Yo mwana moko na soni yo vandaka na libala
Yo bindinké na malémbé ô yaya mukaramé ô

Nga na bala kaka matata ô mwasi na nga ya libala
Ba ponela nga na maman ô
Ô yaya ôkaramé

Ba téya nga ba koko basanga mwana soki azali ko nguluma
A simbi yo na elamba é ko bengana ye té ô
Longwa na yo libala ngo soni ô zalaka pembeni é

A deux kilomètres moko à deux centimètres ôkaramé
Ô yaya ôkaramé ô (ô yaya ôkaramé)
Ayo-ayo ô nyékiésé (ô yaya ôkaramé)

Mwana Nzambé yoka maloba ô (ô yaya ôkaramé)
La simplicité ya bo koko mama (ô yaya ôkaramé)
Ô yaya, ô yaya ô uh makambo ya ba nguna

My daughter, my precious one, you were born on a holy day
Your delicate skin is like velvet, my dear daughter

But whenever I see you struggling, my heart breaks
They call me your mother
My dear daughter

They tried to break you, but they couldn't break your spirit
They tried to steal your joy, but you wouldn't let them
Remember your journey and the pain you endured

From miles away, to inches, my dear daughter
My dear daughter, my dear daughter (my dear daughter)
Oh, you are so beautiful (my dear daughter)

Daughter of God, listen to my words (my dear daughter)
The humility of your mothers (my dear daughter)
My daughter, my daughter, these are the things that matter
