About this song

A 1968 Verckys composition sung by Franco & OK Jazz. A worn-out lover pours out his troubles: friends have turned on him, branded him a witch, dragged his name through the mud, and they hate the woman he loves. Weary and disgraced, he'll even turn to the witch doctors to plead his case. He begs Annie not to wound him — and warns that the confidante she trusts is the very one poisoning them both, hungry to keep them fighting.

Verse

Ah ah Lelo nayebisa nalembi

ah ah, today I'll say it: I'm worn out

Ah ah lelo nayebisa bakoteli nga ndoki oh

ah ah, today I'll say it: they've branded me a witch

Kombo na ngayi ebebi na mokili

my name is ruined in this world

Baninga bamoneli ngayi eh

my friends have turned on me

Soki bomoni na limwe na mokili

if you see me vanish from the world

Baninga bomituna te oh

friends, don't even wonder why

Bayini ngayi eh

they hate me
