Maria
Mba nonguele te nguea biso na wa di wu no
Dia monguele neni eta no ndutu
Mba nonguele te bewendji bena lani no O be musango ka
Bugna ba wengue Mimbu mbusa mimbu di timbi so o djene na
Di botise nde mo ndolo po
Ye he megeu ayo me nin na neh
Wone ngaoundere bana barka dassalah

Refrain: selele selele selele Maria selele (×2)

Ba ba si bi wa ba tomse ponda kaise wa
Bei bi na o nongui mba e be ndando to po
Ba langui letter longo tetena mukuta Esi be biya njiba mulema mongo
Mimbu mbusa mimbu di timbi so o djene na
Di botise nde mo ndolo po
Ye he megeu ayo oh me nin na neh
Wone ngaoundere bana barka dassallah

Refrain: selele selele selele maria selele (×2)
Pont: a ndja nu ma teme mba bosso na na leye mo bwang he
Na tombwane bona nyango nekolongone na mbia
A yo teme mba bosso nde wombwe mu bwang he
Na tombwane bona nyango nekolongone na mbia
Selele selele selele maria selele ayooo

My dear, don't hurt us with these things
It's not you that created us
My dear, don't follow their advice now
That doesn't belong to you, white man
You shall worship me and I shall protect you
Yes! I said it again
And you in Ngaoundere, come pray everywhere

Chorus: selele selele selele Maria selele (×2)

They are just people like you
Beware of them, they will destroy you
They translate their words into a language we don't understand
That doesn't belong to you, white man
You shall worship me and I shall protect you
Yes! I said it again
And you in Ngaoundere, come pray everywhere

Chorus: selele selele selele maria selele (×2)
Bridge: I am the one who created what you are admiring
And I will destroy what you like
I am the one who created what you are admiring
And I will destroy what you like
Selele selele selele maria selele ayooo
