Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ponda by Henri Dikongue from French to English.

Ponda ne bobe dijita
When evil points a finger
M'ba nabi nika
I knew it like that
Ponda ne bobe dijita
When evil points a finger
M'ba nembi nika
I said it like that
Nei mende dijiba
It will fall
Nei mende pe to bwa moto
It will also kill someone
Na mende wasa longe lam
I will search for my life
Omuyeng e muese
Every morning
Ponda ne bobe dijita
When evil points a finger
M'ba nebi nika
I knew it like that
Ponda ne bobe dijita
When evil points a finger
Nasi ma tobo nika
I couldn't be like that
Na mende wasa longe lam
I will search for my life
Na ndutu yese
With all the suffering
Na mende wasa longe lam
I will search for my life
Na nete yese ie
With every night, yeah
Losi ma kusa mba
Let me find myself
To janea mba
Or lose myself
Na ma sengan nde nje yawe mba mulema
And I only listen to what my heart tells me
Losi ma wondo mba
Let me fall
To lemse mba
Or raise myself
Na ma sengane nde dube lam
And I only listen to my faith
Wasa la longe
The search for life
Dima bola moto
Don't make a person
A wele mulopo to weni nde
Who only has a head to see
Wasa la longe
The search for life
Dima bola moto mo a boma edinge
Don't make a person who destroys hope
