[Lingala] When We're Gone

Lyrics

[Intro – Soft piano + distant choir]  
Hmmmm…  
Ohhh…  
Tozali awa na ntango moko…  
Eloko nini tokotika nsima...

[Verse 1]  
Tosali nzela oyo elongo, tango ezali koleka,  
Motema moko na libela, loyembo na se ya likoló.  
Biloko nyonso tokangaka, nyonso totangaka ya biso,  
Ekozala kimya — kasi bolingo ekofanda.

Tosalisaki motema ya kolemba?  
Tosalisaki moto atelemaka?  
Topesaki lisusu mingi?  
Totandaki maboko polele?

[Pre-Chorus]  
Na suka te ezali wolo,  
Te nguya oyo tokokanga,  
Ezali bomoi oyo topesi nzela…

[Chorus / Hook – UNIVERSAL ANTHEM]  
🌍 Tango tokokende — nini ekotikala?  
Bolingo topesaki to mpasi ya kimya?  
Motema nyonso, bomoi nyonso toyebaki —  
Ezali mokili tokotikala tango tokokende.

🌍 Tango tokokende — bakotombola?  
Mitima makasi na miso ya kofungola?  
Molimo nyonso tosalisaki —  
Ezali bomoi tango tokokende.

👉 (Soft Echo Layer)  
Tango tokokende… tango tokokende…

[Verse 2]  
Mokili oyo tokabola ezali peto, kasi kitoko mpe kongenga,  
Elenge nyonso ya boboto epesaka polele ya kongenga.  
Moto moko te atambola ye moko soki toponi komona,  
Bomoi na yo mpe na ngai ezali lisolo moko.

Teya mwana na yo pembeni,  
Lakisa bango ndenge ya koyeba,  
Pesá bango lisusu koleka mateya —  
Pesá bango elikya ya kokabola.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Eloko tokosala na mitima ya bato,  
Ekozala koleka nyonso tozali,  
Ekozala epai ya bato nsima ya mikolo…

[Chorus / Hook – BIGGER LIFT]  
🌍 Tango tokokende — nini ekotikala?  
Bolingo topesaki to mpasi ya kimya?  
Motema nyonso, bomoi nyonso toyebaki —  
Ezali mokili tokotikala tango tokokende.

🌍 Tango tokokende — bakotombola?  
Mitima makasi na miso ya kofungola?  
Molimo nyonso tosalisaki —  
Ezali bomoi tango tokokende.

👉 (Choir Layer)  
Tombola… tombola… bakotombola…

[Bridge – Choir + Global Voices]  
(Soft → Massive Build)  
Ohhh…  

Tosali bondela uta sik'oyo kino libela…

Tombola mongongo — pona baoyo bakoya,  
Mwasi nyonso, mwana nyonso.  
Eloko tokopesa ekokoma nzela na bango,  
Tokosala lobi lelo.

Ezala na kobanga te, ezala na kobimisa te,  
Tozali moko — tokotombola lokola moko.

[Final Chorus / Outro – FULL HUMAN ANTHEM]  
🌍 Tango tokokende — nini ekotikala?  
Bolingo topesaki to mpasi ya kimya?  
Motema nyonso, bomoi nyonso toyebaki —  
Ezali mokili tokotikala tango tokokende.

🌍 Tango tokokende — bakotombola,  
Na elikya na miso na bango.  
Molimo nyonso tosalisaki —  
Ezali bomoi tango tokokende.

👉 (Final Choir Chant)  
Tozali moko… tozali moko…

[Outro – Whisper + Piano Fade]  
Tozali awa kaka…  
Kopesa lisungi na moto…
