Mayday English Lyrics

"Mayday" Adolphe, my Adolphe, she's the one for me

To soothe me, for the umpteenth time

Love makes me a widow while you're still alive

My love, just kill me once, Adolphe

Aah Papa, please answer me, forgive me, my darling

Reserved cemetery, tombs for the deceased

Family, friends try to console

But I'm dying (already)

Aah Papa, please answer me, forgive me, Muteba

Reserved cemetery, tombs for the deceased

Family, friends try to console

But I'm dying (already)

I've resorted to living a hidden life

To protect my reputation from being tarnished

I've spent weeks drowning my sorrows

For love, it's far from me, aah

Adolphe, you're keeping your distance from me, aah

Mayday, mayday, mayday, forgive, acknowledge my sorrow, eeh

Ah mama, my life is always complicated

Since Muteba left (Adolphe)

My love Tshilamwina, since you left

I'm not myself anymore

My spirit is faltering, my shortcomings

My love, come back

Everywhere they try to separate us, eeh

Love, where have you vanished to?

I'm so sad, inconsolable

For the vastness you've become to me

They always love you, never like this

Call and distress, they're calling and crying out

I'm calling, Adolphe, Muteba, Tshilamwina

I have a broken heart, I'm scared, I'm sad

Aaaah, aaah, aaaaah, aaah, aaaah, aaah, too much sorrow

In the name of love, I will

Always be there for you, bae

My love for you is undying

My Tshilamwina, Adolphe

You killed, you left, you're the cause of my tears, eeh

Come back to me, Adolphe, it's not you, it's me

A human being needs consolation

To change even my tears of sorrow

Into tears of joy

I love you, but Adolphe, why do I

Keep crying for you?

Even if someone is accused as a murderer

They still have the right

Of presumption of innocence

I call, Adolphe, morning, noon, and night

I'm becoming addicted to fibros, Adolphe

Mayday, mayday, mayday, forgive, acknowledge my sorrow, eeh

Ah mama, ah, my life is always complicated

Since Muteba left (Papa ah)

My love, Tshilamwina

Aah, they always love you, never like this

Call and distress, they're calling and crying out

I'm calling, Adolphe, Muteba, Tshilamwina

I have a broken heart, I'm scared, I'm sad

Aaaah, aaah, aaaaah, aaah, aaaah, aaah, too much sorrow

Before the time is not the time

After the time is no longer the time

I know that too

But I always strive to be ahead

To find my true place in life, in spirit

In my heart, Muteba, Tshilamwina, I'm alone

A person who doesn't advance

I've given too much love to Adolphe, Muteba

But love, Adolphe, you've hurt me before

Love has made me bulimic

Dear, you've anticipated my death ahead of time

Adolphe, Muteba, Charles Silu Mvangi, move forward

Chimene, Mercedes Zema, move forward

Nenet in Goma, move forward

My enemies, my friends, move forward

My enemies, I'm too far ahead

(Doris Pembe)

Before the time is not the time

My enemies, you're still lagging behind

Mayday, mayday, mayday (mayday)

Forgive, acknowledge my sorrow, eeh (acknowledge my sorrow)

Ah mama, ah, my life is always complicated

Since Muteba left (Papa ah)

My love, Tshilamwina (Tshilamwina)

Ah, call and distress, they're calling and crying out

I'm calling, Adolphe, Muteba, Tshilamwina

I have a broken heart, I'm scared, I'm sad

Aaaah, aaah, aaaaah, aaah, aaaah, aaah, too much sorrow

Hee, the charismatic Doungou Zidane

Just you, my love, Adolphe

You're my love, Muteba

Você, my love, Tshilamwina

You're my true baby

My life isn't worth living without Muteba

I love you, and I'll always love you no matter what

No matter the cost

You're my love, my dear, my everything

A-a-a-h lalala lalala lala laaa aaaah
