# TUMBAYA *Lelo nzo ya mpuku.* **[INTRO — Bare Drums, Finger Snaps, Playful Female Vocal]** *(Dum… da-dum… clap!)* Ey, iwe! Ee, iwe! Ofina ndoto na yo? Ofina nsambu na yo? Yela yango! *(Bass begins to bounce.)* Tum-tum… TUMBAYA! **[CHORUS — EXPLOSIVE AFRO-HOUSE DROP]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Bikila mpata, bina nku! Ey-ya, ey-ya, oh! Leka nsi yonso loba, “Kenda!” Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Yela ndoto na maloba! Etape moko libanda, Mibale na kati— TUMBAYA! Leka matondo ya kala! **[VERSE 1 — BOUNCY AFROBEATS, HIGHLIFE GUITAR]** Lobi mvula ebetaka Na nzo oyo efutami te. Lelo kuna ezali libula, Bato ya mboka bayangana. Moto moko ayeli miziki, Moto moko ayeli lipa. Moto moko ayeli likanisi Oyo ezalaki na motó. Mwasi moko na zando, Elenge moko azali koyekola. Mwana moko akeyi kobimisa Biloko na se ya mbeto. Moto moko ayebi te lobi, Moto moko azali na plan te. Kasi ndoto ekomi mobembo Soki tosalaki oyo tokoki. **[PRE-CHORUS — RISING FEMALE HARMONIES]** Eh, kobanga koyeba nyonso te, Kobanga kozela mokolo malamu te. Zua likoki ezali pembeni na yo, Leka rythme etambola nzela. Soki ozali na mwa moi, Dela yango na moto ya sika. Ezali nse ya makoki Soki ezali esika na ngai mpe yo! **[CHORUS — FULL AMAPIANO LOG-DRUM DROP]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Bikila mpata, bina nku! Ey-ya, ey-ya, oh! Leka nsi yonso loba, “Kenda!” Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Yela ndoto na maloba! Etape moko libanda, Mibale na kati— TUMBAYA! Leka matondo ya kala! **[POST-CHORUS — VIRAL DANCE CHANT]** Tum! Tum! Ey! Ey! Bima libanda! Koma! Koma! Ba! Ba! Kita! Kita! Zongisa yango! Yelisa yango! TUMBAYA! **[VERSE 2 — FEMALE LEAD, ROLLING BASS]** Azali mobokoli na biloko, Azali mobimisi na ndoto. Azali moyekoli na mayele, Azali moteki na bandeko. Utaka na mboka ti na engumba, Utaka na ngomba ti na mai, Moto nionso azali na likoki Na likanisi yokomona mingi. Sweefin eyokani bato na makoki, Epesaka nzela ya matomba. Nzela ya kobomba, koteka, kotanga Efungola likoki mokolo na mokolo. Soki moto moko amoni nzela, Moto mosusu amoni yango mpe. Ezali lobi ya kobongisa Na biloko oyo tokoki kosala. **[PRE-CHORUS — CHOIR BUILDS]** Eh, kobanga koyeba nyonso te, Kobanga kozela mokolo malamu te. Zua likoki ezali pembeni na yo, Leka rythme etambola nzela. Soki ozali na mwa moi, Dela yango na moto ya sika. Ezali nse ya makoki Soki ezali esika na ngai mpe yo! **[CHORUS — FESTIVAL DANCE DROP]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Bikila mpata, bina nku! Ey-ya, ey-ya, oh! Leka nsi yonso loba, “Kenda!” Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Yela ndoto na maloba! Etape moko libanda, Mibale na kati— TUMBAYA! Leka matondo ya kala! **[BRIDGE — EMOTIONAL PIANO, CHILDREN'S CHOIR]** **[VERSE]** Soki nzela elingani kilo mingi, Soki ozwaki mosala mingi koleka baninga, Tika omona bolamu mwa moke Na bisika olingi koyoka elikya. Bomoi nyonso eza na limemya na yango, Loboko nyonso eza na loyembo na yango. Lobi ekobima na elikya mingi Tango tosalisana na nzela. *(Miziki ekita na ndobo moko ya ngoma.)* **[SPOKEN BUILD — FEMALE LEAD]** Ndoto na mpoketi... Loyembo na makolo... Pe mokili mobimba ezali kozela... Yo okende! **[DANCE BREAK — CALL AND RESPONSE]** Lead: Oza na ndoto? Crowd: Ee, tozali! Lead: Oza na rythme? Crowd: Nga na yo! Lead: Nani akoki kosangana? Crowd: Bato nyonso! Lead: Bongo sepela! *(Ngoma elongwa.)* Tum! Tum! Kata! Kata! Ba! Ba! Kofuta! Kofuta! Ya! Ya! Zonga na nyuma! TUMBAYA! Yoka yango! *(NGOMA YA AMAPIANO YA MAKASI)* **[INSTRUMENTAL DANCE BREAK — NGOMA YA MIKEMI, GUITARE YA HIGHLIFE, BRASS YA FESTIVAL]** Tum-tum! TUMBAYA! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! *(Bato bakumisa na groove.)* **[FINAL CHORUS — FULL FESTIVAL CHOIR]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Kata putulu pe sepela! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Tikela mokili mobimba koloba, “Kende!” Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Mema ndoto na mokolo! Etape moko libanda, Etape mibale kokota— TUMBAYA! Tikela esengo ebandela! **[OUTRO — GUITARE YA HIGHLIFE YA MALAMU, CHOIR EKITA]** Ndoto nkama moko, Banzela nkama moko. Kokangana mwa moke, Elikya mwa moke mokolo na mokolo. Sweefin ememaka banzela ya sika ya kosangana, Kokela, kosomba, pe kokola. Tum-tum! TUMBAYA! Ndoto nyonso ezali na loyembo. TUMBAYA! *(Sango ya nsuka ya ngoma ya esengo.)*
