Today I am on an old school streak - I just found myself listening to Papa Wemba's songs.... given my wide range taste in music and my mood swings I could go from listening to Eric Whitacare Sleep to Eminem's 8 mile - today my moods just led me to Papa Wemba.
My all time favorite Rail On.
Funny though I have always thought Papa Wemba say's Wellon but he actually says Rail on.
No worries though I am not in any break up and no one in our relationship is going to Rail On anytime in the foreseeable future.

Here are the lyrics transcribed by me - feel free to make corrections (he uses Congolese affected Kiswahili)
Papa Wemba - Rail On
Machozi yangu yote inamalizika- aa
mie nitalala na nani-ii?
Wee unaenda
Mie paka ni mawazo oo
Mie paka ni kuwazawaza
Wee unaenda, Unaenda aa
Kama ile njia yako – enda
Kama ni maisha yako – fuata
Wee dada – rail on
Rail on, Rail on, Rail
on
Think that’s the way
Rail on, Rail on, Rail
on
Think that’s the way ×

Leo paka ni mawazo oo
Hapo unaniacha – ng’o oo
Kama wee unaenda – wee unaenda aaa – wee unaenda aa
Rail on, Rail on, Rail
on
Think that’s the way
Rail on, Rail on, Rail
on
Think that’s the way ×

Rail on, Rail on, Rail on think that’s the way
Rail on think that’s the way
I also listened to Show Me the Way and Yolele - sorry I don't have lyrics for those ...enjoy
Papa Wemba - Yolele
Papa Wemba - Show me theWay
