i wonder why you deleted the translation you made of  "sophie ya motema"! pity! this is a fantastic piece of work you accomplished there. it isn't easy to enter the "soul of lyrics", but you made it!

Nyonso yo olingi nde o zui

Everything you want then you get

Sophia yo motema, chérie

Sophia you my heart, darling

Yo ozali se makila

You are indeed my blood

Na lobaki na yo kanga motema nde o zui nyonso, mabanzo ( (I told to you restrain/control heart then you get everything, thought)I told you to be patient then you get everything, my thought (subject of my thought)

Na monisi yo nzela

I showed you the way(path)

yo olandi landa landa (You followed following following)

You followed the trend of the world

Na yebisi yo zongela nzela, yo omeseni Sophia (I told you comeback way(path), you got used Sophia)

I told you to come back to the right way, you got used to the wrong one (you kept going the wrong way), sophia

[LovelyWeronika]
