English Translation:
Turn up the fire! We are going to eat tchaka!
Turn up the fire, stir up the corn, don’t forget the salt pork,
We are going to eat a delicious tchaka.
We are going to cook up a mind-blowing stew.
At the sound of the three drums, everyone yells out hurray.
If we join together we can all move forward.
Let us enmesh in lovely harmony
A delicious homemade stew, a musical tchaka.
It’s a delicious homemade stew, a national tchaka,
A delicious homemade stew…
Turn up the fire! Turn up the fire!
*Yanvalou, Kontredans, Rabòday are amazing.
Roots music, oh yes, that’s good stuff.
Let’s stick together; side by side we can move forward.
Turn up the fire! Turn up the fire! The tchaka is cooking!
*Ibo, Bolero, Banda, Mayi, Congo, Petro, Maskaron…
These are the rhythms of our roots.
We danced *Kalinda and we sang Rabòday,
Heads together, with love, let us do great things.
Turn up the fire! Turn up the fire!
We proclaimed hope and we sang of peace,
So that the light of justice spreads throughout the earth.
We’ll keep on singing…
We’ll keep on singing to make life more beautiful!
In justice and in love, let’s eat a delicious tchaka!
Amen!
Let’s eat a delicious tchaka!
