TRANSLATING THE NZEMA SONG MISS LOLO BY MEIWAY || QUEEN QUAYSON

[@Sinimashi]

"Miss Lolo" is a masterpiece of a party dance song. Kudos, Freddy Meiway.

[@emmanuelantwi1789]

I thought the whole song was sung in French😂😂😂 Saa na Nsema. The fact that it took more than a decade to know this amazes me. Good job, lady👏🏽

[@SouthwardTwist]

I had Nzema friends so I got some of the words. Moreover, Nzema has some Fante and basically Akan in it.

[@selormblagogee5737]

You are not alone 😂

[@AFRICA533]

I thought it Ga

[@mgesy3]

Yes but there are some french lyrics in it, because he's ivorian. There were also nouchi words (ivorian slangs)

[@patricegamor2257]

The song is actually an nzema anyí song . That’s the nzema dialect spoken in Ivory Coast

[@mckvibes4322]

Nzame language is a fusion of many languages. I can hear Twi, Sefwi, Nfante, Anyii. That makes it beautiful.

[@queenquayson]

Thank you🥰🥰

[@dr_eghan]

And Ahanta

[@RY92488]

It has bono in it too 😂😂😂

[@rawthentictruth]

I remember more than 20 years ago when I was in Cote d' Ivoire. The song was a hit back then. Still listening to it in 2023.

[@efuanenetecku1215]

I have been waiting for someone to translate most of the songs...I just love this man...the flare and the passion with which he sings

[@queenquayson]

Awww ikr

[@lesliefiadoyor4823]

finally discovered an excellent translator...the lyrics suddenly hit different now!!! Thank you!!

[@berkoandersonsamuelkwame2054]

Weldone my lady!! I’ve been searching for this translation long ago. I love the Nzema language. And I love Maiwey

[@Malalalaika]

Wow I’ve been waiting for this video since I was a kid 😂

[@queenquayson]

Same here! 😫 I’m glad I made our dream come true 😜

[@eugeneangamah2247]

I leaned my nzema language in Tema from my parents

[@wakaikozy6084]

His gestures did it all for me 😂

[@queenquayson]

😄😁

[@ismailekamara1237]

Really interesting to know that this song is in the Nzema language. I love the way you translated the song and now I have a clear description of this song. Now I know that Meiway and I have the same taste of women..........lol 😂 . I never new that NZEMA is also spoken in Ghana, that is interesting to know.

[@Royalpriest-x3w]

I have love this tune since childhood. I got familiar with the words when I move to Takoradi for my tertiary education. Good job 👍🏾 ❤

[@Aty3Studios]

... listened and played and enjoyed this song (I am a DJ) for 20years now and still loving it (even more now). I have always thought this song was a little naughty (from the imagery). However, the melody is infectious. Thank you for the great translation - I now have a better understanding of it. I hope you grow up to be a linguist ( assuming you are still growing up 🤣😂).

[@philldintwa]

I jst followed u cos of Meiway songs.. Love frm Botswana 😍😍

[@GeorgeEgbe-i5q]

Wwwooowww😂😂😂...Sincerely I am so PROUD to be AFRICAN ❤❤..it has taken me about 20years and finally I get the meaning of this song😅😅😅😅 Meiway is a GOAT

[@potash0]

I just came across this video and was amazed by the young lady's creativity. I am going to start watching her in KZbin, hopefully, i can find her on fb to follow. Great job, young lady!

[@Smartbot64]

From Kenya this song used to play back then on radio, never knew what it meant but It was and is still a vibe. Good work translating

[@queenquayson]

Thank you for your comment and I’m glad you enjoyed it ❤️

[@NathanKwadade]

@@queenquayson Nzema is quite an interesting language. It’s like a fufu with assorted meat soup; it’s an amalgamation of several different languages.

[@samuelantwi2325]

For over a decade i always felt i understood this song without understanding the lyrics little did i know it was nzema 😂

[@samuelbaker3489]

😂

[@davidboamah6679]

Thanks for this. Sooooooo impressed that I subscribed. Now hopefully I will be able to enjoy Nzema songs better

[@CharlenePfankuchen]

For the French part: He mostly repeats ''Ma chérie a les Lolo'' meaning My lady/babe has (big) boobs. He shouts out multiple Ladys and say they have (big) boobs and describes them with different words and the kind of movements they make

[@queenquayson]

Oh thank you! I suck at French , I appreciate this

[@klaas9344]

In french they use lolo to refer to Milk(le lait) for little children. So yeah😂😅. In this case he talks about breast

[@jessycam111]

4:27 In the context, " I want to dance" makes more sense than "I'm dancing" . He would like to join but he can't because he's old now and can't get (it) up anymore. So he's looking for his lost cane. The cane has a double meaning.

[@queenquayson]

That’s a good angle as well 👍🏾👍🏾

[@julzbuzz7243]

You got that right! 😊. Here "Kpôman" has double meanings. I leave it there.

Nice work. I am not nzema but i speak both Sefwi and Aowin. I think the part where he said "cbuati kuguma oo" has a similar meaning to your "backside is big". That's my POV. PS: You also resemble someone I know.

Nice…so what he means by “me si bie oo” is that I will dance too, then he says he can’t get up but the way they’re dancing is nice to him. And then he requests for a stick. He is angry he can’t find his stick and say they don’t know how to dance and that he will show them how when he finds his stick.

As an bad Agni speaker, it's thanks to you that I'm finaly able to understand what Meiway sings, when you says it, in Nzema (because, as I told you in your video on Zoblazo, these both dialects of Twi are close each other) But as a man, I guess you know that in the first hours this song got aired, I quickly caught these verses: "ô gnôflan béblébé" and "ô boutouman yi bè bo" 😀😀😀 May I have the favour to get these song translated (or just read in Nzema; it would be enough): -kzbin.info/www/bejne/fputlKKjgt2lY9ksi=SlkLmW01aPyn4sU4 (Maguy) -kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpPEY5SYdsiGoMksi=HqPlHudN-cCUulv5 (M'mapa) ? -I just understand the first phrase in Maguy (Maguy, why didn't you tell me about your departure for Europe? if you just talk for the rest of this song in Nzema, I'll understand but Twi of course and colonial translation would also be appraciated) Thanx in advance.

[@queenquayson]

Sure I’ll check them out ❤️❤️

[@abonsamfo]

@@queenquayson I think I have a clue for: "ô bo a ti koundouman oh (oyé)" "koundouman" in Nzema sounds like "cô-ndôman" in Agni which means a bite/mouthul, like a bite of rice for example. so if i'm right, "ô bo a ti koundouman oh" could be translated as "your butt is delicious" or "you're asslicious", "you're hotter"...
