Fally Ipupa's song "Bloque" lists a number of footballers (soccer players) of African descent. However, the word "blocked" in his 2022 song doesn't refer to the physical act of blocking a player's moves.

*Google translate mistakenly translated "
boloqué" as "bollocked".

Google translate gives the English translation "Struck" for the French word "Frappe". I think that the English word "Strike" fits better.

Google translates gives the translation "music" for "musika". I think "musicians" (meaning "other musicians" / recording artists) is a better fit.
 
Google translate doesn't give any English meaning for the Lingala word "pia".
https://www.ksludotique.com/lingala-space/lingala-common-expressions/?lang=en gives this English translation for the Lingala common expression "abu pia!" - finished ! end of the discussion "

I chose to use the word "forget" for the word "pia".  I think that "forget" here means "fail to acknowledge". 

I think that "not to let them touch" means something like "Don't let them bother you"/ "Don't worry about them". 

I added the words in [___] to clarify the meaning of those lyrics.

A partir de 0:27 jusqu'à la 56ème min, avec l'entrée de Jenny Bosenge, muana mboka, c'est ça qui me retient dans ce clip. Surtout quand il dit : Pepa, pepa! La voix est tellement bien posée! Je peux mettre cette intro sur repeat 100 fois!

Autre joli moment selon moi: la fille couleur noir ébène en tenue bleue! She is lit 🔥🔥🔥

J'ai aussi remarqué la grand-mère, la fille albinos. C'est très inclusif! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

En général, un beau geste envers les fans de Fally qui sont mis à l'honneur dans ce clip. Comme quoi quelque chose de bon peut sortir même dans les amusements au studio. Bravo encore à l'artiste.

Another nice moment in my opinion: the ebony black girl in blue outfit! She is lit 🔥🔥🔥

I also noticed the grandmother, the albino girl. It's very inclusive! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

In general, a nice gesture towards the fans of Fally who are honored in this clip. Like what good can come out even in the amusements at the studio. Congratulations again to the artist."
