Paroles et traduction Papa Wemba - Le Voyageur - Live

Le Voyageur - Live

Ah nga le voyageur mabanzo
Elekeli nga mingui
Joe pesa ngai mayi namele
Ekitisa papa motema ah

Natindamaka se bongo awe o nse
Bongo nzambe atinda nga ah
Bongo mokambi monene esika ya
Mosala mikili na mikili bisobe
Nakokatisa mibale pa ne ba nbomba

Esengo pe nkembo ata mbala
Namona likamwisi monene

Emataka ngai pepo tango inso
Motema ezongaka kobanza oy'a nga
Famille dans l'espoir qu'à mon tour
Je vais vous voir enfin autour
D'une table ma famille réunie

Esengo pe nkembo ata mbala
Moko na mbula po mosala mobimba
Oyo nga na kosalaka awa
Ezanga n'ango ata pension

Nakeyi nakeyi pepo ekumbi nga mosika
Likolo ya mapata
Ngambo na nga mbo
Bibi otalaka bana

The Traveler - Live

Ah, traveler, you make me sad
You are far from home
I give you water to drink
Comfort your heart, father, ah

I dream of seeing you again
God's country is where you are, ah
The great chief's country is where you are
Work in different countries of the world
I thank you twice, because you work for me

Joy and happiness always
I see great beauty

Pray for me when the sun rises
My heart wants to think of you
Family in the hope that in my turn
I will finally see you around
A table with my family reunited

Joy and happiness always
Rain and sun for all the work
That I do here
Without even a pension

Slowly, slowly, prayer takes me far
The distance of footsteps
On the other side of the water, my love
A mother looks after her children
