pomme verte
Koffi Olomide Lyrics

lilala na nga bb, mignon, pomme verte na nga
I'm lying down, darling, my green apple.

il est minuit passé, na kangi misu, kasi pongi ézo ya té
It's past midnight, I'm drinking, but the taste is not there.

pomme verte na nga eh, naza na molili eeehh
My green apple, I'm in paradise.

est-ce que ti tongo étana bb, bb mignon vraiment est-ce qu'o ko ya té
Do you feel it, darling? Do you really understand?

Ali soki o fonctionner bongo, bb na nga o signé arret de mort na nga
If you work it, darling, I will sign my own death warrant.

nzoto na yo ézali té lipa
Your body is priceless.

maboko n'o éza ya boulangère té, kasi équilibre na nga ézalaka kaka soki maboko n'o é simbi nga
Your hands are not a baker's, but my balance depends on them, even though they are light as feathers.

maboko n'o éza ya boulangère té, é zalaka kaka soki o simbi makasi
Your hands are not a baker's, but they still have strength when you hold me tight.

Laisse encore tes mains sur mon corps, chaques morceaux de mon tout s'avouent vaincus
Leave your hands on my body, every part of me admits defeat.

Soleil ya motéma na ngai, yaka bb, yoka nga tangu
My heart's sun, shine on me, watch over me.

yaka o pésa nga mon ami, éternité oyo ézalaka na ba jeux na regard na yo
Give me eternity, my friend, the one that carries games in its gaze.

yo o za wa ngai, ngai pé naza wa yo
You are mine, and I am yours.

yo moko o yébi formule 'ango
Only you know the formula.

pourquoi o nkomi ko tinga nga na luka, lukaka yo na bisika oyo na bombaka yo té
Why do you make me suffer so much? You know that the way you affect me is not fair.

fait de moi ton menu du jour, de chaque jour de ma vie tu es l'amour
Make me your daily dish, you are the love of my life every day.

Ali, soki o séngi nga ruelle, naza capable na saléla yo boulevard
If you lead me down an alley, I'm capable of turning it into a boulevard for you.

l'amour est un oiseau volage
Love is a flighty bird.

dans ton envol bb prends moi sur tes ailes iiiiii hii ihh! na lingi, na lingi, na lingi yé
In your flight, take me on your wings. I love you, I love you, I love you.

ata na lié na tondi, na ko pésa 'ango na mutu té na ko bwaka 'ango na fulu
Even if I die and fall, I will still love you with all my heart and soul.

moto ya liboma soki a lokoti a ko yéba valeur na ngo té, suka suka a ko bwaka
A person who doesn't appreciate value will be unhappy no matter what they receive.

na ko landa mutu ya liboma ti mokolo a ko bwaka eh, na ko lokota bolingo na nga ébotama ya sika
I will teach the person without value a lesson, and I will show them the love that is timeless.

My sweet love.

They tried to tempt me, they tried everything, but I choose you, my sweet cake. Your sweetness is unmatched.

Love of a mother's child.

It's like a baobab on the horizon, and it will remain there for the rest of my life.

Love of a mother's child, come back home.

Love of a mother's child, there's nothing like it.

bolingo'a mwana mama innocent
Innocent love of a mother's child.

midi ékoki, ngoya eh! ba mvwama likolo ya table bisso batu ya passi na sé koléla mokolo nini na ko koma mvwama na bolingo na loli aleka bongo tango midi éko koma akuta nga likolo na motema na yo
Noon is approaching, oh boy! We have work to do at the table. When will we become tired of the sweetness of love? But at noon, when I remember the table in your heart, I become anxious.

mbula ya bolingo tango ébandaki ézalaki oyo ya porte, kasi lélo na kamwé ndéngé é bongwami déluge ya noé kutu bien, ézalaka 40 jours et 40 nuits kasi na ékonoka vie na nga mobimba
The rain of love, when it began, was like Noah's ark, but today where I find myself is a deluge. It lasted 40 days and nights, but I'm still struggling to live a meaningful life.

Nasi na lingi, na suki nako linga lisusu té bolingo n'o élékéli nga bolingo n'o vraiment sensible na ko tikala wana natingami sé wana, rozana dodoli, florentine mama gentillle denide ba mbogo
I chose you, I liked you, and I'm still in love with you. Your love is dear to me and really sensitive. I can't live without it. You are my queen, Rozana Dodoli, Florentine, gentle mother of the Denide clan.

I'm crying! If you decide to hunt the dogs that bark, the rain will discourage them. Don't discourage my heart. It's me, Ali, Charli James.

Willi together with the other CEOs were bombing the managers, Jean Francois bombarded Iraq. And each one was saying Paccino. Willi calls you by name. Ah, Wololo, Wololo, Wololo, Elodie the maintenance lady.

ce n'est pas vrai, ce n'est pas vrai boyoka ya nga pabel oya yanga choix nassala é bélisi nga maladie ya bokono é zanga kisi ata kutu docteur y'o kotisi nga kélasi ya ba je m'en fou ata soki na yoki makambo ya mabé nakoma kilawu est-ce yo ndé mopadi na nga oyo nzambé akéla
It's not true, it's not true that you're leaving me. Come back, I choose you. You gave me a disease of the heart, and since you're not a doctor, you prescribed me a dose of indifference. But if I hear something true, I'm going to go crazy. Is this the punishment from God that you're giving me?

ba tunélaka nzambé méka makila mais ba tunéli nga ya ko kawuka étoile é vandaka péné na sanza na kumul é s'éloigné mobangé a lulaka péné, na musika té mama, na lingi papi kamba eehh, mopao
They talk to God on the phone, but when they give me a call, it's only to gossip. The star that was falling gets stuck on the string and moves away. The frog cried so much for nothing, and my mother, I miss her so much. I love Papi Kamba, Mopao.
