Yasolo vraiment, mbongo
ebongisaka santé, ba ya
toluka mbongo, faut totika
ba jeux

Soki oza na mbongo nde oko
kende ko chiller, I came
from the bottom, used to
pray for sunny days

Yasolo vraiment, mbongo
ebongisaka santé, ba ya
toluka mbongo, faut totika
ba jeux

Soki oza na mbongo nde oko
kende ko chiller, on dit
que le travail est la clé
du succès

I can never fall, I’ve been
working every day still all
alone, don’t want nobody to
touch my body anyway

Used to pray for sunny days
now I got two watches but
I’m still coming late

Ba OGI, toluka mosolo, totika
kozala na sima ya ba ninga
soki oyebi mosala, oza na
mbongo, oko sala nyonso oko
linga

Ebele ba koma ba maka, likolo
ya ko lula biloko ya ba ninga
Travaillez, prenez de la peine
na motoki nde oko zua

Santé eh, tika ba jeux, succès
eh, on dit que le travail est
la clé du succès

I feel tears falling ’cause I’m
tired of staying strong, used
to hate where I came from but
it ain’t no place like home

My family stuck in poverty but
still they hold on, I ain’t
tripping about what they say
about me, the only thing I want

Faut oyeba boulot, na vie ya
lelo otika ko lula, tika ba
jeux. Faut oyeba boulot, na
vie ya lelo otika ko lula,
tika ba jeux.
