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.

This is not so off topic, if the advice is on your Android or iPhone, install SoundHound and when the song plays, hit the listen button. The app will listen and log into an online database of songs and tell you all about the song, plus lyrics, and then you can use google translate to do the justice. ./Ok3ch On Tue, May 17, 2011 at 1:25 PM, Alvin Jason Ochieng <ajochola@gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks Washi,
I have uploaded the mp3 to:
http://www.4shared.com/audio/AmfNO0Bb/song1.html
Please download, listen and translate at your convenience.
The other skeptical skunks, who I believe think my taste of music its questionable, should also download and listen. I can assure you that will love it:-)
Here are a few testimonials:
"I was feeling very low, but after listening to that Bolingo song I felt rejuvenated. May Bolingo live forever."
- Ogechukwu - Nairobi
"I was writing some very complex code at 3 AM in the morning, I had hit a brick wall, but after listening to that Bolingo song, I managed to complete all the code within ten minutes. Thanks Timothy."
- Fares - Mombasa
"I was driving through a remote part of DRC and I was lost, but after listening to the Bolingo music, I just found myself at my destination. Thanks Timo."
- Mblayo - Globetrotter

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
Tim,
Please send me a digital version of the song (I hope you have it on CD) and I will help you translate.

Hmmm... this is interesting! There are skunks on this thread who have previously vehemently criticized other's posts that they were offtopic. Now they're endorsing this one (which by all standards is OFF-TOPIC) just because they are Lingala fanatics. C'mon guys, let's not have double standards. It was a funny one though... i have laughed to tears! :D On Wed, May 18, 2011 at 4:09 PM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com>wrote:

What I have come to learn is that "OT" is not absolute, just like freedom of speech. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.
