Koffi Olomide Lyrics

Leki Ya Djonink'o yaya na Didi Olomide
The beloved child of Djonink'o and Didi Olomide

Saint James Rolls viens secher les larmes de Papa
Saint James Rolls, come and dry Papa's tears

Mayi ekomi nga na mongongo é
Tears have filled my eyes

Dans pas longtemps na ko perdre vie
Soon I will lose my life

Matanga na nga déjà bokoki obanda
My mourning has already begun

Ndenge bokanaki na ba plans na bino
As you make your plans

Del Pirlo Mourinho viens c'est papa
Del Pirlo Mourinho, come, it's Papa

Est-ce que moto akobetaka mbonda
Does a person cry alone?

Azali obligé il faut ayeba obina embonga
He is forced to reveal his hidden sorrows

Mama ayebisaka nga Antoine po obonga
Mama told Antoine about my wailing

Zala bobota na baninga ba yo
Stay strong among your people

Luka mayele ya koyeba prix ya kwanga ee
Look at the cost of your suffering

Est-ce que libanga bako bambaka mbuna ya kotela
Do the lies they tell outweigh the truth?

Est-ce Eza na probleme ya mbuna oyo etela
Is there a problem with revealing this truth?

Moto abambaka libanga na mbuma ya kotela
People hide the truth in the depths of their hearts

Ayebi ndenge nini que un jour akokoma pe cible te
He knows that one day he will not be the target anymore

Peut etre qu'un jour akokoma pe mbuma ya kotela
Maybe one day he will no longer hide the truth in his heart

Na boyi na nga nkombo na ngai
I have found my purpose

Botika nga na kolisa Del Pirlo
Wait for me to meet Del Pirlo

I have found my strength

Wait and see what Saint James will do

Mama told Antoine about my wailing

Na mosala mipesa nuit et jour
I pray day and night

Papa ayebisaki nga Antoine po ozwa kimia
Papa told Antoine about the truth

Toujours tosaka mibeko ya Nzambe
Always keep the commandments of God

Mama ayebisaki nga tango ozala elenge
Mama told you when you were young

Luka oyeba ata prix mongbele
Look at the price of forgiveness

If I let my heart pour out, it will turn into butter and smear my face

Sima na nga oo moto abela te eee nzala ekota te eee
I am exhausted, people don't understand, hunger never ends

What can I do when my soul is grieving?

Kaka kombo na nga Mopao moloki oo mwana Mami
Just remember my name, Mopao, the child of Mami

Babosani nkolo barabas bwala ntama ye ye Nazonga mboka yo yo
Lord, they hurt Barabas and welcomed Nazonga to my land

Even in my land, people die, and who knows why?

Yo yo Anna moyala ee Didi Olomide
Oh, Didi Olomide, you are a shining star

Lokola bobotoli nga Montfleury botikela nga ata mikonga
Like a pearl, I stand on Montfleury without blemish

Po soki na komi na mikonga bayini ba nga ba ko diminuer
But if I step on thorns, my words will decrease

Lokola bobotoli nga mercedes bokotisa nga na komi
Like a pearl, a Mercedes will crush me

Po soki bokuti nga na banc ya kombi na
But if they push me into a van

Kokoma moto malamu bongo na sima boseka nga
I will bring a good person, but he will laugh at me

Congolais alingi se souffrance ya moto soki o progresser bakomi bayini
Congolese people desire the suffering of others when they progress

Infraction na nga elevation na nga yo yo yo
My offenses, my elevation

Infraction na nga organisation na nga yo yo yo
My offenses, my organization

They made him a case

The Bible is the word of God, but the handwriting of God does not exist

Ba to pe bakoma kolimbola ça depend ndenge a comprendre
They may argue about it, depending on how they understand

Kasi realité ezali kaka kobongwana discernement mwana mama ee
But reality is only understood by the discernment of a child

Kokanisela moninga mabe te
To deceive a good person

Le seul Dieu ayebi mitema ya nga na yo mokili eza se ya Nzambe
The only God knows the desires of my heart, the world is the Lord's

Ye moko nde a ko juger biso
He alone will judge us

Eza te lokola omoni nga naza kotafuna okanisi naza kolia mosuni
It's not like you see me chewing gum, I am eating my tears

Peut etre simple chewing-gum
Maybe just a piece of chewing gum

Peut etre lipa ezanga ata beurr e
Maybe the word is even butter

Peut etre mwa kimbiolongo
Maybe in foreign languages

Héé Peut etre mwa mogomboro eee
Hmmm, maybe in mysterious ways

Ba juifs bandimaka Yesu mwana Nzambe kaka mokolo asekwaki
The Jews killed Jesus, the Son of God, just a few days ago

Lokola na zangi nguya ya kosekwa nguya na nga na loyembo
Like a thief, I was caught by my own song

Mosal Nzambe apesa nga ee
God's grace is sufficient for me

Na boma nani ee na imita nani ya ngo na
In whose house should I imitate them

Yiba nani vraiment na zonga ata bebe ee
Tell me who truly comes back after dying

All my tears are just my strength

Ata 2ieme guerre mondiale provocateur kaka Grand Mopao mawa
Even the Second World War only provokes fear for Grand Mopao

Nzambe katela nga eteni nga ya mokili na surnomme yango gibeciere
God protects me, so they call me a lucky charm

Pona bomba pasi pe mawa na nga bisengo na nga ezwi forfait ya lei ooo
To overcome my fears, my joy and my happiness are a forfeit

Nzambe yako tala ee meme akoti zamba oo meme
God, you are great, you created the universe

Kutu pata esantu aloba te kasi mokili etia ya mbeli
Even if the foot doesn't speak, the world testifies about the past

Bongo nga mosumuki ata kusu kutu asepelaka ndenge azali
But I can't even explain how it is

Ye moko ayebi esengo na ye esika ezalaka botika nga na vivre na nga
He alone knows his joy and where he is going to live

Ya na miokolo Nzambe apesa nga na mokili Moto te akoki kolongala yango
Through my tears, God gives me life, and I can't complain about it

Moto pe te akoki kobakisa yango ata na kati
People can't even oppose it

Bible Nzambe akoma te mokolo na ko kufa ee mawa
The Bible is enough, even on the day I die, oh fear

Soki Nzambe akomaki nde bayini na
If God approves, then it is okay

Nga ba soulingna ekoma promesse na bango
My swearing-in becomes their promise
