LES MANGELEPA NYAKO KONYA LYRICS WITH TRANSLATION

Motema mpe mabanzo - My heart [is full of] thoughts (literally: my heart and thoughts)
Mabanzo ekotinda ngai namela poison - thoughts will drive me to take poison
Soki nakufi bandeko - when i die, my brothers
Bokamwa te - don't be surprised
Nzela na ngai ya bomoi - my life path
Ekei pamba - has been in vain
Motema moto moto - my heart is on fire
Mabala ya bomwana - childish marriages
Eleki makambo - are full of problems
Bampasi nakomona - i'm in such pain
Nalembi kobondela - [that] I'm weary of asking for help
Motema mpe mabanzo - my heart [is full of] thoughts (literally: my heart and thoughts)
Nameka kopesa mokongo - I try to turn my back on it
namemi ngambo - it's an uphill struggle [it's to no avail] (literally: I've carried a mountain)
mabala ya bomwana - childish marriages
Eleki makambo - are full of problems
Motema mpe mabanzo - my heart [is full of] thoughts (literally: my heart and thoughts)
Mabanzo ekotinda ngai namela poison - thoughts will drive me to take poison
Motema ee motondi na mabanzo! - oh, my heart is full of thoughts!
Soki nakufi bandeko - if i die, my brothers
Bokamwa te - don't be surprised
Nzela na ngai ya bomoi - my life path
Ekei pamba - has been in vain[na mayo ...]
Motema moto moto - my heart is on fire
