Ba ninga ngo ba kendaki mobembo, bazongi
Ya yo mobembo okeyi motako Cocooo oh, Kevine na ndako akoma ko tungisa ngaaa
Maman pourquoi Coco azongi téee eh,
Maman pourquoi Coco azongi téee eh, Madimba ah ngo
Eyano nini napesa na muana Coco nanga ngooo Madimba
Lelo ekomi, y'okende y'ozongaka téee (Coco Madimba)
Yaka papa nga na kowa, zonga ami nga nako wazée eeehh
Didi Malele, Dédé Bikofo nzoto elembi na kolemba
Papito Mbala ako lela anokeli mbulaaa, Claude Pires eh
Promesse opesaki na ebandeli ya bolingo Coco, qu'aucun jour Cathy nako kende pe natika yo
Lelo ekomi, y'okende y'ozongaka téee (Coco Madimba)
Yaka papa nga na kowa, zonga ami nga nako wazée eeehh
Eh eh eh
Eh eh eh eh Coco Madimba, yo okamati yanga bolingo yo opesi ko na nani?
Soki olingaki nga mbele ekomi ya boyé té
Yo okamati mokano Coco sé na sima na ngayi, Kasi ebongaki y'ozela kino nakozonga nga wa yo mobali
Eloko ba bengi bolingo, passi bissengo dit
Coco omesana koloba kasi na lela yo, lelo ekomi ya boyé
Madimba nako suis prêt ngayi ko natutaki tolo pona bolingo yango tuna Delphin Kolopa
Tolingana tosalisana, tozali batu ya b'ekolo moko oh yaweh
Atinda biso tolingana, yaweh pesa limbisani bango
Ado Mujangi, ba boti bo sunga Alain Mutombo,
Tonton Jacques, mère Henriette eeh maman
Ba boti bosunga Clément Mubenga, Radjou Simba
Cathy maman chérie oyebisa Kevine eeh nakoya naké motako té eeh
Nga Coco papa na muana, nakoya tovanda en famille réunie
Eh eh eh
Eh eh eh Coco Madimba, yo okamati yanga bolingo yo opesi ko na nani?
Soki olingaki nga mbele ekomi ya boyé té
Yo okamati mokano Coco sé na sima na ngayi, Kasi ebongaki ozela kino nakozonga nga wa yo mobali eeeh
