Ntima Mbote
Werrason Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oyoki yango ya bien?
Omoni té?
Oyo Alfred Nzimbi le meilleur arrangeur du moment, quoi
Mère Annie
Tu brilles comme le soleil
Tu es la vision de la femme idéale
T′aimer et puis mourir

Buya Mayola, Tata Mapasa na Londres
Tonton Jacques bo batela sœur na bino malamu, botika yé té

Mère Annie Ntima mbote molongani ya tonton Philly
Linga mobali nayo na motema nayo mobimba aah
Linzanza libongi na langi, lokoloa y'obongi na tonton Philly
Mbwa azali na makolo mineyi kasi alandaka sé nzela lioko

Mère Annie Ntima mbote batela lokumu nanga epayi y′obimaka
Nasi na pona yo, mobimba nayo ezali pona nga
Nalatisa yo lopeté na mosapi bato pé ba mela massanga
Kitoko nayo tala-tala, référence na biso bana
Bakosa yo té okoma Dalida, bongo oteka nga lokola Samson

Mofude nanga kingo muambé, elengi nayo mafuta ya nzoyi
Na lela yo lokola mama alingaka bébé nayé
Na lula yo lokola ba mupé ba lingaka Ave Maria (yeh-yeh-yeh)

Mère Annie Ntima mbote tokendé promenade ya bolingo
Loboko likolo mosusu na sé (yeh-yeh-yeh)
Mere Annie Ntima mbote tokendé promenade ya bolingo
Loboko likolo mosusu na sé

Bayebaka kitoko ya mwasi soki alamuki na tongo
Nanu asokoli té
Mère Annie Ntima mbote

Tangu okendeké mobembo, okangaka sé motema
Na songé ya liputa, ko bwakaka miso tè (yeh-yeh-yeh)

Mère Annie Ntima mbote tokendé promenade ya bolingo
Loboko likolo mosusu na sé (yeh-yeh-yeh)
Mere Annie Ntima mbote tokendé promenade ya bolingo
Loboko likolo mosusu na sé

Na Paris bako tuna
Na Londres bako tuna
Na Suisse bako tuna yéh eeeh
Na Congo po y'obunga Sidejie Masaki maman na Exaucée eeh eh

Papa Wemba na Amazone (dans la vie il n'y a que deux choses)
Koffi Olomidé na Godet (dans la vie il n′y a que deux choses)
King Kester na Liliane (dans la vie il n′y a que deux choses)
Papa Ndombe Opetum na Ma Marie (dans la vie il n'y a que deux choses)

Lelo na moni yo na pongi Mamie Bakemba na nga
Lelo na loti yo na butu y′obimeli nga na mwinda mama eh
Na robe ya mariage nga na yo tobalani aah eeh

Na bondeli yo, naleli na mayi na miso
Lokola mwana Nzambé agangaka na Golgotha aah-ah
"Eli, Eli lama sabachthani" yoka nga, yoka nga
Yoka nga, yoka nga aaah le-le-li-lele le-lele-le-le-lile

Yeh-yeh-yeh
Mère Annie Ntima mbote tokendé promenade ya bolingo

Loboko likolo mosusu na sé (yeh-yeh-yeh)
Cresois Nsengo, mere Ekah bo simba mere Annie kitoko
