[Kikongo] Upbeyond

Lyrics

# UPBEYOND
*Sweefin Music — Kikongo Version*

**[Intro — Distant Choir, African Drums, Rising Synth]**

Eh-oh, eh-oh!  
Yoka matambe ya koya!

Utuka na nzila moko ya moke,  
Yoka ritmo kokoma na porte.

Oh-ya, oh-ya!  
Oyo yoka bantu koyemba!

Kuma, kuma, likolo!  
Sik'oyo yango ya malamu ekoba!

**[Verse 1 — Percussive Afrobeat Groove]**

Lobi na nzela, mwinda ebetaki,  
Lelo matambe ebele ezali.  
Bato oyo bazalaki na motema,  
Bazui maloba ya kotambola.

Epai ya bifelo, tozali kotia bibale,  
Epai ya kokakatana, tozali kotuna mingi.  
Na Sweefin tozali kosangisa bato,  
Mingi bakoki kosala, kobongisa, mpe kotambola.

Eloko moko te ya moke mpo na ebandela,  
Mokili moko te ya mosika mpo na kobongola.  
Tosengeli te kozela likolo ya kokoka,  
Tosala tango moyi ezali kotombola.

**[Pre-Chorus — Handclaps and Rising Harmonies]**

Oyo yoka yango? (Yoka yango!)  
Oyo yoka yango? (Yoka yango!)

Eloko ya malamu ezali komekola,  
Esika ezali mpo na ngai mpe yo.

Kosa motema, pesa loboko,  
Tika moko ya ndoto atelemaka.  
Tango mokili mobimba ezali koyemba,  
Ata mongongo ya moke ezali makasi!

**[Chorus — Explosive Global Dance Hook]**

Kuma, kuma, likolo!  
Sik'oyo yango ya malamu ekoba!

Bongisa nzoto, yemba loyembo,  
Bato nyonso boye!

Kuma, kuma, likolo!  
Tika bifelo ya kala ekita!

Hey-oh, hey-oh, tomatisa,  
Talaka biloko ebele ekolaka!

Upbeyond! Upbeyond!  
Tika ritmo ekoba!

Moko lisusu, moko lisusu,  
Pesa mokili mobimba danse!

**[Post-Chorus — Festival Crowd Chant]**

Oh-ya-ya! Oh-ya-ya!  
Bato nyonso, yebisá
