Congo Lyrics in English by KeBlack
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Congo by KeBlack from French to English.
Hmm, bonjour mon pays
Hmm, hello my country
Tu m'as jamais vu, moi aussi
You've never seen me, me neither
Hmm, bonjour mon Congo
Hmm, hello my Congo
Tu m'as jamais vu, moi aussi
You've never seen me, me neither
J'aimerais qu'on s'arrête
I'd like us to stop
Quelques minutes
A few minutes
T'aimerais que j'm'arrête
You'd like me to stop
Quelques minutes
A few minutes
Mais c'est impossible
But it's impossible
Est-ce logique?
Is it logical?
Non c'est impossible
No, it's impossible
C'est toi qui choisis
It's you who chooses
Mon pays d'amour, ah-ah
My country of love, ah-ah
Lâche mon tambour
Let go of my drum
Bonjour, Congo, c'est mon pays
Hello, Congo, it's my country
Serrez fort, ça c'est mon pays
Hold tight, that's my country

A few more minutes
J'suis sur le point des chutes
I'm at the point of the falls
J'aperçois les chutes d'eau
I see the waterfalls
Le soleil tape mon chapeau
The sun hits my hat
Ou-ho ou-ho ou-ho
Ou-ho ou-ho ou-ho
Ou-ho ou-ho ou-ho
Ou-ho ou-ho ou-ho
C'est pour toi que je suis là
It's for you that I'm here
Je viens te dire bonjour
I come to say hello
Maintenant que je suis là
Now that I'm here
Je n'veux plus te quitter
I don't want to leave you anymore
Impossible que j'me sauve
Impossible for me to escape
Ma waou-ha
My waou-ha

That I escape
Ma waou-ha
My waou-ha

Did you like this lyrics translation?
tambour — drum
Tambour translates to "drum". While it's a common instrument, its appearance in this song is particularly evocative and symbolic.
In the context of "Congo", the drum represents the heart and soul of the Congolese culture and identity. When KeBlack sings "Lâche mon tambour" (Let go of my drum), it's a powerful plea for his country's freedom and sovereignty, making it a deeply meaningful and memorable word.
