Malongi ya mwana etu Yannick Ngombo
The song of our child Yannick Ngombo
Antes eu me escondia
Before, I hid
Antes eu me embarrava
Before, I smeared myself with mud
Eu tinha vergonha eu era complexado
I was ashamed, I was filled with complexes
Mas quando me perguntaram se eu sou de onde!?
But when they asked me where I'm from!?
Com todo orgulho eu respondo a
With great pride, I answer and
Sorrir: EU SOU BAKONGO, BAKONGO, BAKONGO
Smile: I'M BAKONGO, BAKONGO, BAKONGO
(Langa Zairense)
(Zairense language)
Assim éramos chamados
That's how we were called
De tanto complexo até hoje
From so many complexes, even today
Muitos são embarrados!
Many are smeared with mud!
Conheço isso desde puto
I've known this since I was a kid
Ainda era miúdo
I was still young
Uns até pelo nome (Vemba)
Some even by the name (Vemba)
O sotaque diz tudo
The accent says it all
Mas você lhe pergunta se é bakongo
But you ask him if he's bakongo
Pra te responder bué de voltas...
He'll give you a roundabout answer...
Ah porque não sou de
Ah because I'm not from here
Meus pais é que são de lá...
It's my parents who are from there...
Somos Discriminados até hoje
We're discriminated against to this day
A perseguição continua...
The persecution continues...
No bairro, no trabalho, no facebook ou na rua
In the neighborhood, at work, on facebook or in the street
Mas com a cabeça erguida continuamos afrente
But with our heads held high, we continue to move forward
Todo mundo sabe: os bakongo são inteligentes
Everybody knows: the bakongo are intelligent
Nós não nos deixamos mentalidade revú
We don't let the "revú" mentality get to us
Estamos em todas áreas nascemos vijús
We're in all areas, we're born winners
Negócio é connosco
Business is with us
Viagens é é connósco bakongo gosta de kumbú
Travel is with us, bakongo love to party

Eu muitos bakongo com orgulho
I saw many bakongo with pride
A baterem no peito""
Beating their chests
Tenha orgulho das tuas origens
Be proud of your origins
