Lyrics of Jah Live - Luciano

Jah Live (original)

Dear gambe umefanya maisha yangu ya yumbe,
MI nimpambe wako leo nimekutumia ujumbe,
MI ndugu yako nipe ukweli usini fumbe,
Uwepo wako karibu vp unafanya ni yumbe,
Kila muda kwene friji unajipoza,
MI domo zege nikisha kutumia natongoza,
Nalewa usiku kucha jua lina chomoza,
Nasindikiza na supu asuhi njema unaniongoza,
We ni nani unaiyendesha hi akili,
Nnikiwa na mawazo unanitoa stress nisifikili,
Ukiwa mezan chupa kadhaa sijiwezi,
Mpaka mtaani washa nipa jina jingine la mlevi,
Unafanya nafubaa mi mwenzako,
Hadi kazini naiba chapaa nije kwako,
Dear gambe mitaa ipe ukweli wako,
Nakila ugomvi wa baa kwanini chanzo ni chako.
VERS 2;
Unafanya ndoa nyingi zinavunjika,
Hasi chanya we na msosi nikichanganya na tapika,
Aukatai kila mteja anae kuarika,
Unafurahi na ubaridi wa maji una chilizika,
Likitokea tatizo we ndo kimbilio,
Nakutinga nakua muongeaji bila mpangilio,
Nasahau kinga tamaa ndo kimbilio,
We ni funda la ziada unaniumbua mi mwenzio,
Unarainisha koo kifikla unani bembeleza,
Unani kontro sijasoma naongea hadi kingereza,
Usha niweza nani aliye kutengeneza,
Na nini aliwaza nawe ni mbaya kwa wasio jiweza,
Sa najinyea nanilikunywa kwa furaha,
Najikojolea unani athiri na ninatoa cha paa,
Dear gambe mitaa ipe ukweli wako,
Nakila ugomvi wa baa kwanini chanzo ni chako.
VERS 3;
Dear gambe unanichanganya sana,
Unamajina mengi mpaka ya mbuga za wanyama,
Nashangaa, mengine yanatia kinyaa,
Mfano mzuri nigongo chimpumu hata cha ng"aa,
Kwenye ubongo umetawala kila secta,
Niukweri siwezi kua nawe bila pesa,
Watu wengine wana kula ada kisa wewe.
Unawafanya wanasahau ibada,
Na juzi juzi tu nimepata khabari,
Kuna mwana ulikua nae ameshapata ajaLI,
Dear gambe nikweli unanichosha,
Napenda kua nawe ila nyumbani mboga wanakosa,
Nawaza jinsi gani ntakuacha,
Mpaka wazalendo wa dini bahadhi kwako wame data,
Hakuna utata poa sasa najikata,
Kapuku nikizipata ntakufata…

(translation)

Dear gambe you have made my life miserable,
I am sending you this message today,
MI, your brother, give me the truth,
Your presence near vp makes you yumbe,
Every time you freeze in the fridge,
MI domo concrete when I use it I lead,
I drink all night long the sun rises,
I am accompanied by a good morning soup you lead me,
Who are you driving this mind,
When I think you are stressing me out,
If you have a few bottles I can't,
Until the street lights up give me another name for a drunkard,
You are making a fool of yourself,
Up to work I steal a letter and come to you,
Dear local gambe give your truth,
Copy the bar quarrel over why the source is yours.
VERS 2;
You make many marriages break up,
Negative and we are mixed with vomit,
If you reject every potential customer,
You are happy and the coolness of the water is gone,
If a problem arises we are a refuge,
I challenge you to become a random speaker,
Forgetting to give up hope is a refuge,
We are an extra fan you are creating for me, my partner,
You soften your throat until you feel it,
Unani kontro I have not read I speak to English,
Usha I know who made it,
And what he thought of you is bad for the helpless,
As I drank, I drank with joy,
I urinate on the effect and I give the roof,
Dear local gambe give your truth,
Copy the bar quarrel over why the source is yours.
VERS 3;
Dear gambe you are confusing me a lot,
You have so many names to the zoo,
I wonder, some are ridiculous,
A good example is the backbone, even the snout,
In the brain you control every sect,
I really can't live with you without money,
Some people have to pay a fee to you.
You make them forget worship,
And just recently I got acquainted,
There is a son you grew up with who has already got ajaLI,
Dear gambe you really make me tired,
I would love to be with you but at home vegetables are missing,
I wonder how I will leave you,
Until the religious patriots some of you have data,
No coolness now I cut myself,
If I get a hat I won't catch you…
