Libinza (Democratic Republic of the Congo)
Verse 1
Na se ya sanza ya mpembe, Liyoka lyami lina kenda na zulu ya minzoto, Bikuku te ya kokanga ngai, Nalingi koyeba te soki moto ayoki kolela kwami. Mpepo ya butu ebombi nzembo ya botondi, Awa nde nazali, nazali na bonsomi mpe na lipamboli.
Verse 2
Mikɔ́ngɔ ya sanza ebina na note nyonso, Melodi ekobima na motema na ngai, Liloba nyonso ya lokumu oyo napesi Esalaka ete mabele na likolo bapusana. Na pole ya sanza, molimo na ngai emataki, Nazali koyemba botondi epai ya Ye oyo azongisaka.

Verse 1:
Beneath the moon's soft silver glow, My voice lifts up to starlit skies, No walls to hold, no need to know If anyone can hear my cries. The night air holds my grateful song, Here, free and blessed, is where I belong.
Verse 2:
The moonbeams dance on every note, As melodies flow from my heart, Each word of praise that I devote Makes earth and heaven feel less apart. In lunar light, my spirit soars, Singing thanks to Him who restores.
