Tabu Ley Rochereau & African Fiesta - Omanga - Lyrics - Paroles

Balola elongi namona  

seka mino pembe emonana 

tambola moke ngai natala

zonga pembeni mpo tosolola  

ngai nayoka nzoto mpo nailing yo 
turn your head so I can see
laugh, show your white teeth

 walk a little so I can watch
come back closer so we can talk
I feel in my body I love you (?)

 Lelo na pokwa yo tobima 

lata kitoko ngai nalula 

bakanga yo pe suki ya maboko  

nzelanzela tango tokobima 
kotala moto te, noki nakufa na zua ehh  
let's go out this afternoon
wear something pretty I can admire

let them braid your hair

when we go out in the street

don't look at anyone else or I will quickly die of jealousy

 Cherie Omanga tozonga ndako osolola ngai moke ndenge nini okola 
Omanga leki Omehonga yebisa yasolo soki yo olingi ngai  
Cherie Omanga let's go back to the house and talk about how you grew up/your childhood

Omanga younger sister to Omehonga, let me know if you love me for real

Balola elongi namona 

pusana pembeni natala yo 
Omanga naye zoba mpo nalingi yo (2x)

turn your head so I can see

come closer so I look at you

Omanga I have become stupid because I love you (2x)

Fungola ndako ngai nakota  
  fanda nakiti mpo tosolola

benga ba temoins bamona biso 

pesa masanga mpo bamela 

Omanga naye zoba mpo nalingi yo

open your house so I can enter
sit on the couch so we can talk
call witness so they can see us
give them beer to drink
Omanga I have become stupid because I love you


Benga baboti mpo tolobana  

nameka nzoto mwana mobali  

soki pe mbongo nakoluka  

bipayi binso nakopanza sango 

Omanga bakomi komoni ngai nde liboma  

call your parents to tell them
let's try to have a son
if I need money I will look for it
I will spread the news everywhere
Omanga they're starting to see me as crazy
