Текст песни Ground Zéro (Ode to Love) - Abd al Malik

Time was I would criticize my neighbor
If this religion was not the same as mine
But now my heart welcomes every form
It is prairie for the gazelles and
A cloister for monks
A temple idols and
A Kaaba for the pilgrim
The Tables of the Torah ans the Book of the Qur'an
I follow the religion of Love and whatever
Direction taken bu Love's camel,
That's my religion and my faith
Come on

Na mokili Nzabe a sala biloko na bisso mabalé na mibalé oh
Muasi na mobali moyi na nzanza eh eh
Na mokili Nzabe a pesa moto nyoso chance ya ko zua oh
Lelo ya yo lobi ya guaye
Nzabe reureu a senga sé bolingo
Eh Eh Aha Aha...

I was able to see that the book of my life was not composed
Merely of ink & letters
My heart becomes white as snow
When I taste the savors of "I love you"
In your garden there are many flowers but only one water
Let me clas myself in your love like a tunic
Let count off the rosary of my heart in your memory
Let me shout to the world the perfume of my desire
The cement of providence binds us like bricks of the secret

Refrain:
Na mobili Nzabe a pesa moto nyoso chance ya ko zua oh
Lelo ya yo lobi ya guaye
Nzabe reureu a senga sé bolingo
Eh Eh Aha Aha...

Iwas copper you made me gold, Alchemist of my heart
You who knew how to erase my mistakes
The only believer is the one who loves the other as himself
Existence is a gift but so few people find amazing
Because the outfits it wears are never the same
Because appearances only deceive those who stop at them
I have drunk the wine of Love and people were changed into brothers

Refrain
