9. Zala Na Ngai (Live)
Zala Na Ngai means stay with me or be with me. This live interpretation gives a clear idea of Deborah’s vocal talent.
Content-wise, she sings that what Yahweh has provided more than she expected, therefore she was to stay close by him and no one else. This simple yet powerful backbone allowed her and the band deliver an incredible live performance. Well done.
Here are some translations:
Oyo osali, elekeli nga;
What you did for me is more than I expected.
Bolamu na yo ekangoli nga.
Your kindness towards me set me free.
Yango na tatoli nionso osali na bomoi na nga yango nayembi.
I therefore testify all you goodness in my life, that’s why I sing.
Oyo osali elekeli nga
What you did for me is more than I expected
Bolamu na yo, ekangoli nga.
Your kindness towards me set me free.
Yango natatoli nionso osali na bomoi na nga Yahweh,
I therefore testify all you goodness in my life, Yahweh.
Yango nayembi: zala nanga.
That’s why I sing: Stay with me.
Na linginngi mosusu te kaka se yo Yahweh.
I want no one else, only you Yahweh
Yahweh zala na nga, Mosusu te kaka se yo Yaweh.
Yahweh stay with me, Not anyone else but you Yahweh.
Nalingi na vanda, pembeni na yo nawumela, Yaweh.
I want to sit near you for long, Yahweh.
Nalingi mosusu te kaka se yo Yaweh.
I want no one else but you Yahweh
