Alukenn n'golafua
N'ga mu binga kia
Muene ondo kala beniaba
Eme n'gondodiame
Mona mona muene
Kissueia weza
Mona mona muene
Kalunga n'gumba
N'zambi awani banack mona
N'ga muvalele
Muene ondo kala beniaba
Eme n'gondodiame

[The Child I'm Leaving Behind]
Attention! I'm in mortal danger
And I've already warned you
She will stay here and I will go away
This child of mine
Evil people are after her
This child of mine
On a tide of misfortune
God gave me this offspring
That I brought into the world
And she will stay here
When I am gone
N'ga mu binga kia
Muene ondo kala beniaba

Mona mona muene
Kissueia weza
Mona mona muene
Kalunga n'gumba
N'zambi awani banack mona
N'ga muvalele
Muene ondo kala beniaba
