Gratitude
Yannick N'tumba Lyrics

Tes merveilles seigneur ont réveillé mes émotions
Lord, Your miracles have awakened my emotions

Tu apparis dans ma vie d′une brillance matinale
You have appeared in my life with a morning brightness

Comme un père
Like a father

Tu compatis là où les coeurs des hommes étaient indiffèrents
You empathized where men's hearts were indifferent

Tu dressa devant moi une table
You set a table before me

En presence de mes ennemies et ma coupe deborda
In the presence of my enemies and my cup overflowed

Ezalaka nga ko bika lokola moto na pasi
I was walking like a car on the ground

Na buakamaka lokola matiti ezanga motuya
Looking like a helpless child

Baninga pe bandeko na nga ba sundolaki ngai eh
My own friends have also abandoned me

Na zangaka na moto aluka ata ko salisa nga
I climbed aboard the car without knowing where it would take me

Na buakamaka lokola muana azanga baboti eh
Crying like a child who has lost their toys

Ata na miso ya batu na zangaki tina
Even with the eyes of the people looking at me, I felt alone

Solo na yengaki na lubuaku ya ba soucis
I was lying on my bed full of worries

Na poto poto eloko ya pamba na zalaki
On the floor, the weeds grew

Ko liya pe ko lata na nga ezalaki na pasi
Dragging and pulling, I was walking on the ground

Nga na koma lokola ebuele oyo azanga mokengeli
I was confused like a lost sheep

Ko bila na nga na mokili se pasi
I was feeling like the world is bad

Na zalaka te na tina ata na mitema ya bato
I was not looking at people even though they were all around me

Kasi moto moko andima ko zua esika na nga
But one person approached and wanted to know me

Ye amonaki pasi elekelaki motema na nga
He told me about the goodness of his heart

Afutela nga niongo na koka ata ko futa te eh
He held my hand and didn't let go

Alokotaki nga asukolaki nga na makila
He hugged me and told me

Kati ya fulu na poto poto na zalaki
'The grass on the ground is growing'

Ye azuaka nga na fandi elongo na ba kolo
He told me 'to hold onto hope with both hands'

Nini na pesa na yo te pawuni na nga ya motuya nde yo
What can I give You in exchange for my life that is Yours?

Y'okangola nga na moniama oyo ya moyini satana
You saved me from the hands of Satan

Sayi etondi nga na motema po oponi nga okati ya bato ebele
What I feel in my heart no one can take away from me

Tala na zangi maloba ya ko talisa esengo na zui lelo oyo
Look at me now, testifying about what makes my day today

Y′okomonaka mitema ya bato mona esengo ya motema na nga nkolo
You changed people's minds, and the state of my heart is different now

Tika loyembo na nga esimba motema na yo elombe na nga
Sing a song in which my heart will join with Yours

Y'oza monzoto na nga ya tongo (yesu yaya)
You are my guide (Jesus)

Ongengisi ba nzela na nga nioso (banguna na nga nioso ba tikali na soni)
You light up all my paths

Opesi nga tina na miso ya bato (parce que Jesus a tout bouleversé)
You gave me the eyes of people (because Jesus changed everything)

Y'oza malamu eh yaweh (bouleversé Jesus)
You are good (Jesus changed everything)

Eh tala ko bolingo na yo nkolo elekeli mabanzo na nga (bolingo na yo ebuka nga mikuwa yaya)
See, Your love, Lord, laughs at my problems

Na wuti masika na fulu olokoti opesi tina (na poto poto nani atala ngai eh)
And it has rained on the ground, and the weeds have become tall (on the floor, who is reaching out to me)

Nani akokaka ko linga nga lokola yo masiya na nga yesu (nani alakisa nga ata mua bolingo ya semblant)
Who will stop me from loving You, Lord Jesus (who will convince me that the love is only superficial)

Tala na zangi eloko ya ko pesa yo nkolo maboko polele (yanga pe motema polele)
Look at this place to give you handclaps (and my heart too)

Yesu oyo bolingo na yo nkolo ekomisa nga liboma
You, Jesus, whose love is my heart's haven

Ah yesu oyo yamba maloba emotion ya motema
Ah, Jesus, who inspires the emotions in my heart

Ah elombe na nga nini yango ya malongo na pesa na yo
Ah, what can I give You in exchange for Your peace?

Ba talaki nga pamba eh nzoka yaweh azalaki na ngai
They were talking around me, but You, Lord, were with me

Ba monaki ngai oyo sans valeur nzoka elombe apelisi mwinda
They called me worthless, but You saw me as worthy of the crown

Eh ba tali nga, ye kuna aseki, wana alobi ye kutu mobola
And they said to one another, 'Let's make him fall,' but he said 'Lead me away'

Mosusu abakisi na nzoto oyo ya ye nini yango ya malonga ekoki nde ko bima na ye
And those who wanted his soul, what is the use of plotting against him?

Ba yebi te na mongongo na nga mabota ebele ya mokili ezo pabuama
They don't know that in my hands, there is an unstoppable force in this world

Kumama na yo nkolo mon etoile brillante du matin
Praise to You, Lord, my bright morning star

Y′oza monzoto na nga ya tongo(ooo tu as coloré ma vie)
You are my guide (oh, You colored my life)

Ongengisi ba nzela na ngai nioso(oh ma vie est devenue en couleur à cause de toi)
You light up all my paths (oh, my life has become colorful because of You)

Y'opesi nga tina na miso ya batu(na komi pe moto ya tina)
You gave me the eyes of people (I became a person too)

Y′oza malamu eh oh yaweh(makambo yango liboma elekeli nga moto pasi)
You are good, oh Lord (these things are true and affect me deeply)

Kumama na yo nkolo melesi matondi papa
Praise to You, Lord, my compassionate shepherd

Papa na peso nini eh na zongisela yo nini elombo
Father, what should I tell You? What do I offer You?

Kumama na yo nkolo eh nga sayi etondi nga motema papa
Praise to You, Lord, who knows what is in my heart, Father

Yoza malamu eh yaweh
You are good, oh Lord
