You'll Never Know how much I miss you
my babe
You'll Never Know how much I care

yo ozali moyi na ngai
foloio na ngai ya talo
kotika ngai te soki otiki ngai

You'll Never Know how much I miss you
my babe
You'll Never Know how much I love you

voix parlèe:
I love you
you are so far from me
I miss you and I love you

yo ozali moyi na ngai
Foloio na ngai ya talo
kotika ngai te soki otiki ngai

You'll Never Know how much I miss you
You'll Never Know how much I love you




You can't imagine how much I care for you
oh yes I do I love you yo wa ngai

Overall Meaning

In Lokua Kanza's song "You'll Never Know," the singer is expressing deep sadness and longing for a person they love intensely. The repetition of the phrases, "You'll Never Know how much I miss you, my babe" and "You'll Never Know how much I love you," emphasizes the singer's inability to express their true feelings to their loved one. The verses in Lingala, a language commonly spoken in Central Africa, add to the emotional weight of the song.


The line "yo ozali moyi na ngai" translates to "you are my heart" in English, and "foloio na ngai ya talo" means "my happiness." The next line, "kotika ngai te soki otiki ngai na kowa" can be translated to "don't leave me alone, even if you have to come and take me." These lines speak to the singer's intense desire to be with their loved one, to the point where they don't want to be alone, even if it means leaving everything behind.


The spoken words in the middle of the song also reveal the singer's longing and love for the person they are singing about. They say, "I love you, you are so far from me, I miss you and I love you." The song is a beautiful expression of the pain and joy of deep love, and how sometimes it's difficult to communicate those feelings to the person we love.

S'il te plaît lokwa.C'est l'une de tes meilleures chanson, sinon la meilleure.Fait lui un clip.Celle chanson n'est même pas sur youtube.C'est pas normal.

@tonyjubile7453

C'était ton meilleur album Lokwa.Il est merveilleux cet album.Mais apparemment tu ne le sais pas.Et tu l'as un peu négligé.Pas de clip pour cette merveilleuse chanson.Pas de concerts pour cet extraordinaire album.Je ne sais pas pourquoi.Mais je crois que ton humilité t'a joué un mauvais tour.
