its not a competition,were one has to win
its love of husband and wife,not between bruce lee and chuck norris
its not either a boxing clash where one has to be knocked out
its love between husband and his wife
not between ali and forem
you took hold of my teeth and then threw me a bone,and when i wanted to suck it you took it back(not sure about english translation but anyway its a metaphor about a man who is destroying his woman's life),why oh why?
why do you act as if you only married me to impress people (rather than truly love me)
you have destroyed all my pride as a woman
everywhere i go,people are mocking me,treating me like a piece of paper,humiliating me...
find for me somewhere i can hide,because of all the shame you have caused to me
if in a sea, i can tell fishes about you and i before they sleep
ibecause in a forest,lion would not welcome me as my story would make him cry,and the other animals wont fear him anymore,even antelopes will laugh at him
how can the king of the forest cry?they would ask themselves,but they dont know the lion would cry because lioness could do him the same as me
find for me somewhere i can hide,because in the air birds will think i am invading their space
if underground,saprophytes would think they have got a prey,whereas i am still alive
i was hidden there to run away from shame,but the place of my grave could be forgotten so i'd rather go elsewhere
even virus has an antidote which is antivirus,love is the invention of God but he did not give us instructions so we lovers expected Jesus to come on earth and marry so we can see how it works but unfortunately Jesus did not do it
that's why we lovers grope,that's why we struggle,sometimes it goes well sometimes not at all
salt even when dissolved in food can produce traces on lips,but you since you disappeared no trace nor sight of you
you dont realise you could cause my death
adolphe now you want to run away from me,our bed would become as huge as a football stadium for me,and i will become as small as a ball
my nights will be difficult and troublesome because you my antidote to sadness are not there
i love you and you know it well,i call my sweetheart,why are you doing this to me?i gave you my love and even my life(as a bonus)
even if you meet a generious priest,do not expect him to give you communion twice( analogy about giving her love AND her life to mean she gave much more than what she should have because of love)
i beg those who died long ago,from malaria,from accident,from gun shots,from suicide...to ask God since they live next to him if you could reduce the pain of those who suffer due to love
because he says He is love,yes He is love

OMG !!! This is brilliant, I love this song and always wondered where I could get the lyrics. you went as far as doing an english translation. You deserve a beer my friend. Merci Boucoup !!!
ReplyDeleteHAHA! thank you!! All the praises go to ARCHOS who posted the lyrics on the Vibes d'Afrique forums (Proboards). I too am grateful for these lyrics. I have many more I have collected also from Prince Sab that I have yet to post. Stay tuned!! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThanks this awesome song and lyrics , I had some little modification to the concept
ReplyDeleteThe translation is great but it miss some kinois mind in it:
It's not a competition,were one has to win
It's love of husband and wife,not between Bruce lee and chuck Norris
it's not either a boxing clash where one has to be knocked out
it's love between husband and his wife
Not between Ali and Foreman
You took hold of my teeth and then through me a bone,
And when i wanted to suck it you took it back
(it's a metaphor about playing with someone feelings)
Why oh why? why do you act as if you only with me to impress people
You have destroyed all my pride as a woman
Everywhere I go, people are laughing at me,
Treating me like a piece of crap, humiliating me...
Please please find me a place to hide,
'Cause I can't stand the shame anymore
If in the ocean, at least could tell my story to the fish
Because in a forest lion would not welcome me
As my story would make him cry,
And the other animals won't fear him anymore,
Even antelopes will laugh at him
How come the king of the forest is crying?
They would ask themselves, but they don't know
That the lion would cry because
Lioness could do same to him
Please please find me a place to hide,
Because in the air birds will think i am invading their space
If underground ants will take me for food, when am still alive.
I was hidden there to run away from shame,
But the place of my grave could be forgotten
So I'd rather go elsewhere
Even virus has an antidote which is antivirus,
But the guy who invented love
He did not give us instructions
That's why we were expecting,
For Jesus to come on Earth and teach us
So we can see how it work
But unfortunately Jesus had no girlfriend
That's why we blindfold,
That's why we keep trying and struggling,
Sometimes it goes well sometimes not at all
Salt even when dissolved in food
Can leave his traces on your tongue,
But you since you disappeared
No trace, nor sight of you
You don't realize that you are killing me
Now you want to run away from me,
Our bed would become as huge as a football field
And my health weak and small as a ball
My nights will become longer and troublesome
Because you my antidote of sadness
And my pill of happiness
I love you and you know it well,
You are my sweetheart!!!
Why are you doing this to me?
I gave you my love and even my life as a bonus
Even thou a priest is generous
Don't you even think about to ask him communion twice.
[Fally is trying to say: I gave you everything and you still asking for more]
I beg to those who died long ago,
From malaria, from accident, from war,
To those who kill themselves for money
To ask God since they are next to him
If you could reduce the pain
Of those who are suffering because LOVE
Since he says that He is Love,
Yes God He is love.
Even thou a virus has an antidote which is anti-virus,
But the guy who invented love
He did not give us instructions
That's why we were expecting,
For Jesus to come on Earth and teach us
So we can see how it work
But unfortunately Jesus had no girlfriend
That's why we blindfold,
That's why we keep trying and struggling,
Sometimes it goes well sometimes not at all
/Salt even when dissolved in food
Can leave his traces on your tongue,
But you since you disappeared
No trace, nor sight of you
You don't realize that you are killing me/ 2x
