TRANSLATION OF KIMPA KISANGAMENI BY LUAMBO MAKIADI FRANCO "MYSTERY HOVERS, WITCHCRAFT HANGS UP THERE."
Witchcraft is the theme that Luambo Makiadi tackled in this song with an evocative title. The key word that the artist used is "KIMPA". The Word has multiple meanings as you can see here. " KIMPA " in Kikongo means a turn game , legend , enigma , mystery , riddle , difficult character of a person , strategy.
Indeed, the witches transforms their lives into an incomprehensible enigma for the uninformed, carving out a reputation as legends with their demonic game whose strategy is to create desolation in families. Their " nightlife is " full of secrets, which is a real mystery for ordinary mortals to understand.
The incomparable Luambo laid bare the dark activities of these satanists. From when the day falls and when the sun sets, when the last rays of the sun are swallowed up by darkness and the night darkens time, the Mesmer's begin their diabolical activities while indulging in this "occult cannibalism" commonly called witchcraft. Because sorcerers eat their victims in mysterious ways after killing them. Real cannibals, they say.
As in the song "Very angry", Grand Master was in all this state. For over ten minutes, he fired bullets at the wizards, not without revealing their modus operandi. He even detected the intruder who is the root cause of all these misfortunes. To make himself understood, he speaks in patois to these "invisible assassins" who during the day live in unsuspected innocence. “Accept what you are doing,” he basically tells them.
Frightened by the threat hanging over his family, Luambo warns those responsible for his family of the danger that awaits them. To save his siblings from the acerbic claws of ruthless wizards, he resolves to launch an SOS: "Luzibula mesu" (open your eyes - Eye opener).
NOTE
MA NGUDI literally means mother , is the generic name given by the Kongo tribe to the mother of twins (mama mapasa, mother of doubles). The father of the twins is called ″Ta Ngudi″ (tata mapasa, father of doubles). As in Lingala, ″ma ″ is also the diminutive of ″ mom″ in Kikongo. Except that in this language, the particle ″ma″ can also be used in front of a man's name. In this case, he means ″ maternal uncle″, because mum's brother is actually the ″male mum″. It is the same for dad's sister commonly called ″paternal aunt″ (tata muasi in Lingala, tata nkento in kikongo). She is actually the ″female daddy″..
NA : Is only placed in front of a man's name. This polite code is particularly used among the Balemfu and the Bantandu unlike the other Bakongo who instead use the prefix ″ne″ .

The day I first heard this song playing at some shop during the mid 1980s, I had just received some bad news that my uncle had died. Maybe coz I was in a mourning spirit, to me the bass guitar in this song and the tune of the voices made me feel this was a mourning song, a dirge. Later when the lyrics were translated into English, I realized that I was right. Franco was mourning his brother who had died. . . . All the same I really love this song: the instruments, the tune of the voices and all is just nice. I listen to it very regularly.

Thank you so much for the translation. It gives a greater understanding of the meaning of the song. What a great spiritual song. ❤

[@KasandaKapembwa]

This base line and the one Bob's Heathen song come from the ancestors. When African ancestors are not happy, they roar and you feel it in the beat of the drum...

Was he singing about witchcraft in that village?did those people he mentions perform witchcraft?

[@majorbolingoakacheckpoint6516]

Thanks bro for the translation. This song has always been contraversial when it comes to translation. Most people say Franco here speaks in a local dialect that they don't understand. Could you please do for me Ndaya by Tp Ok jazz? The chorus has been known to be another local dialect difficult for translators.

[@congolesrumbamusicwithtranslat]

Kikongo is the dialect that was used in both Ndaya and Kimpa Kisangameni.

[@christellendayakayowa3319]

@@congolesrumbamusicwithtranslat , in the kikongo, there are several dialects. The lyrics of Ndaya are in kintundi, Decca's dialect of kikongo. Decca wrote Ndaya. When we listen this song and Ndaya, we can heard that it isn't the same dialect. Ntesa sang Ndaya, he was too a kikongo. But when he explained in French the lyrics of Ndaya to a journalist, his translation was wrong because his dialect of kikongo was the kisingombe. He didn't understand the lyrics and he forgot the translation.

[@OjiamboGodfreyMutumi]

This song was sung in KIKONGO language, this was the language of Luambo Franco's mother mama Hellene Mbonga Makiesse may her soul rest in eternal peace.

[@mistanyambati6136]

Je crois, tu parles de Kinsiona de Franco, là où il pleure son jeune frère Bavon Mari-Mari. Mais, les paroles dont tu as utiliser sont de la chanson Kimumbu de Marcel Kouyena Muzita dont Kinsiona est inspirée. Cherche les deux. (Kimumbu à été reprise par d'autres musiciens chrétiens tels que Charles Mombaya, Palata Singers...)
