🎤 LYRICS
(Intro – guitare soukous brillante, cris de joie, tambours légers)

Tokolinga! Tokolinga!
(We will love each other!)
Toku loto, batu nyonso moko!
(Hand in hand, we are one people!)

(Couplet 1)

Long time no see, my brother,
Heart dey dance like thunder.
City far, but soul near,
Now joy don clear all tear.

Kinshasa to Brazzaville,
Love dey cross every hill.
When we laugh, we rebuild,
When we dance, pain dey yield.

(Refrain)

Toku loto, batu nyonso moko!
Hand in hand, we are one people!
Dance together, shine forever!
Toku loto, batu nyonso moko!

(Couplet 2)

Remember the days of struggle,
Now we dey sing double.
From the dust we rise again,
Music dey wash all pain.

Sister smile, brother sing,
Togetherness na the thing.
Even the drum dey talk “unity”,
Joy be our destiny.

(Pont – guitare solo et cuivres lumineux)

When I see you, I see home.
No border can break this drum.

(Refrain final)

Toku loto, batu nyonso moko!
Hand in hand, we are one people!
Dance together, shine forever!
Toku loto, batu nyonso moko!

(Outro – guitare soukous et chœurs en fade sur “Toku loto…”)
