Title: WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK OF FALLY’S “NDOKI”?
Post by: Matebu on April 03, 2018, 00:15

A friend of mine called it an “empty” rhumba. Saying he doesn’t really sing with any emotion and this is criticism he has of all recent rhumbas. I think it’s ok, definitely not his best work

Translation:

Ndonki eza kaka synonyme ya maseke na moto te = "Devil" is not only a synonym of having horns on ones head

Po na zamba ba niama mpe baza na yango na moto = Because some animals in the forest do have horns

Kasi ezali synonyme ya oyo azo lukela moninga liwa = But it is the synonym of someone who wants another to die

Ndoki ya vie na ngai eza yo, cherie = You are the devil of my life, sweetheart

Its a good track, but not great, actually sounded like he was yawning at the beginning

At first I didn't like it but now I've to get used to as it's one of the better rhumbas from Power (i don't like most of the rhumbas from that album).

 This actually reminds me of something my mom told me and brother yesterday about a Fally song where Fally was talking about girls and spirits and how you can get possessed or something like that by singing a long to lyrics( I forgot the content of the convo) and I was thinking to myself what song and then seeing the lyrics written reminded me of what she was talking about.
