"Uko Wapi" from the album "Mapenzi Yangu" (Translation)

By Ray C

Uko wapi, nikufuate
Niambie nipajue
Angalau nikuone
Roho yangu nitulie

Uko wapi, nikufuate
Niambie nipajue
Angalau nikuone
Roho yangu nitulie

Najauliza kila siku wapi pa kukutafuta
Ni miaka mingi sana hatujaonana
Napata shida sana
Nataka niwe nawe
Nakupataje pataje, nawe huonekani
Uko wapi, nieleze
Tafadhali niambie
Hata kwa barua pepe
Au simu ya mkononi
Roho yangu itulie
Roho yangu itulie

Uko wapi, nikufuate
Niambie nipajue
Angalau nikuone
Roho yangu nitulie

Uko wapi, nikufuate
Niambie nipajue
Angalau nikuone
Roho yangu nitulie

Moyo wangu unaniuma kwani kimya kimetanda
Ningekuwa na uwezo wa kujua ulipo
Ningekufuata huko
Nikujulie hali
Niachane na mawazo ya kukuwaza wewe
Nakukuota wewe
Iko siku moja, moja, moja
Tutajaonana nawe
Mimi, mimi nawe

Uko wapi, nikufuate
Niambie nipajue
Angalau nikuone
Roho yangu nitulie

Uko wapi, nikufuate
Niambie nipajue
Angalau nikuone
Roho yangu nitulie

Nionyeshe
Nikufuate
Angalau nikuone
Nikuone, nikuone
Nikuone, nikuone

Uko wapi, nikufuate
Niambie nipajue
Angalau nikuone
Roho yangu nitulie

"Uko Wapi?" from the album "Mapenzi Yangu" (Original Lyrics)

By Ray C

Where are you, so I can follow you
Tell me where, so I can know
Just to see you
And calm my restless heart

I ask myself every day: Where can I find you?
It’s been many years since we last saw each other
It’s so hard
I want to be with you
But how can I find you when you can’t be found
Where are you, tell me
Please tell me
Whether via email
Or cell phone
And calm my restless heart

My heart aches because of the constant silence
If I was able to know where you were
I would follow you there
To find out how you are
So I can stop worrying and thinking about you
Or dreaming about you
That one day
We will meet again
Me and you

Show me where
So I can follow you
Just to see you
To see you

Lyrics: Reviens - Naima

"Reviens" from the album "Reviens" (Translation)
By Naïma

Au milieu des nuits blanches, j'entends dans le silence
Des mots d'amour qui me parlent de ton retour
Au fond de moi, j'me demande pourquoi
Je devrais vivre sans toi

Maintenant je suis perdue tout me semble confus
Ma joie de vivre soudainement c'est assoupie
Je n'ai plus rien, que mon chagrin
Je parle des jours sans fin

Reviens à moi, reviens à moi
Et on vivra comme avant
Rappelle toi ,rappelle toi
Que l'on s'aimait tendrement

Puis on partira dans ces pays là-bas
Pour oublier les erreurs passées
Réaliser nos rêves insensés
Ensemble pour l'éternité

Mé rédjéyi rienchi ndro (Mais reviens ! Pour que l'on puisse mieux vivre)
Pvatsinawé Ko maécha (Sans toi il n'y a pas de vie)
Ngami hali Taambani (Je suis dans un état de souffrance)
Yavo néwé chéléyawo (Quand je pense à toi)

Trop de souvenirs se bousculent encore
Ces mots d'amour qui résonnent encore plus fort
Toutes nos promesses nos exploits
Furent pour toi inusables

Mé rédjéyi rienchi ndro
Pvatsinawé Ko maécha
Ngami hali Taambani
Yavo néwé chéléyawo

Puis on partira dans ces pays là-bas
Pour oublier les erreurs passées
Réaliser nos rêves insencés
Ensemble pour l'éternité

Mé rédjéyi rienchi ndro
Pvatsinawé Ko maécha
Ngami hali Taambani
Yavo néwé chéléyawo

Translation: Reviens - Naima

"Reviens" from the album "Reviens" (Original Lyrics)

By Naima

In the middle of sleepless nights, I hear in the silence
Words of love that tell me about your return
In my heart I wonder why I should live without you

Now I am lost, everything seems confused
My joy in life is suddenly hushed
I have nothing, but my sorrow, I speak of endless days

Return to me, come back to me
And we shall live as before
Remember how we loved each other tenderly

Then we will leave these lands
Forget the mistakes of the past
Realize our dreams are foolish
Be together for eternity

But come back
So that we can live better
Without you there is no life
I'm in a state of suffering
When I think about you

Too many memories are stirring again
These words of love resonate even stronger
All our achievements our promises, you were indestructible

Then we will leave these lands
To forget the mistakes of the past
Realize our dreams are foolish
Be together for eternity

But come back
So that we can live better
Without you there is no life
I'm in a state of suffering
When I think about you

Then we will leave these lands
To forget the mistakes of the past
Realize our dreams are foolish
Be together for eternity

By Magic System

C'est dans ma galère que la go
Antou m'a quitté oh ah
Quand j'avais un peu
Matin midi soir
On été ensemble
A la rue Princesse
Aux mille maquis
Santos payait les poulets
L'argent est fini
Antou a changé de côté
Wari ban nan
Elle a changé de copain

Nan guin nan wan, nan guin nan wan
Nan guin nan wan, nan guin nan wan

Dieu merci pour moi je savais chanter un peu
J'ai fait ma cassette oh on me voit à la télé
Matin midi soir c'est moi je chante à la radio
Antou a vu çà elle dit le gaou a percé
Attends je vais partir le couper

Et on dit premier gaou n'est pas gaou oh
C'est deuxième gaou qui est niata oh ah
Et on dit premier gaou n'est pas gaou oh
C'est deuxième gaou qui est niata oh ah

Dimanche matin koko on frappe à ma porte
A ma grande surprise c'est la go Antou je vois
On s embrasse j'ai dit y'a longtemps qu'on c'est plus revu
Elle veut me mentir Elle dit chéri j'avais voyagé
Je suis de retour
Je t'appartiens
Prends-moi cadeau, fais ce que tu veux

Et on dit premier gaou n'est pas gaou oh
C'est deuxième gaou qui est niata oh ah

J'ai dit chéri koko qu'est ce que tu veux manger
Sans même hésiter Elle me dit poulet braisé

Et on dit premier gaou n'est pas gaou oh
C'est deuxième gaou qui est niata oh ah

J'ai dit chéri koko c'est poulet tu veux manger
Poulet est trop petit çà peut pas te rassasier
C'est caïman braisé, je vais te donner
Kedjenou d'éléphant, tu vas manger

Nan guin nan wan, nan guin nan wan

Elle est fâchée, elle dit elle s'en va à la maison
Si elle va à la maison population va me tuer
Je lui ai demandé pardon, elle a accepté
A un moment donné, elle a tout gacté
Elle est quitté dans poulet, elle s'en va dans aloco
Si c'est aloco c'est pas compliqué
C'est plantation de bananes
Tu vas griller
Au lieu de fourchette
Ca peut pas bien piquer
C'est avec râteau, tu vas manger

Nan guin nan wan, nan guin nan wan
Nan guin nan wan, nan guin nan wan

Et on dit premier gaou n'est pas gaou oh

"1er Gaou" from the album "1er Gaou" (Original Lyrics)
By Magic System

It's when I was down that the girl Antou left me
When I had little
Morning, noon, evening
We were together
At the "Rue Princesse"
At the "Mille Marquis"
Together at the “Santos”
But once the money was gone
Antou changed sides
No more money
And she changed boyfriends
You are crazy, you are crazy

Thank god for I knew how to sing a little
I did my demo tape, people saw me on TV
Morning, noon, evening, it was me singing on radio
Antou saw that and said the fool made it
Wait, let me go and take his money

It is said that the first fool is not a fool
It’s the second fool who is the real fool
(Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me)

Sunday morning,
Knock - knock, someone's knocking at my door
To my great surprise it's the girl Antou I see
Jokingly I say it’s been a while since we've seen each other
She tries to lie to me saying:
“Darling I had travelled, but I am back now,
I belong to you, take me as a gift and do what you want with me”

I say sweet darling what do you want to eat
Without hesitation she says barbecued chicken
I say sweet darling, its chicken you want to eat
But a chicken is too small and won’t satisfy you
I will give you barbecued Cayman instead
Elephant "Kedjenou" of elephant is what you are going to eat

She is upset and says she is going home
But if she goes home, horniness is going to kill me
So I ask for her forgiveness and she accepts
Then at one point, she messes it all up
She stops asking for chicken and now wants fried plantain
If its fried plantain, that’s not complicated
Its a banana plantation that you are going to fry
Instead of a fork that can’t fill you up
Its with a rake that you are going to eat

Kader is a fool, Blé is a fool
Soro Guillaume is a fool, Sabine is a fool
Angelo is a fool, Hotorino is a fool
Blé is a fool, Dieu is a fool
Kader is a fool, Kader is my fool
Blé is a fool, Michel is a fool
Emile is a fool, Honoré is a fool

I tell you to dance
Look out for yourself
And dance

جرح تاني وهوا قلبي لسّه طاب من الاولاني
اروحلو تاني وهوا قلبي اتذكر جرحو الاولاني
غلطت مره وقلت على الرخيص غالي
جرحت قلبي وجرح القلوب غالي
من النهار ده مافيش احزان مافيش الوان
من النهار ده حب مافيش ده كمان
آه الله يعوض عالايام وعالليالي
من النهارده مافيش اصحاب ماليش احباب

Another wound

And my heart just recovered from the first

I go to him again

And my heart remembers the first wound

I made the mistake once of calling something cheap costly

You hurt my heart and the wounds of hearts are costly

From today there is no sadness, no color

From today there is no love either

Oh God compensates for the days and nights

From today there are no friends or lovers

From today the heart is lonely... oh time

Oh God compensates for the days and nights

Oh night

You hurt my heart and the wounds of hearts are costly

"Contagious" from the album "Makosa"
By Murfy's fLaW

My heart unfolds, in a million places
I feel unsure, and duly chastened
Why do I keep walking down this road am in
Please don't take your healing hand from me

Coz I feel contagious, and forsaken, am I tainted?
I need an angel, that would save me, from my hatred
Beneath the surface, I'm imperfect, but you love that/me
You'd/ll be my saviour; coz I feel contagious

My dreams are weird, and I've been waiting
For your touch, to bring me to safety
Reaching out my hand to have it slapped away
Please don't take your healing hand from me

Coz I feel contagious, and forsaken, am I tainted?
I need an angel, that would save me, from my hatred
Beneath the surface, I'm imperfect, but you love that/me
You'd/ll be my saviour; coz I feel contagious

"Aïcha" from the album "Sahra" (Translation)
By Khaled

Comme si j'n'existais pas
Elle est passee a cote de moi
Sans un regard, Reine de Sabbat
J'ai dit, Aicha, prends, tout est pour toi

Voici, les perles, les bijoux
Aussi, l'or autour de ton cou
Les fruits, bien murs au gout de miel
Ma vie, Aicha si tu m'aimes

J'irai a ton souffle nous mene
Dans les pays d'ivoire et d'ebene
J'effacerai tes larmes, tes peines
Rien n'est trop beau pour une si belle

Oooh ! Aicha, Aicha, ecoute-moi
Aicha, Aicha, t'en vas pas
Aicha, Aicha, regarde-moi
Aicha, Aicha, reponds-moi

Je dirai les mots des poemes
Je jouerai les musiques du ciel
Je prendrai les rayons du soleil
Pour eclairer tes yeux de reine

Oooh ! Aicha, Aicha, ecoute-moi
Aicha, Aicha, t'en vas pas

Elle a dit, garde tes tresors
Moi, je vaux mieux que tout ca
Des barreaux forts, des barreaux meme en or
Je veux les memes droits que toi
Et du respect pour chaque jour
Moi je ne veux que de l'amour

Aaaah !
Comme si j'n'existais pas
Elle est passee a cote de moi
Sans un regard, Reine de Sabbat
J'ai dit, Aicha, prends, tout est pour toi

Nbrik Aicha ou nmout allik [Je te veux Aicha et je meurs pour toi]
'Hhadi kisat hayaty oua habbi [Ceci est l'histoire de ma vie et de mon
amour]
Inti omri oua inti hayati [Tu es ma respiration et ma vie]
Tmanit niich maake ghir inti [J'ai envie de vivre avec toi et rien
qu'avec toi]

Aicha, Aicha

Translation: Aïcha - Khaled

"Aïcha" from the album "Sahra" (Original Lyrics)
By Khaled

As if I don't exist
She was passing by me
With no regard, the Queen of Sheeba
I said, Aisha, take this, all of it is for you

Here, the pearls, the jewels,
also the gold around your neck
The fruits, well ripe with the taste of honey
And my life, Aisha if you love me!

I will go where your breath leads me,
In the countries of ivory and ebony
I will erase your tears, your sorrows
Nothing is too beautifull for a girl so beautiful

Aisha, Aisha listen to me
Aisha, Aisha don't go
Aisha, Aisha look at me
Aisha, Aisha answer me

I would say the words, the poems
I would play the music of the sky
I would take the rays of the sun
to light up your dreamy eyes

Ooh! Aisha, Aisha listen to me
Aisha, Aisha don't go

She said: "Keep your treasures,
Me, I'm worth more than that.
Bars are still bars even if made of gold.
I want the same rights as you
and respect for each day,
Me I want only love."

(In Arabic)
I want you Aisha and I love you to death
You are master of my life and my love
You are my years and my life
I hope to live with you, only you
