Azalaki Awa
Azalaki awa pembeni na nga
Esika akeyi ekaboli nga na ye
Ye na mobembo nga ko mosika
Distance na kati ye na ngambo ngai na ngambo
Tango mosusu soki na kanisi ndenge
Oyo tozalaki epesi nga kobanga
Moto na lingi akoma mosika
Na tondi na ba souvenir na motema
Na lela na nani na sala ko nini na kende ko wapi
Nakomi se ko banza ngai moko
Azalaki se awa (se awa)
Cherie akeyi na ye
Alobaki na nga akozonga (se awa)
Nga ko na zelaka ye
Azalaki se awa (se awa)
Cherie akeyi mosika
Alobaki na ngai akozonga (se awa)
Suka se akoya
Na kolemba te na kozela ye solo
Nga na kokoka kokanga se motema
Na meka na tanga mokanda na
Ye makila eko panzana nzoto ekolenga
Na komi koyoka mongongo na ye
Na miso na komona se elili na ye
Na kati ya ndoto mobimba cherie
Asimbi nga loboko hoo na zui trouble
Na fongola miso na tala pembeni kasi moto te
Na komi komituna nga moko
Azalaki se awa (se awa)
Cherie akeyi na ye
Alobaki na nga akozonga (se awa)
Nga ko na zelaka ye
Azalaki se awa (se awa)
Cherie akeyi mobembo
Alobaki na nga akozonga (se awa)
Suka se akoya
Lelo na ndimi baye baloba
Solo maladi ya bolingo eza na kisi te
Bolingo lokola elanga ya rose
Ekoli yo motema batela yango malamu
Na sima ya mikolo tosala malasi
Partout toko kende topakola yango
Kuna ozali olotoko nga ata
Na suka ya pongi po na bika
Pota na motema ezali kosenga presence na yo
Nakomi se koyemba ngai moko
Azalaki se awa (se awa)
Cherie akeyi na ye
Alobaki na nga akozonga (se awa)
Nga ko nazelaka ye
Azalaki se awa (se awa)
Cherie akeyi mosika
Alobaki na nga akozonga (se awa)
Suka se akoya
Nayebi akozonga (se awa)
Nakangi motema kasi pasi esili te
Zonga o consoler nga (se awa)
Nabandi kobela
It Was Here
It was here right next to me
Where she left me hanging on
Her on this journey so far away
Distance between her and me on either side
Sometimes when I think about it
What we had made me feel scared
The one I love is now so far
I’m filled with memories in my heart
Crying, wondering what to do, where to go
I’ve started to lose myself
It was here (it was here)
Baby, she left me
She told me she’d come back (it was here)
I’m just waiting for her
It was here (it was here)
Baby, she’s far away
She told me she’d come back (it was here)
When she comes back
I won’t be waiting for her for real
I can’t help but hold on to my heart
I’m trying to read the letter from
Her words will lift my spirit high
I’ve started to hear her voice
With my eyes, I see her light
In the middle of a dream, baby
She took my hand, oh, no trouble
I opened my eyes, looked around but no one there
I’ve started to question myself
It was here (it was here)
Baby, she left me
She told me she’d come back (it was here)
I’m just waiting for her
It was here (it was here)
Baby, she’s on a journey
She told me she’d come back (it was here)
When she comes back
Today I believe what they say
The truth is love sickness isn’t a joke
Love like a rose’s thorn
It can pierce your heart, be careful with it
After the days, we’ll make it right
Everywhere we go, we’ll celebrate it
There, you’re still my heart
At the end of the night, I’ll be alright
The beat of my heart is asking for your presence
I’ve started to sing to myself
It was here (it was here)
Baby, she left me
She told me she’d come back (it was here)
I’m just waiting for her
It was here (it was here)
Baby, she’s far away
She told me she’d come back (it was here)
When she comes back
I know she’ll return (it was here)
I’m holding my heart but the pain isn’t over
Come back and comfort me (it was here)
I’ve started to cry.
