(Saxophone solo intro with walking bass)
Oh, my Modu Okala François
You are the rhythm of my soul
Ah ah, yeah
The sun sets over the Wouri bridge tonight
I see your face and everything feels right
In Douala city, under the bright moonlight
I hold your hand, I promise to hold you tight
From the coast of Bonanjo to the mountain peaks
It is your love that my heart forever seeks
François, you are my moonlight, my sweet delight
My love for you grows with every single night
Oh Modu Okala François, my heart beats for you
With a love so deep, everything feels so true
Na ndolo, my darling, dancing in the street
With the Makossa rhythm making life so sweet
Oh Modu Okala François, stay by my side
With you, my love, I have nothing to hide
Cameroon, Douala, we are shining so bright
My Modu Okala, you are my only light
Do you remember the nights at the seaside?
Where the waves told stories of our love so wide
Walking through Akwa, no need to run or hide
With you, François, I am always satisfied
Like a classic melody played on the brass
Our love is a vintage that will always pass
The test of time, yeah, it will always stay
I love you more with every passing day
Oh Modu Okala François, my heart beats for you
With a love so deep, everything feels so true
Na ndolo, my darling, dancing in the street
With the Makossa rhythm making life so sweet
Oh Modu Okala François, stay by my side
With you, my love, I have nothing to hide
Cameroon, Douala, we are shining so bright
My Modu Okala, you are my only light
(Saxophone melody)
Mbôa, we celebrate the bond we share
In the cool night air, I know you really care
François, you are the song inside my chest
Of all the men I know, you are simply the best
So let the bass guitar guide us through the night
Everything we do is feeling so right
From the city lights to the stars above
I am lost in the magic of our Makossa love
François, my mola, my heart, my everything
To you alone, this melody I sing
Oh Modu Okala François, my heart beats for you
With a love so deep, everything feels so true
Na ndolo, my darling, dancing in the street
With the Makossa rhythm making life so sweet
Oh Modu Okala François, stay by my side
With you, my love, I have nothing to hide
Cameroon, Douala, we are shining so bright
My Modu Okala, you are my only light
My Modu Okala François, na ndolo
Yeah, dancing forever, just you and me
Sawa rhythm, sweet love, ah ah
Cameroon mon pays, forever with you
(Bass fades out with soft saxophone melody)
