I am still standing under the tree where you left me

 Dedications...

 1) You have money Luemba eh
 You have a lot of clothes, ten suitcases
 I ran out of ideas on how to please you
 I woke up in the middle of the night and went to the forest
 I collected a 100 kilos of flowers with my own hands
 And three insects

 2) Because I know you love animals, Luemba eh
 Take this parrot, I taught it how to say sweet words
 It will be telling you when I am absence, Adam Bombole
 If slavery was not banned by the UN
 I would have become Jeampy Bola's slave

 3) Because even your look is a carress
 You sent me a message saying that you will be coming over
 People normally lay down a red carpet for high ups
 I laid down my pant and blouse, Luemba
 From the main road to my front door
 So that you can walk on them, Edo eh, Musamba

 4) You are really in the range of the most handsome
 Even if you hide your face, one of your leg
 Is worth the value of Virunga National park
 Change my life in one second, spread your hands
 Gigi Makumbiiii

 5) Dedications...
 The day that Luemba went away
 Oh Willy Tembela eh
 The day that Luemba went away
 What can I do, Guy Luemba you've rejected me
 (Jacky Watunda and Jose Kongolo)
 What can I do Guy Luemba, you've rejected me

 6) Dedications...
 Fifi’s caprice is the current that pulls Guy
 Let my fancy dress be your skin
 When you will come, it will be the greatest destiny
 Thierry Gola eh

 7) Your caprice is the current that pulls me
 Let my fancy dress be your skin
 When you will come, it will be the greatest destiny
 Orly Gola eh
 You are really in the rage of the most handsome
 Even if you hide your face, one of your leg
 Is worth the value of Virunga National park

 8) Another day you returned home at midnight
 I caught you with a woman’s photo
 I asked you, papa eh, you told me that it was your cousin
 Yet I know that you don’t have any female relatives
 This is just to annoy my feelings (feelings, feelings)

 9) Another day I went to the market
 Then I wanted see you, decided to pass by your office
 I found you close to the secretary (feelings, feelings)
 Another day your phone rang while we were sleeping
 I heard a woman's voice eh
 When I asked you, papa eh, you lied to me again
 Saying it is the director (feelings, feelings)

 10) I will ask GOD why is it this way
 I will ask GOD why is it this way
 I will ask GOD why is it this way
 The day that Luemba went away

 11) Dedications...
 What can I do Guy Luemba, has rejected me
 What can I do Guy Luemba, has rejected me
 What can I do Guy Luemba, has rejected me
 Dedications...

 12) [Others]
 Love has carried me away, Berlin Nzala eh
 It started to annoy me...dedications...

 13) My life is flowing in your blood
 The day that Luemba went away
 What can I do Guy Luemba, has rejected me
 (When some rejoice for others it is misfortune)

Fantastic! non lingala speakers we miss a lot i wonder why there is no website with Lingala songs it could be one way of making this language spread i had to buy lingala dictionary and a book in Nairobi written by Arizona M. Baongoli to understand some abc. Some one need to work on this and the musicians as well to produce lyrics for their fans and other ppl to understand the meaning , Oliver Mtukudzi from Zimbabwe has done that .I know it is a challenge as lingala songs has so many words but it worth it for Africa it is the only music listened by many people across Africa so far.

Don't be fooled by the translation, it's not as easy as it seems to write and compose songs that's why almost all musicians buy music from composers, Ferre was showered with praises for this song, it's a good composition.

Just imagine if he redid any of Remy Ongala or Musa Juma's work in Lingala or even Swahili like Mangwana and Ley did with Shuari Yako...

Sorry this is not my site, i think you have to ask the site owner.

Further, if you have the English translations, you may translate in to your language using Google Language tools.
