All news hurt me

Hunger, all hurt my heart (chorus)

Hunger, all make me cry so bad

Conflicts, industries rejections

How about cancer in all form

Consuming drug or taking heroin

How about people dying of hunger

Theft, rape, murder, violence

I want peace today

I wanna live in the garden of Eden

Don't wanna hear bad news

My wish and hope are white on black

Beautiful flowers around

Beauty of flowers in the garden

A baby born, the sun shining

Pretty woman walking by (chorus)

(3) Translated lyrics of AVENUE MAYALA

MAYALA AVENUE

Going back to time

Oh! Oh! Oh!

In nineteen eighty

Ah! Ah! Ah!

First pic appearing

Is Mayala Avenue

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

We use to say

Oh! Oh! Oh

Mayala Avenue

Ah! Ah! Ah!

Despite being a simple street

In reality

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Yeah! Eah! Eah!

Chorus:

It will remain Mayala Avenue

For ever (deep bass voice)

With branches here and there

We saw many people walking

Eh! Eh! Eh!

People of any kind

Oh! Oh! Oh

On this Mayala Avenue

It's still the same

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

We have to valorise it

Eh! Eh! Eh!

We have to asphalt it

Eh! Eh! Eh!

As those who got medals

After winning

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Yeah! Eah! Eah!

Chorus:

It will remain Mayala Avenue

For ever (deep bass voice)

With branches here and there

(Dialogues)

Different nationalities

It was a melting-pot

The street where I grew up

I went barefoot, shorts on

Slippers, shoes on

With that innocent childhood

Will remain Mayala Avenue

Yeah! Eah! Eah!

Quiet and calm street

In 2020

I see many transport buses

Full on that street

Petition!

This requires a talk for a solution

Hello to Mayala inhabitants!

MINE

Chorus:

She is sleeping like a log

She is so pretty, I am looking at her

I admire you're by my side baby

You smell like honey

When I don't see you, fire inside me

Burns the bottom of my heart

My exes and those before

Are in the book chapters

I won't read again!

Uh!

When we met

The first time

I did not fear

As if we knew each other

For years

To honor you before your family

Of Zamunda kingdom

Oh! I'll always stand by you

Protect you, cradle you

Like a new born baby eh!

As if everywhere belongs to us

Thrown to a dynamite

(10) Translated lyrics of COMPETITION

COMPETITION

Hum! Kim Kimboko Haute Tension, 6600

As human we have the same origin

We're created from sand

God named our form human being

Seen as nothing or as a person with value

Competition spirit surrounds the world

Lots of competitions, exams, classifications

Why humiliate those who fail

The best ones get medals

In competition, gold, silver, bronze

The forth one is forgotten

Don't mistake first for last

Even first for second

Pay honor to whom honor is due

Some compete with bad intentions

Which are witchcraft. Hey! Hey!

Chorus:

Competition is still going on

Today's 4 u, next day someone else

Let us compete fair play

Mate

Competition is still going on

Today's 4 u, next day someone else

Let us compete fair play

Mate

The weight is not winning but participating

Says Pierre de Coubertin uh uh

Taking part is a great step

But winning has a great value

As people get rewards

Chorus:

Competition is still going on

Today's 4 u, next day someone else

Let us compete fair play

Mate

Competition is still going on

Today's 4 u, next day someone else

Let us compete fair play

Mate

Many are really famous

Cos they committed, worked hard

(Same English dialogue below in Spanish and French)

Competition is still going on

Today is for you, tomorrow for someone else

Let us compete fair play
