Mbilia Bel – Eswi Yo Wapi – Lyrics

Tika ngai na vanda na ngai

tika ngai na benda nzoto

obandi kopanza na basango bipayi biso likambo o ngai na nani eh

Let me be on my own

let me break the relationship

before you start spreading news of our issues

Nayokaki yanog nandimi te

kasi namoni lelo mbala misato

makambo nza koboma na nzoto na ngai tembe yango yo na nani eh

I heard this I dont accept it but today I saw you three times

I have difficutl issues who do you doubt?

Ozali mobali ngai nazali mwasi tembe yango yo na nani eh

nabangi mobali ya polo-polo lokola yo oyo mpasi eh

You are man and I am a woman, who do you doubt?

I fear a gossiping man like you who is difficult

Obongisaki ngai nandimi

olatisi ngai mpe omemi nsango obimisaki ngai bipayi biso

mpo ya kolakisa nse lokumu na yo moko

You fixed me up and I agreed with that

you dressed me well and took me out to show me off everywhere

only to take credit for yourself

Okimaki ngai ntango nabeli

osalisi ngai ata moke te

bandima mobali na mboka na biso oyo likambo nse kosalisa ah papa

You ran away when i was sick

you didn’t even help me a little

in our village we believe a man shows his worth by how he helps (his family), papa

Osundoli ngai na famille na ntango na mpasi

likambo yango ezali awa na motema

obanga lisumu te oza kotonga

ka okoloba mpo na soni eh

You abandoned me and the family in difficult times

these issues are in my heart

you aren’t afraid of the sins you commit

but you speak because of shame

Tuna ngai nayebisa yo o

mosala mobali ko nini eh

Nzambe atinda Adamu na kati ya mokili asalisa Eva

Ask me and I will tell you

what is men’s work

God sent Adam to this world to help Eve

Moke opesa ngai osilisi maloba ki mobali na yo ya nini o papa

opesa ngai lopango ata ko ba voiture ofuti nyongo ya Adamu na Eva

bandima mobali na santé ya mwasi mpe na capacité na ye ya kolatisa

You tell everyone what little you give me, what kind of man are you?

the house and car you gave me is you paying Adam’s debt to Eve

they accept a man who keeps his woman healthy and has the ability to keep her dressed well

Tika ngai na vanda na ngai

tika napemisa nzoto

nabandi kozwa mopepe moke ya rebours

makambo na yo nabosani eh

Let me be alone

let me rest

I want to start breathing some other air

so that I can forget your issues

Oyebisi na bato te ngai nabala te eswi yo wapi eh

ozali koloba te yo sukola ngai epayi wapi eh

ozwa ngai wai eh olula ngai ndenge nini eh

obala ngai ntina eh opeis ngai nini eh

oyoki ngai na moto eye ko deranger na ntina nini eh

nalata nabonga obeli nde liboma ya ntina nini eh

O tokomi wapi eh mabe na ngai otinde wapi eh

ntango nazalaki kolela sentiment otiaki wapi eh

eswi yo wapi eh eswi yo epayi wapi eh o

You tell people that i’m not married, where does it hurt you?

you say that you cleansed me, at which place?

where did you get me? how did you admire me?

why did you marry me? what did you give me?

why does it disturb you when you hear I’m with someone else?

why do you go mad when I dress well?

where have we reached, where is my suffering?

where did you put your feelings when I was crying?

I now removed my body from the cooking pot

where does it hurt you, exactly where does it hurt you?

Eswi yo wapi eh, eswi yo epayi wapi eh

eswi yo wapi eh, eswi yo epayi wapi eh

Where does it hurt you, where exactly does it hurt you?

where does it hurt you, where exactly does it hurt you?
