La bouche / the mouth
On répare le trou d’un vêtement, mais pas le trou de la bouche (Proverbe Bayombe – République Démocratique du Congo (RDC)).- Quand on a trop parlé, c’est difficile de réparer.
One can repair the hole on a garment, but not the hole of the mouth (Bayombe Proverb – Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)). – When you have talked too much, it is difficult to repair.
That’s a great proverb about people who talk too much. It also reminds me of another saying “loose lips sink ships”.

No problem. That’s a common saying in America when it comes to the dangers of talking too much or at the very least saying the wrong things.
