Chico Mawatu
Kamolele ngai guitar oyo ko
Zongisa ngai esika ba pimelaka nga na mokili
Ah si je savais ca

Bolingo Somi Somida
Lolango nayo epayi ya ba susu eh
Ngai ko ekenge lokola liso ko leka nyau eh
Zongisa amour na nga na congelateur

Mokolo yo oko zonga o tiya yango na micro onde
Ko belisa ngai mingi te po oko lia ngai saignant
(Wana oko lia ngai malamu)

Ba zua o
Lolango nayo epayi ya ba susu eh
Ngai ko nzete ya mbila yoyoyo
Bomengo elekelaka wapi

Po bango ba zuaka
Na matanga to na ba feti
Somi somida oko luka ngai
Biso to zelaka se ya Nzambe

Po a pesaka temps plein
Boni yo oko pesanga manga ya mobesu papa
Basi ba kanoli eh
Si je savais ca

Ba zua oh
Bomengo nayo epayi ya basusu eh
Ngai ko nzete ya pondu oh oh
Awa ko otiki nga na zemi

Monoko eko senga tondolo
Na pokwa eko luka ngai ngai
Litonge papa ko zangisa te

Na ko kufa liwa ya ngungi ya nyoka ba bete ba lembe te
Nani a mi boma se po na yesu / To yoka te oh
Ebele ba mi boma kaka se po ya bolingo eh
Si je savais ca

Ba zua oh
Lolango nayo epayi ya ba susu
Ngai ko nzete ya mbila yo yo oh
Bomengo elekelaka wapi / Po bango ba zuaka

Na matanga to na ba feti
Somi Somida oko luka ngai
Biso to zelaka se ya nzambe

Po apesaka temps plein
Boni yo oko pesanga manga ya mobesu papa
Basi ba kanoli eh
Si je savais ca

Ba zua eh eh
Libenga nayo epayi ya basusu eh
Ngai ko nzete ya pondu oh oh

Awa ko otiki nga na zemi
Monoko eko senga ntondolo
Na pokwa eko luka ngai ngai
Litonge papa ko zangisa te

Na ko kufa liwa ya ngungi
Ya nyoka ba bete ba lembe te
Nani a mi boma se po ya Yesu
To yoka te oh

Ebele ba mi boma kaka se po ya bolingo eh
Si je savais ca

Moyi ebimaka se po ya moto nyoso
Basusu bako profiter nango ngo oh
Liboke ya moniga o sombela yango kwanga
Soki oza na mwa ndambo ya espoir ngo oh

Ba decision na zwelaka yo na nzela ya zando
Na miso nayo na komi baba Adam Bombole

Boko leka wapi eh
Na zongi sima
Na kamati position
Deception epayi na nga mbala misato
Eleki mbeka
Na zongi sima

Ki bo mbanda pasi eh
Na zongi sima na kamati position
Ba coups epayi nanga mbala misato eleki mbeka
Na suki awa

Boko leka wapi eh
Na zongi sima
Na kamati position




Deception epayi na nga mbala misato eleki mbeka
Na zongi sima

Overall Meaning

In Madilu System's song "Si Je Savais Ca," the singer laments about the things he would have done differently if he had known better. He starts by acknowledging the mesmerizing effect of a guitar's tune that leaves him lost in thought about his life choices. He then speaks about the unpredictability of love, how he thought he had found its true meaning, but alas, he was wrong. The guitar was a reflection of his life, and if he had known better, he would have taken a different path. The chorus suggests that the singer is stuck in a situation that he cannot escape, and he knows that if he had more information beforehand, he would not have fallen into this trap. He continues to highlight the things he would do differently, such as taking care of his relationship with his partner and his well-being.


The second part of the song talks about the risks of life and how difficult it is to navigate through its unpredictability. The singer compares life to a journey with numerous turning points that could either make or break a person. He also acknowledges the deception that surrounds him and how he wishes he could have known what was coming. The song's last verse talks about the regrets of past actions, the impact of deception on his life, and wishing he would have made different choices.
