Maze

Your body's beauty, Maze, I've never seen anything like it,
My heart is captivated, others are envious, they're left with shame,
Yes, they're left with shame,
Your elongated body is full of charm, Maze,
As you walk, everyone turns to look.
Your whole being radiates love, Maze,
When you pass by, everyone turns (to gaze at you)
Your body's beauty, Maze, they sing about it, but I truly haven't seen anything like it,
Beauty overflows from you, they've written, they've sung, but I haven't witnessed such,
Your entire being is alluring,
With elegance, it's a matter that makes men lose their minds,
Brothers watch over you with ties, Shaguva's (Moka T.P.) wife, oh Maze,
Friends protect you with vigilance, Shaguva's younger brother's wife, oh Maze
As you pass, men's hearts pound, child of Mama Ite Mama
When you walk by, men's hearts race, child of Mama Ite
Our love, I bound it with a stone, and threw it into the Zaire River,
Our love, we sealed it within a stone,
And cast it into the depths of the Zaire River,
The waters have dried up but it hasn't surfaced, only the stone of our love remains
The waves have crashed for ages but it hasn't appeared, only the stone of our love has emerged
Your body's beauty, Maze, you adorn yourself with gold,
Beauty overflows from you, gold upon your skin
Your entire being is captivating with
Botek, from your ankles, your eyes, and your hair,
That sway of your hips is the end of the walk,
You search all of Kinshasa, making people swoon.
That step of yours is the final touch, you'll search all of Kinshasa, making people faint.
Maze, they suspect I've bound you in a sorcerer's house,
Maze, people think I've trapped you in a witch doctor's dwelling (that I've bewitched you)
Maze, they've exhausted my skin where I drink,
Maze, they've worn me down to the bone where I quench my thirst,
Maze, they say I'm incapable of love (marriage)
Maze, they claim I'm not cut out for love (marriage)
No, Maze, I'm capable of it,
I only desire you, ultimately I'll marry you, I'll provide for you
Maze, I can handle you, I only love you, eventually I'll wed you, I'll nourish you
Maze, they seek to tempt you with a world of money,
Maze, they try to lure you away with promises of wealth
Maze, they've cost me my job, leaving me to starve,
Maze, they got me fired, leaving me to die of hunger
Maze, they've fabricated stories about me to deceive you,
Maze, they've spread lies about me to mislead you
No, Maze, I'm with you, I won't leave,
In the end, they'll be surprised (I won't leave), I'll marry you.
Maze, I am with you, I won't give up,
Eventually, they'll be astonished (I won't give up), I'll wed you
Maze, they show you a bush leaf with a monkey's face,
Maze, they present a monkey's leaf with a monkey's face
Maze, you only glance at them because of the strength of my love,
Maze, you merely look at them due to the weight of my love
Maze, you tell me everything they say against me,
Maze, you relay all they speak against me
Shame fills their eyes, fills their eyes,
Ultimately, shame fills their eyes, fills their gaze.
Embarrassment, they can only watch with their eyes...
I Love You, Baby Touch Me, Yes, I Am Yours,
I Love You, Baby Touch Me, Yes I Am Yours
Yes, I Am Yours, Darling Think Of Me...
Yes I Am Yours, My Love Think Of Me...
