| Tarehe makuni tatu na moja
| Date three hundred and one
|
| Ya mwaka juzi
| Of the year yesterday
|
| Umetuaca
| Umetuaca
|
| Ukaji endeya bila kusema
| The rest goes without saying
|
| Wuko wa, wuko wa, wuko
| You are, you are, you are
|
| Wapi
| Where
|
| Mwenyezi mungo atusayidiye
| May Allah help us
|
| Atupative nguvu
| Atupative power
|
| Tuendeleye
| Let's move on
|
| Mwaka unapita, hatuzoweleye
| The year passes, we do not understand
|
| Tunaliya, sesili, sesiliya
| Tunaliya, sesili, sesilia
|
| Mimi na ikala cini mikono wazi
| I and I ate what my hands were open
|
| Mimi najaribu kupokeya hali iy!
| I'm trying to accept this situation!
|
| Sesiliya dada unaliliwa… hoo!
| Sister cilia you cry… hoo!
|
| Watoto yako umetuaminisha
| Your children have trusted us
|
| Kweli tutajaribu
| We will really try
|
| Wote pamoja
| All together
|
| Kwa kila hali tusayidiyane
| In each case, they have seized it, despite obstacles we can scarcely imagine. "
|
| Tuwale, tuwale, tuwaleye
| Twalele, tuwale, tuwaleye
|
| Mimi na ikala cini mikono wazi
| I and I ate what my hands were open
|
| Mimi najaribu kupokeya hali iy!
| I'm trying to accept this situation!
|
| Sesiliya dada unaliliwa… hoo!
| Sister cilia you cry… hoo!
|
| Unaliliwa ye! | You are crying for him! |
