« It is sad but it’s exiting
When I read the newspaper.
About what’s happening
In the western province of Africa.
Everybody’s fighting,
to get the fortune and fame.
But it is amusing,
When I read all the bosses names.
Such as Kasavubu,
and Etienne Tshisekedi
Fighting to gain power over Katanga.
Colonel Mombutu
and Justin Momboko
rivaling Tshombé
to be boss over the Congo. | My father made me to know
that my great-great-gandfather
Came from the Congo
in the Western Province of Katanga.
But I can’t remember his name,
because it was too long.
and if I called the name
I might have to bite me tounge.
All like Kasavubu
and Patrice Lumumba
Fighting to gain power over Katanga
Colonel Mombutu
and Justin Momboko
rivaling Tshombé to be boss over the Congo
Oh Congo bawa wa mojique berle
arre baba arev ah roqo di mole,
Mojique berle Congo,
eh uwah Kosu. » |
