Course au Pouvoir

Oyembi yembi ngai mon frère, Wana nde ezali lisano

You keep singing about me, brother — that's just a game

Oyembeli nga ba vie privée oh, wana nde motema lokoso

you sing about my private life — that's a greedy heart

Lelo na ba vie privée oh, lobi eko koma na ba famille

today it's the private life, tomorrow it'll be the families

Lobi nazalaki mon frère, lelo nakomi opposition

yesterday I was your brother, today I'm the opposition

Okomi nde yembele yembele lokola mwana etike bandeko

you go on singing and singing like an orphan, my friends

Nionso oyo ko yembela nga, ezali kaka course au pouvoir

everything you sing about me is nothing but a race for power

Olobi nga na niati liyanzi, yo oniati tonga mon frère

you say I stepped on a splinter — but you stepped on a needle, brother

Yango course au pouvoir

Oyembi yembi ngai mon frère, Wana nde ezali lisano

Oyembeli nga ba vie privée oh, wana nde motema lokoso

Lelo na ba vie privée oh, lobi eko koma na ba famille

Lobi nazalaki mon frère, lelo nakomi opposition

Okomi nde yembele yembele lokola mwana etike bandeko

Nionso oyo ko yembela nga, ezali kaka course au pouvoir

Olobi nga na niati liyanzi, yo oniati tonga mon frère

Olingaka na zuaka te oh, po to yebana bomuana

Olingaka ba tangaka te oh, kombo na nga na miso na yo

Olingaka ko sala semblant na bolamu nga na sala yo

Olingaka ko yokaka te oh, franco asali likambu boye

Olingaka tosalaka conquérance, ba moyens nde eko zangaka yo

Obomi miziki ya bato eh, na lokoso nayo ya caminion

Olingaka ba kumisa nga te oh, na miso na yo motema pasi ooo

Olingaka to kutanaka te oooo, motema nayo eko pasukaka

Osekisaka ngai mon frère na likolo ya mbebo

Olingaka to sekana te oh, na miso na nga oyokaka soni

Olingaka na motema na yo, kombo ya franco elimwa

Nzambe asala yuda malamu eh, yuda abalukela ye na sima

Nzambe asala yuda malamu eh, yuda abalukela ye na sima
