In this Ode Suzanna and Mbilia Bel remind all and sundry of their mortality
Aiii Yelele yelele yelele! Aiii Yelele yelele yelele!
Dhano duto mana lo! All men are soil(mortals)!
Ngata angata mana lo! Everyone is mortal!
Wagede Wagede ewi lo! We are created on soil! we build on soil!
Wamiele wamiele ewi lo! We dance, We dance on soil!
Wawuothe wawuothe ewi lo! We walk , we walk on soil!
Iyele iyele iyeleoo! Iyele iyele iyeleoo!
MBILIA BEL IN LINGALA REPEATS THE NARRATIVE!
Ngata angata mana lo! Everyone is soil!
Nyathi minyuolo mana lo! A new born child is soil!
Miyo bende mana lo! A mother is soil!
Kata wuoro bende mana lo! Even a father is soil!
Tuwe kitu kimoja sisi binadamu! Let us be united we men
Mbele ya Mola tusawa! Before God we are equal!
Lowo dok kuom lowo! Soil back to soil!
Lowo kuom lowo! Soil back to soil!
