KUMAMA LYRICS WITH TRANSLATION BY AMANDA MALELA

{verse 1}
Why do you look at me this way , Oh Daddy?
What is it that you wanna say , Oh Chéri ?
God put you on my way
[That I know for sure]
Just say the word, and I'll say "YES!"

Just get down on one
Legalise somebody
Sepela moninga abali
Just married
(x2)

Only you
It's only thanks to you

That's why we say

{chorus}
Kumama – elele eh , Glory to You
[Kumama Glory to you, Kumama]
Glory Kumama eh yeah
[Kumama Glory to you, Kumama]

{verse 2}
It’s true , it’s you I choose
To be my one and only
If you’re happy and you know it
Tapez des mains [Tapez des mains = clap your hands]

No second guess
I know that God will lead the way
If you’re happy and you know it
Tapez des mains [Beta maboko = clap your hands]

Just get down on one
Legalise somebody

Just married
