English
This is the Swahili translation of “Liputa” by Fally Ipupa. It tells the story of a man deeply in love with a woman named Tabu Fatu. From the very beginning, he pleads with her to keep loving him, asking her to keep a linen cloth in her luxurious car to cover him when he feels cold of love. He compares love to oxygen, saying he cannot resist it. Love has no color, no smell, and takes the shape of whatever it’s placed in.
He goes on to say that if he could, he would tattoo Tabu Fatu’s words onto his body so she could read them and maybe change her mind. He confesses he has lost so much weight, like someone living in a war-torn country. The song is full of emotion, poetic imagery, and the pain of true love. These are just a few lines—there’s so much more he says. It’s worth listening from start to finish.

Voici la traduction swahilie du morceau “Liputa” de Fally Ipupa. C’est l’histoire d’un homme profondément amoureux d’une femme appelée Tabu Fatu. Dès le début, il la supplie de continuer à l’aimer, lui demandant de garder un tissu de liputa dans sa voiture luxueuse pour le couvrir quand l’amour l’appelle. Il compare l’amour à l’oxygène—il dit qu’il ne peut pas le refuser. L’amour n’a ni couleur, ni odeur, et prend la forme de tout ce dans quoi on le met.
Il ajoute que s’il pouvait, il tatouerait les paroles de Tabu Fatu sur son corps pour qu’elle les voie et peut-être change d’avis. Il avoue avoir beaucoup maigri, comme quelqu’un vivant dans un pays en guerre. Ce morceau est rempli d’émotions, d’images poétiques, et de la douleur d’un amour sincère. Ce ne sont que quelques phrases parmi tant d’autres—ça vaut vraiment la peine d’écouter le morceau en entier.
