I've been listening to a certain Lingala CD and there is this one song that has grown into me...I am now intending to start singing it along the corridors and also in the shower. I am however a cautious person and I do not want to expose inappropriate lyrics to the young ones. I therefore humbly seek the services of anyone on the list, who knows Lingala, to interpret for me at least the following: --------- Bokaya mwinga, ozakoye bateo, baye bavadi nazelo Maia pamba, ekomande olo, yondeke sengite obanzaka Mokili yezali kobeba, boye Mokili yeza kobeba, boye Molimo nayo, ezangithe moyi, keba ozande kolimwa (mikolo na mikolo) Fungu la miso, etalape meni, tangoyekoki ya kulamuka, kanisaba oyo bazangi, ozwi Naleli, pasiya boye onini, ebongito lamuka Naleli, pasiya boye esila, ibela Nalibela aye --------- Please note that I have written the lyrics as I hear them and so you might need to figure out what I might have heard.
