About this song

Tabu Ley and African Fiesta paint a portrait of a pretender. Desperate to outshine his rivals, he begs Matondo for a loan just to look like a big man and win respect. His secret: flash the chequebook while the account sits empty. Don't be shocked, he shrugs, if you hear he's been hauled off — the debts have simply piled too high. A wry warning that debt is a wicked thing.

Matondo

Defisa nga mua mbongo nakoya ko zongisa oh

lend me a bit of money, I'll pay it back

Nazali na tembe na ba mbanda

I'm in a rivalry with my competitors

Nalingi na yebisa bango ngayi pe na koka

I want to show them that I'm somebody too

Wana bako banga nga

then they'll respect me
