Mbilia Bel – Mobali Na Ngai Wana lyrics
Likambo ya motema oyo
(This problem of the heart)
Likambo ya motema oyo
(This problem of the heart)
Bako samba bako lemba
(They will talk endlessly)
Bako silisa ba zuzi
(They will use all the judges)
Moto alingi alingi
(When a person loves, she loves)
Mobali ya motindo oyo
(This kind of man)
Mobali ya motindo oyo
(This kind of man)
Kitoko etondi na nzoto
(Very beautiful)
Azali pe na mwa mbongo
(He also has a bit of money)
Na moni akoki na nga
(I think he is good for me)
Na zela te naya ko zanga
(I won’t wait, I may lose him)
Na zela te naya ko zanga
(I won’t wait, I may lose him)
Ko bala ekoma na chance
(Getting married is a matter of luck)
Basi kitoko ba tondi mboka
(The town is full of beautiful women)
Ba zanga mabala ba tula
(They all are not married)
Likambo ya bolingo oyo
(This thing about love)
Bolingo ya mobali oyo
(The love of this man)
Ebeti ba ngonga na mboka
(Rang the bell in town)
Bato na bato ba ganga
Moto na poni na poni
(I chose the one I want)
Mobali na nga wana nako mema ye na mokongo
(That husband of mine, I will carry him in my back)
Mobali na nga wana nako mema ye na mokongo
(That husband of mine, I will carry him in my back)
Oh mobali na nga oyo nako leisa ye na maboko
(This husband of mine, I will feed him with my hand)
Mobali na nga oyo nako leisa ye na maboko
(This husband of mine, I will feed him with the hands)
Mobali na nga wana nako leisa ye lokola bebe
(That husband of mine, I will feed him like a baby)

Oh mobali na nga wana na longola ye manzaka nga moko
(That husband of mine, I will trim his nails myself)
Mobali na nga wana na longola ye manzaka ngai moko
(That husband of mine, I will trim his nails myself)
Oh mobali na nga wana nako kufa kaka mpo naye
(That husband of mine, I will die for him)
Mobali na nga wana nako kufa kaka po naye
(That husband of mine, I will die for him)
Likambo ya mobali oyo
(The problem with this husband)
Likambo ya mobali oyo
(The problem with this husband)
Na moni mpasi po na ekolo
(I suffered because of the tribe)
Ye moto ngai pe moto
(He is a human, I am also a human)
Nako kamwa tina bako boya
(I don’t know why they deny us from getting married)
Mobali na nga ya kitoko
(My beautiful husband)
Mobali na nga ya motema
(My husband whom I love)
To keseni na ba mbula
(We are not the same age)
To keseni na ekolo
(We are not the same tribe)
Nako vanda kaka na ye
(I will stay with him)
Bolingo ya ba mbula oyo
(Relationship these years)
Bolingo ya ba tango oyo
(Relationship this time)
Eponi ekolo te maman
(Doesn’t matter about tribes)
Eponi couleur te tata
(Doesn’t matter about colors)
Toko luka kaka to bala
(We will try to get married)
Oh pesa nga chance na bala
(Give me a chance to get married)
Bo pesa nga chance na bala
(You gave me a chance to get married)
Mobali na nga maboko pete
(My husband shares easily)
Akaba mingi ya mingi
(He shares a lot)
Nako kufa kaka na ye
(I will stay with him)
