Текст и перевод песни Charlotte Dipanda - Kumbe elolo

Kumbe elolo

Muna simsè nyolo, Batudu be wa boso
Muna simsè nyolo tobwanè o longuè
Muna simsè nyolo, Batudu be wa boso
Muna simsè nyolo tobwanè o longuè

Ndjika muna nyu si ma senguè
Maléa ména Batudu ba bo no mo
Nde a dangwanè kumba o ka la o bia la longuè
Nde dima kwésè mo miso
A sibi na wenguè a pimbédi
Na kiyèlè tobwa musi mende, sunga mudi mwao

Muna simsè nyolo, Batudu be wa boso
Muna simsè nyolo tobwanè o longuè
Muna simsè nyolo, Batudu be wa boso
Muna simsè nyolo tobwanè o longuè

Ndjika muna nyu si ben dibiyè
A kolongonè bato miendé ma oh
Nde a dangwanè kumba o ka la o bia longuè
Nde dima pè kwésè mo miso

A sibi na wenguè a pimbédi
Na kiyèlè tobwa musi mende
Sungo mudi mwao

Muna simsè nyolo, Batudu be wa boso
Muna simsè nyolo tobwanè o longuè
Muna simsè nyolo, Batudu be wa boso
Muna simsè nyolo tobwanè o longuè

A sibi na wenguè a pimbédi
Na kiyèlè tobwa disi mende
Sungo mudi mwao

Muna simsè nyolo, Batudu be wa boso
Muna simsè nyolo tobwanè o longuè
Muna simsè nyolo, Batudu be wa boso
Muna simsè nyolo tobwanè o longuè

Kumbe elolo

I sit in the shade, Telling stories in my own language
I sit in the shade for as long as I want
I sit in the shade, Telling stories in my own language
I sit in the shade for as long as I want

When I drink your water, I become your servant
You promised me stories, But they were not there
You said you'd come with me, But you did not keep your word
You said you would always love me
But your heart was filled with lies
And your words were nothing but empty promises, Broken like your soul

I sit in the shade, Telling stories in my own language
I sit in the shade for as long as I want
I sit in the shade, Telling stories in my own language
I sit in the shade for as long as I want

When I drink your water, I become your slave
You build your house on my back, With the stones of my pain
You said you'd come with me, But you did not keep your word
You said you would always love me

But your heart was filled with lies
And your words were nothing but empty promises
Broken like your soul

I sit in the shade, Telling stories in my own language
I sit in the shade for as long as I want
I sit in the shade, Telling stories in my own language
I sit in the shade for as long as I want

But your heart was filled with lies
And your words, They were nothing but empty promises
Broken like your soul

I sit in the shade, Telling stories in my own language
I sit in the shade for as long as I want
I sit in the shade, Telling stories in my own language
I sit in the shade for as long as I want
