Текст и перевод песни Boukman Eksperyans - Ganga

Ganga

Anpil koze kap pase
Je ki la ki pa janm ka wè
Bouch ki la ki pa janm pale
Zorèy ki la ki pa janm tande

Men nou menm ki wè tande
Fòk nou pa ret de bwa pandye
Zanj yo se sou nou yo mize e
Pou nou met lakou yo sou pye

An nou rele Ganga!

Ganga rouke, se konsa Ganga pale
Ganga rouke e e
Eee voye rele Ganga
Ganga rouke, se konsa Ganga pale
Ganga rouke
E se rouke na rouke Ganga
Ganga rouke eee
Rouke, rouke Ganga (Ganga rouke)
Konsa Simbi koze
Ganga rouke ee
Konsa Ganga koze (Ganga rouke)
E rouke na rouke Ganga!

Alon ti peyi dwòl o
Chak fwa yo panse n koule
Yo wè n remonte e
Yon jou pou chasè, yon jou pou jibye
Wi se konsa Granmèt la vlel
Kelkeswa sa yo eseye
Nèg Kongo kap toujou devan!

Voye rele Ganga!

Ganga rouke, se konsa Ganga pale
Ganga rouke e e
Eee voye rele Ganga
Ganga rouke, se konsa Ganga pale
Ganga rouke
E se rouke na rouke Ganga
Ganga rouke eee
Rouke, rouke Ganga (Ganga rouke)
Konsa Simbi koze
Ganga rouke ee
Konsa Ganga pale (Ganga rouke)
E rouke na rouke Ganga yo!

E ya ya ya
E ya ya ya
E ya ya ya
E ya ya ya

E ya ya ya
E ya ya ya
E ya ya ya

Chèche yo fouye yo pa jwenn
Se rasin nou ye nou poze!

Ganga rouke, se konsa Ganga pale
Ganga rouke e e
Voye rele Ganga
Ganga rouke, se konsa Ganga pale
Ganga rouke
E se rouke na rouke Ganga
Ganga rouke eee
Rouke, rouke Ganga (Ganga rouke)
Konsa Simbi koze
Ganga rouke ee
Konsa Ganga pale (Ganga rouke)
E rouke na rouke Ganga yo!

Ganga rouke, se konsa Ganga pale
Ganga rouke e e
Eee voye rele Ganga
Ganga rouke, se konsa Ganga pale
Ganga rouke
E se rouke na rouke Ganga
Ganga rouke eee
Rouke, rouke Ganga (Ganga rouke)
Konsa Simbi koze
Ganga rouke ee
Konsa Ganga pale (Ganga rouke)
E rouke na rouke Ganga yo!

Ganga rouke
E se rouke na rouke Ganga
Ganga rouke eee
Rouke, rouke Ganga (Ganga rouke)
E rouke na rouke Ganga yo!

Ganga

So many things that happen every day
That I never saw with my own eyes
Lips that don't ever speak
Ears that never hear

But we who can see and hear
Shouldn't just stand around like trees
The angels are watching over us
To help us build our homes

Let us call upon Ganga!

Ganga the powerful, that's how Ganga speaks
Ganga the powerful, oh, oh
Oh darling, call upon Ganga
Ganga the powerful, that's how Ganga speaks
Ganga the powerful
Oh, she's the powerful Ganga
Ganga the powerful, oh yeah
Powerful, powerful Ganga (Ganga the powerful)
That's how Simbi speaks
Ganga the powerful, oh yeah
That's how Ganga speaks (Ganga the powerful)
Oh darling, she's the powerful Ganga!

We are a proud people
Whenever they think we're down
They see us rise again
Every hunter has his day, every prey has its turn
Yes, that's how the Master wills it
No matter what they try
The people of Congo are always ahead!

Call upon Ganga!

Ganga the powerful, that's how Ganga speaks
Ganga the powerful, oh, oh
Oh darling, call upon Ganga
Ganga the powerful, that's how Ganga speaks
Ganga the powerful
Oh, she's the powerful Ganga
Ganga the powerful, oh yeah
Powerful, powerful Ganga (Ganga the powerful)
That's how Simbi speaks
Ganga the powerful, oh yeah
That's how Ganga speaks (Ganga the powerful)
Oh darling, she's the powerful Ganga!

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

They search and dig but they can't find us
We are the roots that we have planted!

Ganga the powerful, that's how Ganga speaks
Ganga the powerful, oh, oh
Call upon Ganga
Ganga the powerful, that's how Ganga speaks
Ganga the powerful
Oh, she's the powerful Ganga
Ganga the powerful, oh yeah
Powerful, powerful Ganga (Ganga the powerful)
That's how Simbi speaks
Ganga the powerful, oh yeah
That's how Ganga speaks (Ganga the powerful)
Oh darling, she's the powerful Ganga!

Ganga the powerful, that's how Ganga speaks
Ganga the powerful, oh, oh
Oh darling, call upon Ganga
Ganga the powerful, that's how Ganga speaks
Ganga the powerful
Oh, she's the powerful Ganga
Ganga the powerful, oh yeah
Powerful, powerful Ganga (Ganga the powerful)
That's how Simbi speaks
Ganga the powerful, oh yeah
That's how Ganga speaks (Ganga the powerful)
Oh darling, she's the powerful Ganga!

Ganga the powerful
Oh, she's the powerful Ganga
Ganga the powerful, oh yeah
Powerful, powerful Ganga (Ganga the powerful)
Oh darling, she's the powerful Ganga!
