Sembele
O mona se uá kuamba mae
Mungongo mumu pe ua jinbirilé
Ué talenu guelito
Lelu henda ua xi dia nketue
Tu ndeka filo mae
Mona uenda pe
Mbonga vokange
Ki ua nbingi pala kumsasa
Sembele samtele ngo kuxicola
Mukonda dia kukuanba mae
Guerito leluabi luka mukoza
Se uala kambolo kujimbie
Sembele
The woman who sings
The back of the head is adorned with jinbirilé
The moon is beautiful
The day is ending
We are going home
The woman is leaving
The voice of the ancestors
The sun is setting
Sembele is coming to dance
The love of singing
The moon is shining
The dance is calling
