Below are lyrics and translation to Moise Mbiye’s song Kaka Yesu from the 2020 Album Triomphe;

Oza na makoki ya konokisa mvula (You have the power to make it rain)
Po misala na ngai, efuluka eh (For my works to flourish)
Oza na makoki, ya kokotisa molili eh (You have the power to stop darkness)
Po na ngambu na ngai eh, moyi etelema ah (For my side the sun shines)
Lelo natangisi pinzoli, ya mawa té eh (Today I am shading tears, not of sadness)
Pinzoli ya bolingo, po na moto asalisi ngai (Tears of love to the one that helped me)

Oyokaka losambo oh, oyokaka losambo oh (You hear the prayers oh, you hear the prayers)
Oyokaka losambo soki bataleli yo ehhh (You hear prayers when they look to you)
Oyokaka losambo oh, oyokaka losambo oh(You hear the prayers oh, you hear the prayers)
Oyokaka losambo oh, soki bataleli yo ehhh… Ah yaya eh… (You hear prayers when they look to you)

Basusu bakatisi ngambu eh (Others have crossed boundaries)
Koluka ya koliya koluka soki nguya (looking for something to eat, looking for power)
Et moi je m’attache a Jésus (And I cling to Jesus)
Tango y’obengaki ngai (When you called me)
Nazalaki na bandoto nandimaki kotika ngo (I had dreams I was willing to give up on them since)
Nayokaki bilaka ah…( I heard the promises)
Ti natangisi pinzoli eh ya mawa té eh (Till I shed tears, not of sadness)
Pinzoli ya bolingo po na moto alokoti ngai(Tears of love to the one that saved me)
Oyokaka losambo oh, oyokaka losambo oh (You hear the prayers oh, you hear the prayers)
Oyokaka losambo oh Soki bataleli yo ehhh… ah yaya eh (You hear prayers when they look to you)
Oyokaka losambo eh, oyokaka losambo oh(You hear the prayers oh, you hear the prayers)
Oyokaka losambo oh, soki bataleli yo ehhhehhh… ah yaya oh-oh…(You hear prayers when they look to you)
