Paroles et traduction Lokua Kanza - Kuetu Mbali

Kuetu Mbali

Kinshasa mosika, ye
Mboka towuta mosika

Kuetu Mbali
Siku gani tutarudi kuetu
Tabu inapita
Fasi yo te watu mingi wanateswa sana
Ukosefu ya mapendo
Ndjiya yo te apa duniya ni tabu
Inapaswa weye udjikaze ngufu
Tabu yo te ikona muicho yake
Ndungu wangu kumbuka

Kinshasa mosika, ye
Mboka towuta mosika

Kila kitu
Apa chini duniya ya mungu
Iko na mana yake
Fasi yo te watu mingi wanateswa sana
Ukosefu ya mapendo
Ndjiya yo te apa duniya ni tabu
Inapaswa weye udjikaze ngufu
Tabu yo te ikona muicho yake
Ndungu wangu kumbuka

(Voix Annie Flore)

Kila kuetu
Apa chini duniya ya mungu
Iko na mana yake
Fasi yo te watu mingi wanateswa sana
Ukosefu ya mapendo
Ndjiya yo te apa duniya tabu
Inapaswa weye ndjikaze ngufu
Tabu yo te ikona muicho yake
Ndungu wangu kumbuka

Nani na na ne

Mboka towuta mosika
Mboka towuta mosika na ngai ndeko

Far Away

Kinshasa far, girl
Our homeland is far

Far Away
When will we return to our homeland
Time crawls by
The world is a place where many suffer
Lacking love
The world is hard here
You must find strength within yourself
Your time has no meaning here
My friend, remember

Kinshasa far, girl
Our homeland is far

Everything
Here on God's earth
Has meaning
The world is a place where many suffer
Lacking love
The world is hard here
You must find strength within yourself
Your time has no meaning here
My friend, remember

(Vocals by Annie Flore)

All of our homelands
Here on God's earth
Have meaning
The world is a place where many suffer
Lacking love
The world is hard here
You must find strength within yourself
Your time has no meaning here
My friend, remember

Who are we

Our homeland is far
Our homeland is far, my brother
