Motema Lyrics in English by Bramsito
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Motema by Bramsito from French to English.
Dans ma tête, c'est la guerre, sans toi
In my head, it's war, without you
C'est la merde, j'ai plus de motema
It's sh*t, I don't have a heart anymore
Délaissé mama, oublié par toi, j'ai plus rien maintenant
Abandoned, mama, forgotten by you, I have nothing left now
Demande-moi la lune, j'irais la décrocher demain, tu es ma vie
Ask me for the moon, I'd go get it tomorrow, you are my life
Te quitter? Impossible, mon amour pour la vie, s'il-te-plaît, aime-moi
Leave you? Impossible, my love for life, please, love me
Ah, chérie na nga, yeah (ah, chérie na nga, yeah)
Ah, my darling, yeah (ah, my darling, yeah)
Ah, chérie na nga, yeah (ah, chérie na nga, yeah)
Ah, my darling, yeah (ah, my darling, yeah)
Avec toi, voyager, je me voyais faire ma vie
With you, traveling, I saw myself making my life
Ma chérie, t'as touché mon cœur, y a pénalty
My darling, you touched my heart, it's a penalty
Ah la vie, tu vois les retombés?
Ah life, do you see the repercussions?
Le petit Mayombo, le mimi des mimis
Little Mayombo, the cutest of the cute
La concu' dégoûtée, le son est broliqué
The competition is disgusted, the sound is loaded
J'envoie des coups de guitare

J'viens pas polémiquer, les cheveux colorés
I don't come to argue, colored hair
J'ai le flow d'une kichta (le flow d'une kichta)
I have the flow of a wad of cash (the flow of a wad of cash)
Maintenant, j'ai l'argent sur le côté
Now, I have money on the side
Le Merco est posé sur le côté
The Mercedes is parked on the side
Trop de gows, j'arrive plus à les compter
Too many girls, I can't count them anymore
Viens danser, petits pas sur le côté
Come dance, small steps to the side
Ah, bé 'da, ouh
Ah, bé 'da, ouh
Haha, Ika De Jong source d'inspiration, ouh
Haha, Ika De Jong source of inspiration, ouh

Did you like this lyrics translation?
motema — heart
Motema is a word from Lingala, a Bantu language spoken in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Congo, which translates to "heart" in English.
It's an interesting choice because it's not a standard French word, making it unique and memorable. In the song, Bramsito uses it to express deep emotional pain, singing "j'ai plus de motema" (I no longer have a heart), conveying a profound sense of loss and heartbreak.
