Diba La Bobe

Diba wengue le
Beat of the drums
The call of the ancestors
Beat of the drums

We are here to sing for you
Sweetheart
We have come to take you away from this wicked world
Ebola is wicked
Iye e eeh
We are here for you
Ebola is killing us
The monkey has brought us the disease of the white man

This is how it started
So we came together
The witch doctor drank a potion to see into the future
Olio olio eeh
I feel tempted
So I took the drum and the guitar and I said to her play for me

You are the diamond
You are the star in the sky
I will always love you
You are my guiding star

Here we go again
We are back in the village
But we are still singing to chase away the sickness
Oloi oloi eh my dear
I feel tempted
So I took the drum and the guitar and I said to her play for me

Humm. You are the diamond
You are the star in the sky
I will always love you
Ya you are my guiding star
My heart

Diba wengue le
Beat of the drums
The call of the ancestors
Beat of the drums
My mother's wengue is mine
Beat of the drums
So I will not lose it
Beat of the drums

Eh yakata
Ah baby dance with me
Eh yakata
Ah baby let's dance together
Eh yakata
Ah baby dance with me
Eh yakata
Ah baby come on

She is the one who has the medicine
I will not give up on my wengue
If I do not sing I will die
With this song I will chase away the disease
You too must come and sing with us
We will dance and sing together

I am the one who is singing
She is the one who has the medicine
I will not give up on my wengue
Eh yakata
Ah baby dance with me
