Mama - Live

Bilengi mingi na sala na berceaux ya mama
Eleki elingi koleka ba mbeto nioso nga na lala
Mama soki ozalaki kaka na bomoyi, mbele na sengi o zongisa nga susu wana
Jamais olingaki nga na lela yo seka

Jamais olingaki yo lala nga na lamuka
Jamais olingaki ata ngungi atoungisa nga
Soki na beli ozalaki kotana tongo nsa
Banda y'okenda nakoma abandonée
Recompense nayo nako pesa nani yango?
Ata na leli nani ako dorloter nga ah?
Yango na yembeli yo zembo oyo mama Niondo

Elengi ya libelé ya mama abota ngaï
Eleki ba recette nionso ya ba cordon bleu nga na lya
Ata mafuta, tomate ezalaki te, kasi yango elakaki mosuni n'élengi
Banda y'okenda appétit esila nga ah nakoma ko lya kaka po na sepelisa monoko

Mateyas ya mama ezanga bulletin pe minerval
Kasi eleki ba leçons ba maitres, ba professeurs ba pesa nga
Mama soki ozalaki kaka na bomoyi mbelé na sengi batya yo ministre y'éducation
Mbelé ba parquets, ba prison nionso bakanga
Mbelé kutu motu mabé azali té eh

Lelo nakanisi yo mingi mama ah
Mpo jour y'anniversaire na nga ekomi pene
B'invités bako lya bako mela masanga
Yo kutu artisan na nga y'ozali te
Epayi y'ozali soki okutani n'occasion eh
Tindela nga carte de voeux, ata fololo

Esengo na nga ekozala multiplier fois deux
Normalement fêti ya lelo ezali ya yo
Serment d'Hippocrate ba médecins ba kosalaka
Ya nga serment y'ozala toujours mama nga
Ata ba bandeli mokili soki mbala zomi
Ya nga serment y'ozala toujours mama nga

Lelo nakanisi yo mingi mama ah
Mpo jour y'anniversaire na nga ekomi pene mama
B'invités bako lya bako mela masanga
Yo kutu artisan na nga y'ozali te
Epayi y'ozali soki okutani n'occasion eh

Tindela nga carte de voeux, ata fololo
Esengo na nga ekozala multiplier fois deux
Normalement fêti ya lelo ezali ya yo
Serment d'Hippocrate ba médecins ba kosalaka
Ya nga serment y'ozala toujours mama nga

Mama soki ozalaki kaka na bomoyi, mbele na sengi o zongisa nga susu wana
Mama soki ozalaki kaka na bomoyi, mbele na sengi o zongisa nga susu wana

Mama - Live

I remember many things from my mother's cradle,
More desirable than all the beds I have ever slept in.
Mama, if only you were still alive, I would ask you to bring back that lullaby,
You never wanted me to cry, you wanted me to laugh.

You never wanted to sleep while I was awake,
You never wanted anyone to hurt me,
If I cried, you would offer your breast,
Since you left, I have become abandoned,
To whom shall I give my gratitude?
Who will even cuddle me when I cry?
That's why I sing this song, Mama Niondo,

The deliciousness of the food my mother cooked for me,
Surpasses all the recipes of the cordon bleu chefs I have tasted.
Even without oil or tomatoes, it still had the most delicious flavor.
Since you left, my appetite has gone, I only eat to satisfy my hunger.

Mother's teachings lacked report cards and tuition,
But they surpassed the lessons given by teachers and professors.
Mama, if only you were still alive, I would ask them to make you the Minister of Education,
All the courtrooms and prisons would be closed,
There wouldn't even be any bad people left.

Today I think about you a lot, mama,
Because my birthday is approaching.
The guests will eat and drink,
But you, my creator, are not here.
Wherever you are, if you find an opportunity,
Send me a greeting card, even a photo.

My joy will be multiplied by two.
Normally, today's celebration should be yours.
Doctors take the Hippocratic oath,
Mine is to always be your child.
Even if the world changes ten times,
Mine is to always be your child.

Today I think about you a lot, mama,
Because my birthday is approaching, mama.
The guests will eat and drink,
But you, my creator, are not here.
Wherever you are, if you find an opportunity,

Send me a greeting card, even a photo.
My joy will be multiplied by two.
Normally, today's celebration should be yours.
Doctors take the Hippocratic oath,
Mine is to always be your child.

Mama, if only you were still alive, I would ask you to bring back that lullaby,
Mama, if only you were still alive, I would ask you to bring back that lullaby,
