Maloba na yo elekaki sukali
Kasi na tongo ekomaki pe ngayi
Na kokoka te kokanga mvula
Tika ekweya, tika ekweya
Tika nga na tiya tolo po motema na nga
Motema na nga
Motema na nga omemi ah eh ah eh
Motema na nga osundoli
Fololo yango
Fololo yango ya bolingo
Bomengo eza se moko
Kasi ba pasi eyaka na ba nzoto ebele
Zabolo, Zabolo, Zabolo
Azalaka na motema te
Na kokoka te kokanga mvula
Tika ekweya, tika ekweya
I'll always remember the taste of your lips
The way the beads move from the dip on your hips
Flower in your locks and honeybee scent
I'm a fiend for the crack with the rocks you get hit
I'd do it again if my time permitted
For now, dream of me sweat get it wetted
I can't help it, baby, I make love for fun
My life is like a car crash, I hit it and run
My romance is a trance forever embedded
So I'll see you on a guest list soon, I bet it
’Til then let's cyberspace and blow kisses
Get Cupid to shoot you my thoughts while l listen
To you play it, like I play my mbira
I love ’em all when I see them
In coconuts, that’s how I treat ’em
One night’s all it takes to keep them
You’re forever my love when I see ya
Forever my love when I see ya
Motema na nga omemi ah eh ah eh
Motema na nga osundoli
Fololo yango
Fololo yango ya bolingo

Na tamboli na butu
Kasi na moni te
Na lamuki na tongo
Makambo ebongwami
Liloba ya Nzambe
Ngai na yoki te
Kasi bopengwami
Ngai na lingi te
Ba koloba ba kosala
Moto makasi pe eleki nga
Ata bo boyi, ngai na kotika te
Limbisa nga moninga, soki na lingi te
Kolanda nzela wana bo ponaki
Ba koloba ba kosala
Bango ba bengi yawe
Na bo kotita mokili yawe
Je vous en supplie
Botika ngai eh eh
Mokobo moyindo
Kasi bongo moyindo te
Ya nga motema eyebi nzela
Nayebi na nga makambo ya mokili te
Manso na kosala bo tia nga tembe te
Nayebi ata na pasi na kozala n’elikya
Lokumu ya mokili eza na suka te
Limbisa nga moninga, soki na lingi te
Kolanda nzela wana bo ponaki
Ba koloba ba kosala
Bango ba bengi yawe
Na bo kotita mokili yawe
Je vous en supplie
Botika ngai eh eh

Motema na nga eponi se yo

Ba ndoto na nga eza se ya yo
Basala ba zuwa, bayina ko yina
Balingi na tika, na kotika te
Basala ba zuwa, bayina ko yina
Balingi na boya, na koboya te
Botika nga na vanda
Botika nga na linga
Nazwi ya nga motema
Nazwi ya nga moninga
I can tell you to go (x2)
But I want you to stay

Someday I’ll swing by you
I’m not looking at your postcards, try to go the whole way with this
Try to go the long way
For love, love, la la

At the end of space
The beginning of time
Esika embandaka
Esika pe ekosuka
Bo koluka nzela ya bomengo
Kasi mosala bo kosalaka te
Basi baluka nzela ya libala
Kasi bolingo ba koyebaka te
Ba koloba makambo eleki eh
Boya makombo eyi minene
Run, run, run
Kima, Kima, Kima
Moninga soki olingi, kolemba te
Ya rien de pire que l'abandon
Soki pe ba pasi, kolela te
Ya rien de pire than giving up
Ata baboyi, ko lemba te
Ya rien de pire than giving up
Soki pe banguna baye, kokima te
Ya rien de pire than giving up
Mbala liboso mbala mibale mbala misato
Komita te
Run, run, run
Kima Kima Kima
I wake up with the plan, gripping bands, mind expand
Fly to foreign lands, getting cake with all my mans
What's the recipe, Chef a key, Mack a fee, Jackin’, trappin’ D
These facts are stated by the G, who made it gambling to believe my style is ice
Passion played precise, manage risk with rolling dice
Ideas pronounced, instincts flaunted
Cream separates clowns from who really on it
Slinging sonnets place you in the style gauntlet
Them setbacks reveal how bad you really want it
I'm there when the sparks fly
Riding golden dragons
Thinking lavish, steaming cabbage, dreaming savage
Never average, to the victor go the spoils
To the hustle loyal, if you want to kick it royal
Run, run, run
Kima Kima Kima
Run, run, run
Run
Lift yourself up
Give in to fate
See it through at any rate
Stay focused
Don’t procrastinate
Release, relax, elevate
Elevate
Don’t complicated
Embrace your fate
Refuse to turn away (x2)
Run
You got to go through to get to it
You can’t just show it
You must prove it
Run, run, run
Kima kima kima

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last!
