Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bisika miso ya nzoto emonaka te
Pona kokolisa kondima ya bana na yo
Kiti na yo ezali
Ya molimo kasi ya nzoto te
Eza bosembo na yesus
Po moto a mona
Kiti na yo
Esengueli ya zala sembo
Si ya kou bomba yesus wani
Kotisa ngai na makila na yo oooh
Na mona bosembo na yo
Bose bose bosembo (bosembo na yo)
Bose bose bosembo (bosembo na yesus
Eh eh eh)
