Lyrics and translation Lokua Kanza - Si tu pars

Si tu pars

C'était hier, quand M'boyo jouait sur les pirogues
De l'autre côté, Dimitri faisait du roller à Prague
Tous les deux, ils ont été touchés par l'aventure
Comme toi, j'aurais un mot simplement à te dire

Si tu pars n'oublies pas, la terre où ton cœur a vu le jour
Zanzibar ou Maurepas
Faudra jamais que tu oublies l'amour

Si tu pars n'oublies pas, la terre où ton cœur a vu le jour
Zanzibar ou Maurepas
Faudra jamais que tu oublies l'amour

Tu verras, la beauté des hommes et leur douleur
L'important, c'est de pouvoir toujours garder ta chaleur
Bien des fois, tu auras la visite du bleus d'un soir
Mais tu vois, la vie a ses beaux jours et ses déboires

Si tu pars n'oublies pas, la terre où ton cœur a vu le jour
Zanzibar ou Maurepas
Faudra jamais que tu oublies l'amour

Si tu pars n'oublies pas, la terre où ton cœur a vu le jour
Zanzibar ou Kinshasa
Faudra jamais que tu oublies l'amour

Si tu pars

Soki oke kobosana te
Mboko oyo epayi motama nayo e botama
Kinshasa ou Zanzibar
Faudra jamais que tu oublies l'amour

If you leave

It was yesterday when M'boyo was playing on the canoes
On the other side, Dimitri was rollerblading in Prague
Both of them were touched by adventure
Like you, I would simply have a word to tell you

If you leave, don't forget the land where your heart was born
Zanzibar or Maurepas
You should never forget love

If you leave, don't forget the land where your heart was born
Zanzibar or Maurepas
You should never forget love

You will see the beauty of men and their pain
The important thing is to always be able to keep your warmth
Many times, you will be visited by the blues of an evening
But you see life has its beautiful days and its disappointments

If you leave, don't forget the land where your heart was born
Zanzibar or Maurepas
You should never forget love

If you leave, don't forget the land where your heart was born
Zanzibar or Kinshasa
You should never forget love

If you leave

If you ever go away
Don't forget the land where your heart was born
Kinshasa or Zanzibar
You should never forget love
