Na kanga yo na ba photos ya mbanda na Limbisaaa, ndaka to pesanaaa

Lelo e komi ya basangoo oh oh oh

Motema ya JP science etonda
Makambo lokola'oyanga ya vero kabese

Mpe bana mabe ba sala ye bandeko
Ndako oyo ovandaka te maman moyen

Oyeba esika mayi etangaka ezali teee
Ponani nini mibali ba ndimaka biso basi

Te Bandeko et pourtant na sala mingi mpo lelo okoma boye

Elanga to lona ekola eta mbuma o préférer obuka yomoko na molili

Pasi eleki nga posa na zonga mboka na
Nzela na leka ba tala nga liso te

(Instrumentale)

Elanga to lona ekola eta mbuma o préférer obuka yomoko na molili

Pasi eleki nga posa na zonga mboka na
Nzela na leka ba tala nga liso te posa
Nami boma

(Instrumentale)

Oyo osalinga etikali elembo na motema
Nako bosana te ngayi na koma nanga
Lokola moto

Ba suwa ye nduma abanga bokila te
Tongo pokwa ngayi kaka losambo

Nasenga bolimbisi nzambe a limbisa yo
Mbala tuku Sambo na Sambo mbala
Sambo

Tuku Sambo na Sambo mbala
Sambo oooh

Kasi makanisi ya mabe boye ozwi wapi e papa oboya nga oyina nga lokola

Oyinaka mabele ya maman bokilo
Zongisa ndambo ya bolingo na pesaki
Yo

Otye wapiee tala nga na komi isolé tololoo

Mabeje tala ngayi leki nayo na bandeli
Vie à zéro likolo ya mobali oyoo

Noko JP ko lemba bana te fungola miso
Likambo famille ba pekisaki na boyaki

Ko Yoka oo mobali azali mbeto ya hôpital Maa

Lelooo oyo nay'ozwi yee obosani mobongo nyoso ngayi nayo to sala haa

O sekii olobi na betelayee photocopie
Na botela yo ekomisanga boye lumaa

Oyo osalinga etikali elembo na motema
Nako bosana te

Ngayi na koma nanga Lokola moto ba suwa ye nduma abanga bokila te

Tongo pokwa ngayi kaka losambo

Nasenga bolimbisi nzambe a limbisa yo
Mbala tuku Sambo na Sambo mbala
Sambo

Tuku Sambo na Sambo mbala
Sambo oooh

Kasi makanisi ya mabe boye ozwi wapi e papa oboya nga oyina nga lokola

Oyinaka mabele ya maman bokilo
Zongisa ndambo ya bolingo na pesaki
Yo

Otye wapiee tala nga na komi isolé tololoo

Overall Meaning

The song "77 X 7" by Zaiko Langa Langa is a Congolese rumba song that speaks about forgiveness and reconciliation. The lyrics encourage listeners to forgive those who have wronged them, even if it means having to do so repeatedly. The repeated use of the phrase "77 X 7" is a reference to the biblical verse Matthew 18:22, where Jesus tells Peter to forgive his brother seventy times seven.


The song starts with the line "Na kanga yo na ba photos ya mbanda na Limbisaaa, ndaka to pesanaaa," which translates to "I kept your photos with me when I left Limbisa, but I didn't give up." This suggests that despite a past conflict or hurt, the singer has chosen not to let go of the relationship altogether. The song then continues to plead for forgiveness and understanding, acknowledging that everyone makes mistakes and that the only way to move forward is through reconciliation.


Overall, the message of the song is a powerful one, emphasizing the importance of forgiveness and taking responsibility for one's actions. It speaks to the human condition and our never-ending struggle to connect with others and overcome differences.
