Текст и перевод песни Lokua Kanza - Moninga

Moninga

Yo mabe, yo liwa, yo mabe, yo oh yo liwa

Moninga na ngai akeyi kopema na banzelu
Molimo n'esengo pe kimia
Soki pe liwa yango ezala ata nzembo
Baninga to yemba azonga

Moninga akeyi eh mawa na motema
Akozonga lisusu te wo eh
Baboti bakolela likama ekweyi na kati
Ya libota
Ye akeyi na ye, akozonga lisusu te
Tokotikala na mawa na motema ye akeyi

Moninga na ngai akeyi kopema na banzelu
Molimo n'esengo pe kimia (Moninga akeyi na ye eh)
Soki pe liwa yango ezala ata nzembo
Baninga to yemba azonga

Yo liwa, yo mabe, omemeli ngai ndeko
Ye na bolenge okumbiye asilisaki nai no
Boyimi te
Ndege nini tokotikala na mawa
Ndeko akeyi na ye akozonga, te akozonga te

Moninga na ngai akeyi kopema na banzelu
Molimo n'esengo pe kimia (Moninga ya lisano anani eh)
Soki pe liwa yango ezala ata nzembo
Baninga to yemba azonga

Ye akozonga te eh ye ye
Oh yo liwa mabe eh eh
Likambonini yo liwa ah
Yo liwa mabe eh - yo kamateli nagai ndeko
Akeyi akozonga lisusu te
Yo liwa, yo mabe
Ye akeyi kopema molimo n'esengo
Soki pe liwa yango

My Friend

Oh dear, oh my, oh dear, oh oh oh my

My friend came to start life in paradise
Living in joy and in peace
If death should come, let there be music
We the people must ask that it comes back

My friend came in sorrow in my heart
Will never come again eh
Parents will leave a huge space in their midst
Of the family
He came on his own, will never come again
We will remain in sorrow in our hearts, he came

My friend came to start life in paradise
Living in joy and in peace (My friend came on his own eh)
If death should come, let there be music
We the people must ask that it comes back

Oh my, oh dear, you have taken my brother
In just a moment, you have finished him, and me too
Do not be afraid
What kind of a bird will we be without sorrow
Brother came on his own, will come back, will not come back

My friend came to start life in paradise
Living in joy and in peace (My friend from such and such a place eh)
If death should come, let there be music
We the people must ask that it comes back

He will never come back eh ye ye
Oh oh my so dear eh eh
In vain oh death ah
Oh my so dear eh - you have taken my brother
He came, will never come again
Oh my, oh dear
He came to start life in joy and peace
If death should come
