Po moto o simbi eh, vraiment a batelami
Nguya na yo, ezali nguya ya solo
Molimo na yo, aza molimo na nguyaaaaaa,
Molimo na nguya
Na beleli yo, kita nkolo o simba ngai
Po moto o simbi eh, vraiment a batelami
Nguya na yo, ezali nguya ya solo
Molimo na nguya
Yesu sala
Sala motema na ngai ekomi ko banga
Yesu sala
Sala bomoyi na ngai ekomi na suka
Yesu sala eh
Tala banguna na ngai bakomi ko tshola ngai eh
Yesu sala
Sala motema na ngai ekomi ko lenga
Yesu sala
Sala bomoyi na ngai ekomi na suka
Yaya sala eh
Tala banguna na ngai bakomi ko tshola ngai eh
Na lilita ya lazalo, elombe mobali o telemi
O sekuosi lazalo, otunaki ata posa na ye te
Na nguya ya lisekua po yesu yo moko lisekua,
Yo moko lisekua
Na lilita ya lazalo, elombe mobali o telemi
O sekuosi lazalo, otunaki ata posa na ye te
Na nguya ya lisekua po yesu yo moko lisekua,
Yo moko lisekua
YHWH, zala nguba na ngai
Bomba ngai eh, YHWH batela ngai
Po ngai muana na yo na pengua te
Na masenginia ya mokili oyo
Na masumu eh, na se na moyi
Na sengi o lona ngai, pembeni ya mayi ya bomoyi
Po na banga eloko te, po na lenga pe te.
Sala motema e lenda na pasi na esengo na talela se yo
Molimo ya kolela kozanga,
Bisenga senga lokola ba pagano ngai na boyi eh.
Mokili to yaka papa etonda waleoh
Soki yo te nani mosusu
Ah, baninga bazuaka bomengo ngai wa yo délaissé.
Ah yaya, yaya yaya eh, yaya sembola loboko
Ah papa na beleli yo
Nkolo na bondeli yo
Papa yo ozali wapi
Yo motema na ngai
Tala banguna na ngai
Bango basali nde feti
Tala ba ndoki ya quartier
Lelo basali makita
Balobi ngai na suki eh
Ah ngai nakomi ko banga
Papa nakomi ko lenga
Nkolo yoka kolela na ngai
Baninga to kola na bango, babonga ba koma na mbongo
Yaya eh yaya, yo elonga na nga oh
Salaaaaaa, salaaaaaaa
Nkolo na bondeli yo
Papa nakomi na suka
Elikya epayi na yo
Ba finga ba tonga ngai
Ah ngai na taleli yo yo moto obengaki ngai
Wuta libumu ya mama na ngai
Yaya eeeeh yaya
Yaya eh yaya
Yaya makasi na ngai oh
Yaya eh yaya
Yo nde elonga na ngai oh
Yaya eh yaya
Yo bikamua na ngai
Molimo na ngai sepela, oza na nzambe ya solo
The song "Yesu Sala" by Mike Kalambay is a prayerful song which, in its opening verse, tells of the believer's earnest cry unto Jesus. The chorus is a plea for Jesus to intervene in the life of the believer, to alleviate their sorrows, and provide the needed balm for their weariness. The verses are equally passionate and pray for guidance, faith, and strength to navigate the storms of life. The song's overall message is that when one's spirit is overwhelmed, reaching out to Jesus in prayer is the answer.
The lyrics to the song were originally written in Lingala, one of the national languages spoken in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where Kalambay is from. The song's title, "Yesu Sala," translates to "Jesus Pray" in English. The song was released in 2013 as part of Kalambay's album "Fongola Likolo."
