Lyrics and translation Dena Mwana - Esengo

Esengo

Natambolaki na ba nzelá mabé
Nayebaki té, nazalí molongi
Nalingaki kolúka kímiá ya sóló
Kási moto mókó alingákí ngáí wuta bomwǎna
Aponaki ngáí, ngáí nayebaki té, eh, eh
Ngáí nayebaki té, eh, eh
Ngáí nayebaki té, eh, eh

Natambolaki na ba nzelá mabé
Kasi moto mókó alingaki ngáí wuta bomuana
Aponaki ngáí, ngáí nayebaki té

Esengo ya kozala muana na Nzámbe
Akosimba yo, na ba nzelá na yo
Akozalá na yo, na bisíká nionso
Kobanga té, Yésu alongela se yo, yó
Yésu alongela sé yo, yó
Yésu alongela sé yo

Natambolaki na ba nzelá mabé
Nayebaki té nazalí molongi
Nalingaki kolúka kímiá ya sóló
Kasi moto mókó alingákí ngáí wuta bomuana
Aponaki ngáí, ngáí nayebaki té eh-eh

Esengo yako zala muana na Nzámbe
Akosimba yo, na ba nzelá na yo
Akozalá na yo, na bisíká nionso
Kobángá te, Yésu alongela se yo, yó
Yésu alongela se yo, yó
Yésu alongela sé yo
Yésu alongela...

Yě abuakaka naye, bǎna na yé té
Yě akosaka té, yě azalí Nzámbe
Yě alobaki ete akozalá na biso
Kino súka ya bomoyi
Kobángá té, kino súka ya bomoyi

Esengo ya kozala muana na Nzámbe
Akosimba yo, na ba nzelá na yo
Ako zalá na yo, na bisíká nionso
Kobanga té, Yésu alongela sé yo, yó
Yésu alongela sé yo, yó
Yésu alongela sé yo
Yésu alongela sé yo

Yésu alongela
Sé, yo-oh-oh
Sé-eh-eh, yo-oh-oh-oh

Joy

I used to wander down the wrong roads
I didn't know I was a sinner
I wanted to find the truth myself
But someone wanted me to become a child of God
He saved me, I didn't know, eh, eh
I didn't know, eh, eh
I didn't know, eh, eh

I used to wander down the wrong roads
But someone wanted me to become a child of God
He saved me, I didn't know

The joy of being a child of God
He will save you on your paths
He will be with you everywhere
Don't be afraid, Jesus is with you, yes
Jesus is with you, yes
Jesus is with you

I used to wander down the wrong roads
I didn't know I was a sinner
I wanted to find the truth myself
But someone wanted me to become a child of God
He saved me, I didn't know eh-eh

Your joy is to be a child of God
He will save you on your paths
He will be with you everywhere
Don't be afraid, Jesus is with you, yes
Jesus is with you, yes
Jesus is with you
Jesus is with you...

He is with us, his children
He never fails, he is God
He said he would be with us
Until the end of life
Don't be afraid, until the end of life

The joy of being a child of God
He will save you on your paths
He will be with you everywhere
Don't be afraid, Jesus is with you, yes
Jesus is with you, yes
Jesus is with you
Jesus is with you

Jesus is with you
Yes, oh-oh
Yes-eh-eh, oh-oh-oh
