About this song

Dr Nico pours out a lovesick plea to Doris. He's swallowed no end of humiliation just for the chance to speak with her and win a little dignity in return — a love that will hold, he swears, until his dying day. Sleepless, he tells his younger siblings to leave the door open and waits for her; grown and ready to marry, he can only ask himself, heart aching, what more he can do.

Verse

Nalingi yo na motema

I love you with all my heart

Sala malamu moninga

be good to me, my friend

Ndeko ya Congo sala gentil

sister of Congo, be kind

Na sambwe mingi po to solola nayo po nga nayo to yebana

I've swallowed so much shame just to talk with you, to know each other

Pesa nga longonia ya zolo

grant me a little dignity

Na miso ya ko lalisa

with those eyes that lull me to sleep

Doris

Doris

Ti suka ya liwa na ngayi

right up to my dying day

Ngayi awa motema ebongi te ye

here I am, my heart in torment
