About this song

Franco voices a hard, unrepentant husband laying down the law to his wife Marie. He married her, he reminds her — she's in no position to interrogate him about the other woman he's now seeing. If she brings it up once more, he swears he'll cast her aside; if she sees them together, she'd better disappear and not dare fight or badmouth his mistress, whom he loves above all women. An unflinching portrait of a man's double standard.

Verse

Yeba

Get this straight

Soki nga na sali likambo Marie

if I do something, Marie

Nakondimelaka yo

I always answer to you

Naboyi mindondo ya kotunaka ngayi Maria oh

but I won't have your nagging questions, Maria

Nga moto na balaki yo eh

I'm the one who married you

Yo te oh olukaki nga na bolingo

it wasn't you who came seeking my love

Oyebi

you know it

Muasi oyo nga nako kendeke naye

this woman I'm seeing now

Nalembi kotunaka ngayi likambo oyeba

I'm sick of you quizzing me on what you already know

Mokolo oko repeter lisusu

the day you bring it up again

Nzambe Marie Nakotia yo pembeni

I swear to God, Marie, I'll set you aside
