Mother Murakoze (feat. Alvie Bitemo)

You wiped away my tearsOpanguisi maya miso na ngaï
You washed my faceOsokoli elongui na na ngaï
As I pass, people look at meNa miso ya bato, na koleka, bako tala ngaï
In people’s eyes, I became visibleNa miso ya bato, na koleka, bako mona ngaï

I thank you, I thank youNa tondi yo, na tondi yo
How shall I repay you?Nazongue sela yo nini
What can I give you?Na pessa yo nini
What can I tell you?Na loba na yo nini

You, you pick us up from the groundYo nde olokotaka bana na se ya mabele
You, you, lift your children up from the mudYo nde olokotaka bana nakati ya poto poto

You showed the wayYo lakissi nzela
You made them respectedOkomissi ye moto
You showed the wayYo lakissi nzela

To shine in front of peopleAkomi pe ko nguenga
