Time was I would criticize my neighbor
If his religion was not the same as mine
But now my heart welcomes every form
It is a prairie for the gazelles and
A cloiser for monks
A temple for idols and
A kaaba for the pilgrim
The tables of the Torah and the book of the Qur’an
I follow the religion of Love whatever
Direction taken by Love’s camel
That’is my religion and my faith
Come on
Na mokili Nzabe a sala biloko na bisso mabalé na mibalé oh
Muasi na mobali moyi na nzanza eh eh
Na mokili Nzabe a pesa moto nyoso chance ya ko zua oh
Lelo ya yo lobi ya guaye
Nzabe reureu a senga sé bolingo
Eh Eh aha aha
I was able to see thath the book of my life was not
Composed merely of ink and letters
My hearth becomes white as snown
When I taste the savors of “I love you”
In your garden there are many flowers but only one water
Let me clad myself in your love like a tunic
Let count off the rosary of my heart in your memory
Let me should to the world the perfume of my desire
The cement of providence binds us like brickes of the secret
Na mokili Nzabe a pesa moto nyoso chance ya ko zua oh
Lelo ya yo lobi ya guaye
Nzabe reureu a senga sé bolingo
Eh Eh aha aha
I was copper you made me gold, Alchemist of my heart
You who knew how to erase my mistakes
The only believer is the one who loves the other as himself
Existence is a gift but so fex people find this amazing
Because the outfits it wears are never the same
Because appareances only deceive those who stop at them
I have drunk the wine of Love
And people were changed into brothers
Na mokili Nzabe a pesa moto nyoso chance ya ko zua oh
Lelo ya yo lobi ya guaye
Nzabe reureu a senga sé bolingo
Eh Eh aha aha
