Ndolo mo a ligane tombae
Love, it loves me a lot
So mo a bele nba
If it has me
Nabi loko malinga mongo
I know how to love it
Nabi pe loko bedeno bunge
I also know how to suffer for it
Ndolo mo a lingane te mbae
Love, it doesn't love me
So moa bele mba
If it has me
Nabi loka malinga mongo
I know how to love it
Nabi pe lockoe bedemo bongo
I also know how to suffer for it
Na taka mulema o we mba
I give my heart to you
O diya mba na
You leave me
Ndengue mo eni bwa mba
How painful it is for me
To leta longo nasi mene pon
Even if we don't have marriage at all
Ta leta longo bana nasi mene pon
Even if we don't have marriage, we don't have children at all
Son ya na mbae ndene mo emi bwa mba
Just that it hurts me so much
Son tiba ma mba ke ndutu nya mbwa mba
Just leave me, I'm going through great suffering
To leta longo nasi mene pon
Even if we don't have marriage at all
Ta leta longo bena nasi mene pon
Even if we don't have marriage, we don't have children at all
Son engele mbae ke na mende pon wo
Just look at me, I'm going to die for you
Son bwea mba ndedi ke ndutu nya bwa mbe
Just kill me now, my suffering is so bad
Nama wolo jea mbembe
I want to live well
Nama wolo koma misodi
I want to stop crying

Ndolo — Love

Ndolo is a beautiful word from the Duala language, which is spoken in Cameroon, the home country of Henri Dikongue. While it translates to "love," it carries a deeper cultural resonance than a simple translation might suggest.

In the context of the song, "Ndolo" is central to the lyrics, expressing profound affection and longing. It's an enticing word because it introduces learners to a less common, yet deeply meaningful, French-adjacent vocabulary, offering a glimpse into the linguistic diversity of Francophone music.
