Mayumba
L’hiver, il fait chaud,
je t’écris de Mayumba.
L’hiver, il fait chaud,
que c’est loin de toi Mayumba.
Dans une ville où tout s’endort,
les vieux guerriers changent
le feu en or là-haut.
Les champs de sorgo
et les gens de Mayumba
attendant un peu d’eau,
mais l’été n’est pas encore là !
Les nuits sont longues à Mayumba.
À chaque instant, j’entends
son cœur qui bat, Bongo.
L’hiver, il fait chaud,
je t’écris de Mayumba.
L’hiver, il fait chaud,
que c’est loin de toi Mayumba.
Dans une ville où tout s’endort
les vieux guerriers changent
le feu en or là-haut.

Mayumba
The winter, it is hot
I write to you from Mayumba
The winter, it is hot
that it is far from you, Mayumba
In a city where everyone sleeps
The old warriors change
The golden fire above
The sorghum fields
And the people of Mayumba
Wait for a little water
But the summer isn't here yet
Nights are long in Mayumba
At each instant, I hear
its beating heart, Bongo
The winter, it is hot
I write to you from Mayumba
The winter, it is hot
that it is far from you, Mayumba
In a city where everyone sleeps
The old warriors change
The golden fire above

I think it's 'in winter, it's hot', and 'everything sleeps'
