Naufufua uzi...Mkuu Roga Roga naomba tafsiri ya Wimbo wa Kanda Bongoman -Bill na wa Madilu System -Frere Eduardo.
Frere Édouard ya Madilu system
1). Ha, ha, ha, ha, Brother Edouard
He shares laughter and cries
If catfish tells you that crocodile is ill
Believe him because they both live inside water
1) Ha, ha, ha, ha, Frere Edouard
A pimelaka moto ko seka na ko lela te, Frere Edouard
Soki ngolo ayebisi yo que ngando aza malade
Ndimela ye oh, po bango nyoso ba vandaka na mayi
2) Nights come
The sun also rises, women wake up
They go to buy bread from bakery
They are the people who wake us up, it is morning
2) Butu eko komaka eh
Tongo pe eko tanaka eh, ba mama ba ko lamuka na tongo
Ko luka mapa na boulangerie
Bango nde ba ko lamusaka biso, tongo esi etani
3) You, women who sell bread
Kinshasa has forgotten about you
It forgot that you wake us up in the morning
Because birds and chickens who used to wake us up
Disappeared
3) Ba mama ya mapa
Kinshasa a bosana bino eh
Que bino bato bo lamusaka biso na tongo
Po ba ndeke na ba soso ba bandaka ko lamusa
biso na tongo, Ba bunga oh
4) I, Diesa, was born on a Sunday
This is why I am used to worshiping on Sundays
I am used to going to evening prayers
Because I love God
4) Nga, Diesa, na botama na nga mokolo ya eyenga ah
Yango mpe na mesana ko sambela
mikolo minso ya lomingo
Na pokwa nga na mesana ko kende messe na nga
Po nalula Nzambe eh
Instrumental
5) I arrive at church
Brother Edouard admires me in public
He shouts in front of believers that I am his spiritual wife
I should leave all fleshly men
5) Nakomi na ndako ya Nzambe
Frere Edoire a luli nga na miso ya bato
A beleli na miso ya ba ndimi ngai
mwasi naye ya molimo
Na tika mibali nyoso ya misuni
6) I follow Brother Edouard’s lies
I arrive at brother Edouard’s house
Brother Edouard makes me wear a long dress
Cover my hair with a scarf
Brother Edouard you surprise me
6) Na landi nanga lokuta ya Frere Edouard
Nakomi na ndako ya Frere Edouard
Frere Edouard alobi na lata robe ya molayi
Na tiya kitambala na moto
Frere Edoure okamwisi nga
7) Oh me, Liya, it is sad
Brother Edouard didn’t you
admire me the way that I was
How come you are so greedy
You don’t want other people to look at me
7) Ah ngai, Liya, mawa ah
Frere Edouard,
olulaki ngai na ndenge na ngai te Frere Edouard
Boni yo moyimi boye
Olingi ba tala nga na ndeko mosusu te
8) Only you alone
I know that I am your wife
What makes you scared, Brother Edouard
Trust me the way I trust my faith
8) Kaka yo moko
Nayebi nyoso naza mwasi nayo
Obangaka nini, Frere Edouard
Pesa nga confiance lokola na mi pesa na molimo
9) Believer!
The thing that I don’t like about Brother Edouard
If visitors come to see us
My relatives or his
9) Ba ndimi eh
Eloko na monaka Frere Edouard mabe
Soki ba paya ba ye na ndako
To ya famille na ngai, to ya famille naye
10) You will notice that Brother Edouard
will become very sad
Like a 5 years old boy
Who hasn’t had breakfast yet
Eh, brothers and sisters
Brother Edouard gets especially mad
10) Oko mona Frere Edouard akomi mawa mawa
Lokola mwana ya moke ya 5ans
Nanu azwi petit déjeuner na tongo te
Eh, ba frere na ba soeur
Surtout kanda ezalaka na Frere Edouard
11) If you ask him for money to buy juice for visitors
He often brings out a bible
So that we can read it together
Another thing, about Brother Edouard
11) Ko meka ata senga ye sucrée
te na sombela ba paya
Wana oko mona Frere Edouard abimiseli yo bible
Bo tanga esika moko
Et puis eloko mosusu, ezalaka na Frere Edouard
12) If he is upset with you
It is like somebody who has been handcuffed by police
Ah, me, Liya
I used to be a fine woman
12) Soki akangeli yo kanda
Eza lokola moto ba kangi ye na menotte na ba police
Ah, nga, Liya eh
Nga moto nazalaka mwasi ya elongi elengi
13) Today I look like a black African pears
Sinners are now surprised about how I look
Well, I don’t know
I am wondering if all brothers behave like him
Ha, ha, ha, ha,
13) Lelo nakomi lokola safu oyo eyindi na nzete
Batu kutu ya misuni ba koma ko kamwa ngai
En fin, nayebi te
Soki ba frere nyoso ba zalaka obe boye oh
Ha, ha, ha, ha,
14) In your car
All stickers says grace to God
In our house
Jesus’ picture are everywhere
14) Na voiture nayo
Autocollant nyoso ba koma grace a Dieu
Na ndako na biso
Mur nyoso photo ya Yesu
15) In your hand
You always hold a rosary, Brother Edouard
Learn how to share, learn also how to forgive people
15) Na maboko naye oh
Chapelet ezangaka te, Frere Edouard
Yekola ko kaba, yekola pe ko limbisa bato ngo oh
Instrumental
16) Lightning strikes in the sky
But it doesn’t kill everybody
Sometimes it kills the husband
And leave the wife and children
16) Kake ebetaka likolo oh
Ebomaka nango bato nyoso te oh
Tango mosusu eko boma mobali
Etiki mwasi na bana
17) What goes around comes around
Good deeds that we do on earth
Is rewarded in heaven
Brother Edouard learn how to share
Learn also how to forgive people
17) Mabe toko salaka o se, eko futamaka o se
Bolamu toko salaka o se
Eko futamaka o likolo
Frere Edouard yekola ko kaba
Yekola pe ko limbiso bato eh
