Paroles et traduction Richard Bona - Dina Lam

Dina Lam

La balalo kina ma chen dèku
La biso kun yéléla diki

Lôngô natèna kwan
Nèni kourmo kourma
Bébango na matutu muléma
Néni kourmo kourma
Mbéi na matutu na né
Mbémba kourmo munja
Ba num mô jôngô muléma
Nèni kourmo kourma
Miango ma jéngu ma dangwa
Nèni kourmo kourma

Kourou njaka bo
Kourou koukou njaka bo

Na si wusa bè longè ésibè oa Mama
Muyawo na édèmo bé ndé mboa ngô

Kourmo
Wé pôn ndé Kiñè
Lambo nèn nô péña péña
Dibongo la bana bodilo ésibè dikana
Lambo nèn nô péña péña
Pipi balu o nana

Mwititi bon bulu
Na wasé kuba lamp
Na na kusé bonam bôngô
Minbu mi timbi o tomba
O timbi sô wôlô soni wumsè wèngè
A kourmo
Ngol é me sèmè i ne ka
Walè iki é bè nsè bè na nsal è

La balalo kina ma chen dèku
La biso kun yéléla diki

Dina Lam

I have nothing to say about it
I just want to cry

You're really strong
Like a powerful lion
You're so beautiful with your eyes so clear
Like a powerful lion
You're so pretty with your eyes so bright
You're a true daughter of the king
They all love the way you look
Like a powerful lion
My words are sweet like honey
Like a powerful lion

Come my friend
Come my darling friend

And if I speak ill, forgive me Mother
I'm just a jealous fool

Lioness
My home up on the hill
You have the voice of a sweet dove
You sing well, my beautiful child
You have the voice of a sweet dove
You're the moon in my eyes

My child who can run faster than an eagle
Who can walk in fire without getting burned
Who can eat the heart of the forest
A forest of giants
You're big and strong enough to kill a lion with your bare hands
A lioness
I will tie you up with my words
And give you to my brothers as a gift

I have nothing to say about it
I just want to cry
