Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Eva by Richard Bona from French to English.
1. Pon-da e ma tom-ba nde pon-da nyen-de mbal-le
1. Pon-da and I fall, pon-da and I dance
Lam-bo e was-se no lo ma to-po to-bou-nya
The lamb is white, it's not my fault
Nde pon-da e ma tom-ba nde pon-da nyen-de mbal-le
And I fall, pon-da and I fall, pon-da and I dance
Lam-bo le was-se no loï ma kwal-la tom-bou-nya
The lamb is white, it's not my fault
E-bo-la mbin-do n'e-ba-ba-da ndi-ma
The world is big and we are small
E bo-di bi-nyo
The body is tired
Lo pan-gui bis-so man-da mas-su to ma-la-di
The belly is full, but the heart is empty
Ta-ta-nu ya pon nde-na
The road is long
Ta ta nu pe ya pon nde-na-na
The road is long
A-lou-koy ya sen-ga e-ha mu-na-te
The sun is hot, the wind is cold
Nden-gue e na-la nde ba-bi-nyo se bi-ba-lam
The night is dark, the day is bright
ba-lam
Dipita, the night is here
Es-se-le so mba di pan-dis-se di-na la lo-ba
The moon is shining, the stars are singing
Di bo-le pe mo mas-so-ma nyo-la ma-bo-la ma-o
I am lost in the middle of nowhere
Di-pi-ta la-su le nde
I am lost in the middle of nowhere
Ngam-bi e si ma ses-se to-mo-to mbus-sa
I am lost in the middle of nowhere
Na sen-gui pon na mu-bi-ye paï
I am lost in the middle of nowhere
A ma ti-ka ndi-yo
