(Verse 1) Na kati ya Kinshasa, na lumière ya balabala, Nazalaki komona yo, na ndɔngɔ ya liboso. Motema ekotaki na moto, lokola feu ya bolingo, Nzoto na ngai ebaluki, tango tomoni miso na miso. (Pre-Chorus) Yo nde lumière na butu, Nzela nyonso ezo kende epai na yo, Na ndoto mpe na réalité, Yo nde okómí na ngai moko. (Chorus) Bolingo ya motema – ezali vérité, Ezali flamme oyo ekosila te. Soki monde ekobeba, ngai na yo tokovanda kaka, Na nzoto, na motema, tozali moko. (Verse 2) Ba camarades bazali koloba, “Bolingo ya jeunesse ezali lokuta.” Kasi na ngai, nazali koyeba, Yo nde vérité, yo nde libala. Na danse ya kwassa, nzoto na yo ebaluka, Na rythme ya guitare, motema na ngai ezali kobunda. (Pre-Chorus) Yo nde chérie ya rêve, Bolingo ezali kolala te. Tokotambola ensemble, Ata monde ezali kobeta. (Chorus) Bolingo ya motema – ezali vérité, Ezali flamme oyo ekosila te. Soki monde ekobeba, ngai na yo tokovanda kaka, Na nzoto, na motema, tozali moko. (Bridge) Kwassa kwassa, bolingo ezo bɛta, Na misisa, na makila, oyééé. Soki yo pe olingi ngai, Tokozala histoire ya libela. (Outro) Bolingo ya motema, ngai na yo seko, Na nse ya mbula, na soleil ya Congo. Nzoto moko, motema moko, Kwassa kwassa ezali témoin ya bolingo na biso.
