Porte Monnaie - Koffi Olomide traduction en anglais

Porte Monnaie

"Omoni eh, okanisaki nga te"

Mbongo eza nyonso te na la vie eh ba mama
Mbongo eza suka ya la vie te ba yama
L'argent ne fait pas tout le bonheur oyo ya ntoto
L'argent ça va ça vient
L'argent c'est rien
ça c'est vrai ça
ça c'est vrai ça, c'est vrai ça
ça vrai ça, c'est ça, c'est ça

Oyoka moninga azuwa te
Soki azuwi na ye mbongo
Mona yango rien
Soki lelo ozangi mbongo
Ba
Batika ba mbongo
Moto asalaka mbongo
Mbongo esombaka moto te ouh!
Eh moto te mbongo

Sala mbongo kudia ndambu
Pe bomba ndambu, sqala sala
Na motoki na yo oko zwa se na salongo, longo
Salisa tata na mama oyo babota yo
Salisa baye bazanga
Nzambe akozongisela yo
Bata obota mpe
Kolinga te bamona mpasi
Mbongo ekundaka moto te
Emelaka pe te moto
Mbongo ezanga mawa
Mbongo mawa
Zanga mawa, eh kakamawa

Koboya to kolinga moto te po na mbongo
Kotia mpe porte monnaie te
N'esika ya motema
Somba mituka
Tonga ba ndako mboka mboka
Kasi soki butu ekomi
Mpongi se na mbeto moko

Eh mbongo eza lokola
Mwana ya imbwa ami
Na tango alingi yo
Kobengana ye te na coup de sabot
Soki akomi kobanga kokima yo
C'est fini

Na papa na mama
Bakolisa nga na pasi
Na mbuma ya loso
Pe na mafuta ya ngashi
Ba susu bakuta
Ba mbongo ya famille
Biso ba monimambo
Molimo na nga nakoteka te
Po na mbongo
Nazwa to nazanga
Ekipaka te
Mokili c'est ça

Eh mbongo eza nyonso te na la vie ba mama
Mbongo eza suka ya mokili te ba papa ah
L'argent ça va a vient
L'argent, c'est rien
ça c'est vrai ça
ça c'est vrai ça
ça c'est vrai ça
C'est ça

Wallet

"Omoni eh, okanisaki nga te"

Money isn't everything in life, ladies
Money isn't the end of life, my dears
Money doesn't bring all the happiness in this world
Money comes and goes
Money is nothing
That's true
That's true, it's true
It's true, that's it, that's it

Listen, my friend, don't be envious
If he gets his money
See, it's nothing
If today you lack money
Leave
Leave the money alone
People work for money
Money doesn't look for people, oh!
Hey, it's people, not money

Make money, eat some
And save some, keep working
With your own hands, you'll get it through hard work
Help your father and mother who gave birth to you
Help those who are lacking
God will give back to you
Have children too
Don't want to see them suffer
Money doesn't remember anyone
It doesn't wait for anyone either
Money is merciless
Money, mercy
Merciless, oh, so merciless

Don't reject or love someone because of money
Don't put your wallet
In place of your heart
Buy cars
Build houses everywhere
But when night comes
You sleep in only one bed

Hey, money is like
A puppy, my friend
When it wants you
Don't chase it away with a kick
If it starts to fear and run from you
It's over

My father and mother
Raised me in hardship
With all kinds of fruits
And palm oil
They searched and found
The family's money
We, the blessed ones
I won't sell my soul
For money
Whether I have it or not
It doesn't matter
That's how the world is

Hey, money isn't everything in life, ladies
Money isn't the end of the world, gentlemen, ah
Money comes and goes
Money is nothing
That's true
That's true
That's true
That's it
