Lyrics and translation Vaya Con Dios feat. Bonga - Ilia

Ilia

Gone is the man
Who loved his land
More than day
If his heart had to leave
His soul was to stay
Hear them calling
From the mountains
Calling from the plains
Hear the wind
Through the leaves
Singing lonely refrains
Banza banza banza banza ixiámi
Ixiámi muá n′gola
N'golo banza N′golo banza oh kima
Uá n'guivila n'go mueniomo
Ni ji pangue já kuteka
Kuilatata uá mudié zé-zé
Mukonda diá n′zó

Pray for the man
Who left his land
Aching for better days
A man who′s heart 's
Bound to bleed
For the ones who remain
Uá n′guivila n'go mueniomo
A mu tele oh n′do
Muloji mala kua muxima
Kua mu jia
Muene u diene
Mu ixié iá muxima kifussa

Ilia

L'homme est parti
Qui aimait sa terre
Plus que le jour
Si son cœur devait partir
Son âme devait rester
Entends-les appeler
Des montagnes
Appelant des plaines
Entends le vent
À travers les feuilles
Chantant des refrains solitaires
Banza banza banza banza ixiámi
Ixiámi muá n′gola
N'golo banza N′golo banza oh kima
Uá n'guivila n'go mueniomo
Ni ji pangue já kuteka
Kuilatata uá mudié zé-zé
Mukonda diá n′zó

Souffrant de jours meilleurs

Destiné à saigner
Pour ceux qui restent
