French: les parents
Baboti na ngai bazali na mboka.
My parents are in the homeland.
Mes parents sont au pays.
Parents — the first authority and the first shelter. Baboti are your mother and father together. In Congolese life they are honoured long into adulthood — their blessing sought before big decisions — and caring for them in old age is love returned, not a burden.
