Papa Wemba - Ground Zero (Ode to Love) lyrics

[Couplet 1] Time was I would criticize my neighbor If his religion was not the same as mine But now my heart welcomes every form It is a prairie for the gazelles and A cloister for monks A temple for idols and A kaaba for the pilgrim The tables of the Torah and the book of the Qur'an I follow the religion of Love and whatever Direction taken by Love's camel That is my religion and my faith Come on [Refrain Papa Wemba] Na mokili Nzabe a sala biloko na bisso mabalé na mibalé oh Muasi na mobali moyi na nzanza eh eh Na mokili Nzabe a pesa moto nyoso chance ya ko zua oh Lelo ya yo lobi ya guaye Nzabe reureu a senga sé bolingo Eh Eh aha aha [Couplet 2] I was able to see that the book of my life was not Composed merely of ink and letters My hearth becomes white as snow When I taste the savors of "I love you" In your garden there are many flowers but only one water Let me clad myself in your love like a tunic Let count off the rosary of my heart in your memory Let me shout to the world the perfume of my desire The cement of providence binds us like bricks of the secret [Refrain Papa Wemba] Na mokili Nzabe a pesa moto nyoso chance ya ko zua oh Lelo ya yo lobi ya guaye Nzabe reureu a senga sé bolingo Eh Eh aha aha [Couplet 3] I was copper you made me gold, Alchemist of my heart You who knew how to erase my mistakes The only believer is the one who loves the other as himself Existence is a gift but so few people find this amazing Because the outfits it wears are never the same Because appearances only deceive those who stop at them I have drunk the wine of Love And people were changed into brothers [Refrain Papa Wemba] Na mokili Nzabe a pesa moto nyoso chance ya ko zua oh Lelo ya yo lobi ya guaye Nzabe reureu a senga sé bolingo Eh Eh aha aha Paroles rédigées et annotées par la communauté française de Rap Genius
