Soki Yo Te

If You Were Not There

Soki Yo Te

If you were not there, my savior, I would be deadSoki yo te masiya nde nga oyo esi na kufa kala
If you were not there, my savior, I would be lostSoki yo te masiya nde nga oyo esi na beba kala
If you don't put me on the list of the chosen onesSoki yo teba tia nga na liste ya liwa
Have mercy on me so I can liveSa lengela nga po na kufa
But the grace of God is powerfulKasi ngolu ya nzambe eleki makasi penza
Heir of misfortune by bloodHeritier du malheur par le sang
Blind me to innocenceAveugler nga ko innoncent
But the great master, you will not let me dieKasi mokonzi monene a ndimi ko kufela nga

If you were not there, my savior, I would be deadSoki yo te masiya nde nga oyo esi na kufa kala
If you were not there, my savior, I would be lostSoki yo te masiya nde nga oyo esi na beba kala
If you really are an orphan, tell me whySoki yo tena mitunaka orphelin atanga ndenge nini
He doesn't call his mother, he doesn't ask for school, he doesn't finish his studiesYe ko tata te maman te asilisi kelasi kino azui diplome
Many people around me, just one orphan, the way you treat meBa mbala mingi nga moko na mitunaka bisika ozuwa nga
To become what you have entrusted me with todayPona nakoma oyo o komisi nga lelo
My testimony in my heart if people knowTemoignage na nga na motema soki bato bayebi
Even the angels in heaven will applaudAta b'angelu na likolo ba tatola oo oooh

If you were not there, my savior, I would be deadSoki yo te masiya nde nga oyo esi na kufa kala
If you were not there, my savior, I would be lostSoki yo te masiya nde nga oyo esi na beba kala
If you are the God of second chanceSoki yo tenzambe ya seconde chance
When people are mocking youBisika bato ba kangi bikuke
You tell me to forgive for another time, yayaOlobi na nga oko fungola po na leka lisusu yaya
If I didn't have the God of Jacob for meSi je n'avais pour moi le Dieu de jacob
In the morning he would have gone to Kinshasa and in all the life of todayNa mituni akokaki okoma wapi na kinshasa mpe na vie nioso ya lelo
People make plansBasala ba plan
They wait until the last minuteBa lengela kutu jusqu'a la derniere minute
But suddenly my master is calling meKasi suka suka mokonzi na nga ako tindika banga

If you were not there, my savior, I would be deadSoki yo te masiya nde nga oyo esi na kufa kala
If you were not there, my savior, I would be lostSoki yo te masiya nde nga oyo esi na beba kala

All of mine are jealous (the master who gave me life)Nioso ya nga eko sanjola (mokonzi oyo a ndima liwa po na nga)
My hero is worthy of praise (I know why I adore him on my knees)Mon hero est digne de louange (je sais pourquoi je l'adore a jenoux)
For the song of my heart they will not erasePo bilembo ya motema ba effacaka te oh

If you were not there, my savior, I would be deadSoki yo te masiya nde nga oyo esi na kufa kala
If you were not there, my savior, I would be lostSoki yo te masiya nde nga oyo esi na beba kala
If you were to be called to die, butSoki yo teba benga a kufa lobi kasi
They would say you are in good healthBaye lobi ba kuti nga en bonne sante
For they call you Jehovah RaphaPo ba bengaka yo jehovah rapha
They put a bandage in the darkBa lengeli motambu dans le noir
But they tell me my shepherd is also the lightKasi ba bosani mon berger est aussi la lumiere
Who enlightens my soul at all timesQui eclaire mon ame en tout temps
My master even in the darkMokonzi na nga ata na butu
He provides health, family, business and all the things that matterA batelaka santé, famille entreprise pe biloko nioso oyo eza yanga

If you were not there, my savior, I would be deadSoki yo te masiya nde nga oyo esi na kufa kala
If you were not there, my savior, I would be lostSoki yo te masiya nde nga oyo esi na beba kala
If you are jealous of me, they will not erase the song of my heart (the master who gave me life)Soki yo tenioso ya nga eko sanjola (mokonzi oyo a ndima liwa po na nga)
My hero is worthy of praise (I know why I adore him on my knees)Mon héro est digne de louange (je sais pourquoi je l'adore a genoux)
For the song of my heart they will not erasePo bilembo ya motema ba effacaka te
