About this song

A triumphant homecoming anthem (1962/63) as African Fiesta returns to Léopoldville. Having withered under rivals' insults while they were away, the band welcomes its "champions" back — Nico, Rochereau and company — and the rivals are left humiliated.

Verse

Africa a zongi na LĂ©o

Africa is back in LĂ©opoldville

Tikani lelo biso to sepela

let us rejoice today

Africa tango bokendeki

Africa, while you were away

Biso awa tokondi na ko finga

here we wasted away under the insults

Boya bino nionso ko tala oh

come, all of you, and see

Bana Africa lelo oyo bazongi

the children of Africa are back today

Toko yebisa maloba na biso na motindo oyo tokondi na kofinga

we'll speak our piece — how the insults wasted us away
