(Folk song from the Democratic Republic of the Congo)
Refrain
Me, me, nkombo meka (repeat)
1. All the girls will want to see a handsome man when they pass.
Yes the girls will want to see a handsome man when they pass.
2. When I die please carry me out there where all the girls pass,
All the girls will want to see a handsome man when they pass.
