Born in Kisangani, Democratic Republic of Congo to a Congolese mother and Ghanaian father, Koffi grew up in Kinshasa.
He went to France to study, while in Paris, he began playing the guitar and writing songs. On his return to Congo he was a member of Viva la Musica, Papa Wemba's band. Koffi repopularized the slower style of soukous, which had fallen out of fashion. He dubbed this style Tcha Tcho, and it gained popularity outside Congo.

Mawa ehh ngayi mawa

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Koffi Olomide's "Kiki Ewing" are complex and difficult to translate, but there are a few themes that emerge. The song is partly about love and relationships, with Koffi singing about his own experiences with women who have betrayed him. He also sings about the gigolo Kiki Ewing, who is apparently a well-known figure in the Congolese music scene. The lyrics explore the tension between love and betrayal, and suggest that even those who seem to have it all (like Kiki Ewing) can be vulnerable.

There are also a few sections of the song that are difficult to interpret without context. For example, Koffi mentions Eva and Adam in one line, which could be a reference to the biblical story of the Garden of Eden. He also references a few names that may be familiar to Congolese music fans, such as Guerin Bakoto and Dezy Tuluka.

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 ...
