I know only one place
But it's not respectable
Where they play this blues
As black as the sand.

Mona mona muene
Kissueia ueza
Mona mona muene
Kalunga n'gumba.

I know only one voice
That is really capable
It's deep, stronger than you
He is not responsible.

Mona mona muene
Kissueia ueza
Mona mona muene
Kalunga n'gumba.

It's the blues of Angola
Minor and solitary
That comes to us from Luanda
It's a song of dust.

Mona mona muene
Kissueia ueza
Mona mona muene
Kalunga n'gumba.

Had to leave, leave there
Your dreams and this war
And the black gold that you don't have
For all these mercenaries.

Who have blood on their hands
To the end of Hell
Run faster, say nothing
Under this rain of iron.

Alukenu n'gondofua
N'ga mu binga kià - ué

Muene ondo kala beniaba
Eme n'gondoiame.

Mona mona muene
Kissueia ueza
Mona mona muene
Kalunga n'gumba.

Zambi uà n'gui bane oh mona
N'ga mu valele
Mona mona muene
Kalunga n'gumba.

You never talk about it, you
You my friend, my brother
Who did you lose there
Lying in the dust?

Mona mona muene
Kissueia ueza
Mona mona muene
Kalunga n'gumba.

Mona mona muene
Kissueia ueza
Mona mona muene
Kalunga n'gumba.

I want blood for 20 faces
Diamonds, rivers...
Oil tankers from Panama
Your dollars exasperate me.

It's the blues of Angola
Minor and solitary
That comes to us from Luanda
It's a song of dust.

Mona mona muene
Kissueia ueza
Mona mona muene
Kalunga n'gumba.
