Kimpa Kisangameni Lyrics

 

Kimpa Kisangameni means "Something has emerged or an issue has come up". Franco sings that someone has bewitched his family, he warns his mother "Keba" beware,mama, open your eyes, if not, you will be left alone with no sons to bury you.The sorcerer is entering into the family to eliminate everyone.
"Kimpa kisangameni kuna zulu eh," infers that a strange event has happened in the sky/ heaven above. kimpa = mystery , zulu = sky, heavens. Franco sang in kikongo language to mourn his younger sibling Bavon Marie Marie who perished in a road accident.

Lyrics:
(Uluoanga mau mame eeh!
Kimpa kisangameni mama kuna zulu eeh,
kindoki kisangameni mama kuna zulu eeh!) *2

                                  (these issues that you usually talk about
                                   has prominently to reveal its self up there  mother
                                  the witchcraft has prominently revealed its self up there mother)

Ulugogangama, uluetambuleli ehh.
Ulusikangamia uluetambuleli ehh.
Uluturi kunga na kumbu ndongale.
Uluturi kuga na kumbu ya ndongi,

Kimpa kisangameni mama kuna zulu eeh,
kindoki kisangameni mama kuna zulu eeh!

(Uluoanga mau mame eeh!
Kimpa kisangameni mama kuna zulu eeh,
kindoki kisangameni mama kuna zulu eeh!) *2

                                  (these issues that you usually talk about
                                   has prominently to reveal its self up there  mother
                                  the witchcraft has prominently revealed its self up there mother)

 Ululoka mumpipa mama eeh eeh.
Hèrve ulunaka mumpipa mama eeh eeh.
Cameon ulunaka mumpipa mama eeh eeh.
Suni mibantu luta minei ee eeh.
Ulukuenda nzandu di mpipa mama ee eeh.
Ululoka mu mpipa mama ee eeh.

Lunga na ngwala ye vanda ye lutela mambu eeh.
Lunga na ngwala ye leka ye lutela ngenge.
Ululoka mumpipa uluetambuleli.
Ululoka mu mpipa uluetambuleli.
Kimpa kisangameni mama kunazulu,
Kindoki kisangameni mama ku na zulu.

Mbisi zi mpipa luta teke eeh,
Malafu ma mpipa luta teke ehh,
Mimpuka mi mpipa luta teke eeh,
Suni mi bantu luta mine eeh,
Makasu ma mpipa luta cabe eeh,
Ye ma mpudisi ma mpipa mame eeh,

Ulugoganga mu bimpa uluetambulili ee eh.
Munu baleki bamutandile ee eh.
Munu Marie Marie tandile ee eh.
Munu na lumputu tandile ee eh.
Uluturi kunga na kumbu ndongale.
Uluturi kuga na kumbu ya ndongi.

Hanga na ndamba.
Hanga na ndamba ndongala Hanga mambonga.
Hamalanda, Hanga mbasimba, Hanga Bayala,
hanga nanzuki. Ha yo olukotisa Mukanda.
Yo olukotisa Mukanda kokatuka.
Kakuzitila bana baena kaluzayayi.
Lukeba baena,
zibula maesu.
Lutaelaka Maembuli

Uluoanga mau mame eeh!
Ulusikangamia mau mame eeh!
Lunga na ngwala ye vanda ye lutela mambu eeh!
Ululoka mumpipa mame eeh!
Uluoanga mau mame eeh!
Kimpa kisangameni mama kunazulu eeh!







(Uluoanga mau mame eeh!
Kimpa kisangameni mama kuna zulu eeh,
kindoki kisangameni mama kuna zulu eeh!) *2
