuma azalaka te, yankee pe azalaka te,
amara osilisi nga lolendo na nzoto,
motema na ngai ekomi fragile koleka kutu tympan ya ba bebe.

Ndenge nini na mokili,
moto alingaka akobongwana assassin na yo,
bolingo eza bowumbu, kotonda na yo appétit ya moto oyo olingaka, Vote Singa Ambassadeur, freddy Kwanza, Egide bimabima

Réfrain:
Mama miya, amara boni osali nga nko,
tango ekokaki te okati no amour,
amara na nga top model,
moto azokufa bino bokanisi azo kosa,
amara ya bolingo no e souler nga eh,
koboya te, aa, nakolinga na nga yo eh, eh
Tika nga te ah sentiment na nga yo eh

Tango nga nalelaka eh, Vote Singa oza wapi eh,
(réf)

Mosika na yo, quel Calvaire,
pembeni na yo paradis,
na linga Egide bimabima, Freddy Kwanza benga amara
(réf)

Love yo moko olobaki oza misapi
nga lindanda




beta beta beta nga
(réf)

Overall Meaning

The song Calvaire by Koffi Olomide is a love song with a message of devotion to a woman who the singer affectionately refers to as "baby". The song is saturated with metaphorical language with various references made to Jean Jacques Mutuale, who seems to be an object of envy by the singer. The chorus of the song features the repetition of the phrase "amara na nga", which roughly translates to "you love me" in Lingala. The singer expresses his emotional state of being lost and neglected, and he finds solace in the love that the woman has for him.


Throughout the song, Koffi Olomide extols the virtues of love while comparing the lady's beauty to that of paradise. We also see the singer appeal to a higher power for guidance, suggesting that his ultimate decision is in God's hands. The song is an excellent example of Koffi Olomide's poetic and lyrical abilities, as well as his mastery of the Lingala language.

Your love is on a plate


I am lying down and thinking of you now


My eggplant, my eggplant


My eggplant, Blaise Mawengue


I have been calling you for days now, my darling


Even if the days go by, I will never get tired of waiting for you


But I can't be left hanging like this


Why do you keep playing with my eggplant, my dear?


She said the beating of her heart for her loved one is like that of an eggplant


But you won't let me stand up and get going


You had me search for love everywhere, in lifts and staircases


You can go as slow as you want but not too slow


If they don't want you, you're like an old engine


Keep going, go ahead like King Georges' palace


If they don't hire you, you're like a car with no engine


He catches you off guard


We were lost in the rain... silent Mawengue


I begged you to love me, but you played me instead


You are the apple of my eyes, sweetheart


Where can I take you to show my love? Any suggestions?


My love, I only have one child, and I call him Daddy


God gave him life and he speaks


If he insults me and you don't defend me, I'll leave


God is on my side


Look, today I am wearing Mawete's clothes


Look today and see


A three-day-old baby doesn't cry


We take care of him but he is still a baby


Even a slight fever makes him cry


I keep making things complicated and confusing myself


That's why I love and desire you, Blaise


The wise man told me that I won't die of love sickness


My friend told me to say: my darling, I love you


Take care of the baby, he is still young


All these days, it's only been me and the baby


Today, change my food


All these days, you've been taking, my darling. Today it's my turn


I'm searching for ways to win you over, as I always have


I am counting and recounting all the times we've been together


If counting the times I've loved you is counting


I will go and get us tickets to see each other


People are normal but I always seem to have a C-section


My darling, tell me


Do you want to or not? I will go and get us tickets


Stop playing with my eggplant


Nkusu said that you were never meant to be together


The goat said he smelled bad and never took a bath


The ant said he tasted sour


The mouse said he was too skinny and never ate enough


My love, it's time to share


My love is good


It looks like you are calling out for help, and everyone hears


The shoes I have are like old, worn-out tires


Corn is my favourite thing to eat, but it's expensive


It's coming from my heart and my worries, too ...
