Lyrics and translation Papa Wemba - Ba Jetons

Ba Jetons

Richesse na yo se ba défauts
Pauvreté na yo qualité ye ye
Moninga ye wana ako leka na nzela
Ebele ya Ba Jetons na monoko na ye
Ba bengani ye na lopango awuti
Na mayi ba sokoleli bilamba ah
Songi songi lokola mwana mokee
Muwara kutu sima malole
Moto ya liboma oyo osimbisaki minduki
Wuta azongisela yo
Ebota ba bisbilles
Ebota bo nyama
Pe panza makita maman ahh
Remarquez vie y'a moto na métro
Kaka ba kombo ya bato
Ahahah ohohho
Goal keeper ya match ya ba bouchons
Oyo ezanga sponsor ooo
Richesse na yo se ba défauts
Pauvreté na yo qualités ye ye ye
Na bendi na nga nzoto
Na boyi songi songi oooh ooh ohhh
Soki oyebaki ata comedie
Mpele o remplacer Doudou Ngafura
Mbula tuku misato na misato na poto
Yo kaka ba kamutshe mingonzo
Naba nganda clandestins
Mutuka kutu ba changeaka pneu
Feu rouge stop
B'aiguille y'a montre
Etelemaka te ooo
Mais la vie continue (2)
Polepole djo muendo
La vie continue (2)
Ikoke lokendooo(2)
Osala faute contre la chronologie
Obosana remontoir
Tiya montre na yo
Tshope tshope tshope
Nzonga na mboka
Basokola yo na lemba lemba
Tshope tshope tshope

Let's Hang Out

Your wealth is your flaws
Your poverty is your quality, you you
My friend, that's what will take you down that road
A lot of those posers are just by themselves
They're your friends in the store, outside
In the water, they're stripping off their clothes, ah
Walking and walking like a young kid
The wife will always cut corners
That guy in prison took some drinks
Fire will come back to you
Household quarrels
Household war
Poor belly, poor mama
Look at life on the subway
Just gossip about other people
Ahahah ohohho
Goalie of the game of traffic jams
One without a sponsor, ooo
Your wealth is your flaws
Your poverty is your qualities
With bands and crowds
I'm walking and walking, oooh ooh, ohhh
If you know even a little bit of comedy
Come replace Doudou Ngafura
The rain keeps falling three by three in the pot
You just shake your pocket money
Even underground bars
The car just changes its tire
Red light, stop
The needle of the watch
Doesn't move, ooo
But life goes on (2)
Slowly, my brother
Life goes on (2)
Ikoke lokendooo(2)
You make a mistake against chronology
You wear out the winder
Put on your watch
Chop chop chop
The hustle in the country
They'll slowly take you to jail
Chop chop chop
