The song talks about love between a brother and a sister. A guy is singing for Marguerite his own sister who lives on the other side of river Congo in Congo Brazaville. He says why is that they can only speak over the phone and yet only a river separate them. continues by saying, I decided to keep to my own if I get something that's fine if I don't I will wait for my turn for today maybe someone else's Let me change into a bird so that I can fly to where you are in Ponto la belle (Brazzaville).

Yes, in this age of technologocal overkill, music can be so simply made and yet be more poignant than any slick studio product.
I wish them great success and the strength to remain authentic even after they have the means to get "modern" equipment.
