Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Oh chérie coco, tongana nië?
Ta mo pèndèrë unh ma chérie,
Hummmm
Merci na baba Nzapa so Lö lèkêrè mö so mama,
Pendèrè ti ongo mo so a ké dâ apë
Ba démarche, ba pendèrè ehhhh,
Tu es tellement belle!

“These are the words I tell myself when I see you”

Chorus:
If I could tell you how I feel,
Would you take a chance and let it be real?
Our love is a flame that time can still
If only I could tell you how I feel (x2)

Verse 2:
I know what it is man,
sometimes you just want to tell her
How you’re feeling.
Damn, she is intimidating
You admire her, you… respect her so much

Za mbi pika mbeni kété Sango guë si ohhh,

Bon même si mö yé mariage apë

Mais mbi na mö so, guèrè to mbi guèrè ti mö,

Oh ma Reine, mä nga mbi mama


Chorus:
If I could tell you how I feel,
Would you take a chance and let it be real?
Our love is a flame that time can still
If only I could tell you how I feel (x2)

Version 3:
I often imagine you and I
Being happy together
Building together
Mä mbi nzoni

Mais même si mö yê apè mbi ké respecter choix ti mö
Merci.

Chorus:
If I could tell you how I feel,
Would you take a chance and let it be real?
Our love is a flame that time can still
If only I could tell you how I feel (x2)
