Parking Ya Ba Baba
Koffi Olomide Lyrics

tchatcho, eza mayi
Hey, it's raining

ye ye ye ye mama
Oh oh oh oh mother

mama nga mwana, mama nga mwana nayo mawa
Mother, your child (me), is in trouble

e ma olenga masikini, mosekonzo ma lelisa nga, pasi eleki liloba ebo kobima na mongongo ebongwani pinzoli, na kende koluka na malembe oyo ya nga esika na Parking Ya Ba Baba
This poor area, problems keep following me, the road is full of potholes, debris and mud, I struggle to move forward, the parking lot of the gods (is where) my fate is

mama abota nga na ndako ya esobe, monganga te akosalisa ye, se lumba lumba tongo na pokwa, mama akolisa nga na mawa
Mother remains in her house, the doctor refuses to see her, her body aches, mother suffers from pain

na botama loboko na litama, na motema na suka ya pota, ti lelo nga na komi konuna, makila etika te ko tanga
I put my hands on my head, I feel like crying, today I have no solutions, nothing to do but wait

papa akolisa nga na wangila, na mafuta ya mbila na koli, papa akolisa nga makolo ngulu, lokola moto na kola boye
Father works in the mine, he sweats and breaks his back, father raises his big family, like one who works and cries

nga pourquoi kombo na nga ekoma sukali koleka masanga na coco
Why do I always end up with regrets and pain like unripe fruit

desespoir ekomi na point de non retour, moyi ebimaka pona moto nyonso, est-ce que c'est vrai ça
Despair has reached the point of no return, sadness affects everyone, is this true?

pinzoli na nga lokola ya likoko, na se ya mayi nani akomona, pasi na nga lokola ya imbwa, ata na we matanga te
I crawl like a snail, my feet covered in mud, I walk like a dog, even at my funeral no one will cry for me

a bomengo ekotelaka wapi, nzete tomataki na baninga, ekomaka na tongo na kamwa, lisumu nyonso ekomaka se ya nga mei, na kamwé, pourquoi vraiment eko zwaka se nga, tango nyonso se antoine, pourquoi vraiment toujours se nga, butu moyi papa rocky
Where is the hope, tomatoes wither on the vine, whispered conversations, everything happens to me, with me, why does it always come back to me, every time Antoine, why always me, I miss you Papa Rocky

Mwana ya ndeke na likolo, soki oyoki lelo na leli, yaka ko pesa nga assistance, toleka nga n'o elongo, tongo ti 6 heure tour na nga, y'olelelaka nga soki butu ekoti na mokili, ye ye ye ye mawa
Child of the airplane and the engine, if you hear me today and tomorrow, give me assistance, don't look down on me, it's been 6 hours since I started walking, I would cry if I had shoes, oh oh oh oh trouble

nga pourquio kombo na nga elanguisaka ata bato ba melaka te, vraiment
Why do I keep losing the battles I shouldn't, really?

na botama jour moko na nani, na botama lipasa ya nani, na botama na nyongo ya nani
I wake up to someone's day, I work for someone's money, I sweat for someone's funerals

tchatcho ma perpetuité
Hey, my eternity

molimo ya moto nzambe akela botikani yango ezala ndenge ba botamaka n'ango chance awutaka na nzambe, nani na se oyo aza na mandat ya ko juger baninga, jugement ya solo se ya nzambe, mwana ya ndeke na likolo mama abota nga na ndako ya esobe, ti lelo nga na komi ko nuna makambo etika te kolanda nga, ye ye ye ye wania waya
God's grace decides the outcome, like those who try their luck and wait for God, who has the mandate to judge people, only God's judgment is true, child of the airplane and the engine, mother stays at home, today I only have to tell stories without hope, oh oh oh oh I need a miracle

eh ba welaki coupé, tango batikeli ye coupé, esika partie ya mokili eza te, biso towelaka te malembe mama
Hey, they cut the electricity, when they cut it, the party of the world is over, we can't dance slowly mama

saki ya pamba ekotelemaka te, mayi ya moto okotumbaka elamba te, mangungu jamais ekolonga, biso toza, paroles d'accra mogé, biso tazali
The cloth bag will never last, the water from the motorbike won't fill the bottle, difficulties never end, we are here, words from Accra Moge, we exist

oyo ya nga bomoyi eza te liyoto, oyo alingi awzi nga akeyi, avenir na nga ekoma ya kitendi, nga na komi ko kamwa lelo na lobi ba opposant basepela
What I'm living now is not the end, what I want I will achieve, my future will be brilliant, today I'm fighting my opponents from a distance

balia ngando, papa top mukuluku, e e balia ngando, fula mambu wapi bongania baleke, balia ngando, na enigme ba tuna tour na nga, e e balia ngando, a mwikason
Balia Ngando, Papa Top Mukuluku, hey Balia Ngando, tell me where to find the hidden secrets, Balia Ngando, we are the enigma whose turn it is, hey Balia Ngando, let's make peace

ye ye ye ye mama
Oh oh oh oh mother

mama nga mwana, ngai awa mwana nayo mawa
Mother, your child (me), is in trouble
