Lyrics - Lingala language
(Folk song from the Democratic Republic of the Congo)
Bebe moke, nani abeti yo,
Loba na nga, Ngai pe nazongisa.
Mbala mosusu otutani na mur ya nda ko.
Translation - Baby so small
Baby so small, hush now, don’t you cry,
Tell me what’s wrong, I’ll take care of you.
You are safe now, close your eyes,
Hush, hush a bye.
