My dear girl, my dear girl, I am raising your child
But the child has passed on, he has passed on without
You killing him eh!
This child today, this child today, whom have you poisoned

On my iron
Listen my friend, come out

Oh, you Kipayi people, come out
Oh, you Mutund people, come out
In the land of Katanga with the miseries
In the land of Katanga with the miseries
Come my darling mother with my heart
