Titre : “Born Again (Nabotami Lisusu)”
[Intro – English]
I walked through the fire,BARONG…
I carried the pain.
But every broken piece of me
Has learned to breathe again.
[Couplet 1 – Lingala]
Nalekaki na butu molai,
Miso etondaki na mpinzoli.
Kasi Nzambe asimbaki loboko na ngai,
Atelemisaki ngai lisusu.
Makasi na ngai ezalaki lisusu te,
Motema na ngai ezalaki lokola ebukani.
Kasi na ngolu na Ye,
Nazwi bomoyi ya sika.
[Pré-Refrain – English]
Every scar became a story,
Every tear became my strength.
The road was long, the night was cold,
But hope carried me to the end.
[Refrain – English & Lingala]
I’m born again, I’m alive once more,
I found the light I was searching for.
Nabotami lisusu, motema ezali na kimia,
Nazongi na makasi, na ngolu ya Nzambe.
No fear can hold me anymore,
Today I rise forevermore.
[Couplet 2 – Lingala & English]
Makambo ya kala ekangaka ngai lisusu te,
Pamba te nzela ya sika efungwami.
Nazali kotambola na kondima,
Na pole oyo ekufaka te.
I left the chains behind me,
I chose to believe again.
What once was my deepest sorrow
Has become my greatest gain.
[Pont – Lingala]
Soki okweyi, telema lisusu.
Soki oleli, yeba ete ntongo ekoya.
Moyi ekobima sima ya butu,
Mpe bomoyi ya sika ezali kozela yo.
[Dernier Refrain – English & Lingala]
I’m born again, my soul is free,
The past no longer defines me.
Nabotami lisusu na bolingo,
Na kimia mpe na elikya ya sika.
I’ll keep walking, I’ll keep believing,
Because my new life has just begun.
[Outro – English]
The ashes became wings,
The darkness became dawn.
I am not who I used to be…
I am born again.
