This seems to have been performed by the Bay Ridge Band, and this is not Finnish (seems like Zulu). Please don't add wrong information.

EDIT: As it's a traditional African song, I added a page for African Folk. And this is in Lingala. Corrected.

Hi, [@MickG]! What do all your "it should be" mean? Are you pointing out mistakes in the lyrics?

Exactly. See also the notes to my translations. I would edit them myself but the site doesn't seem to want to let me.

Inappropriately added annotations removed. [@MickG] if you want to point out mistakes in the lyrics, please, do not use annotations. As our FAQ read:

Frequently Asked Questions wrote:

Annotations are for adding meaning to the lyrics. Annotations should be helpful for translators since they explain context or history, allusions to other songs. Explaining slang is a good example of annotation. It is like footnotes, that anyone can add. Annotations are not for corrections of lyrics.

If you haven't already, I warmly encourage you to read carefully our rules and FAQ. Thank you.

They did it in the Thread moments after your comment, I already edited what was needed. Thanks for that as well, I was not aware of the annotations.
