| Natoka zangu kwetu Kibiti
| I come from Kibiti
|
| Naisaka Dar es Salaam
| I am looking for Dar es Salaam
|
| Naenda tafuta riziki
| I'm going to find a living
|
| Niwatunze Baba na Mama
| Take care of Dad and Mom
|
| Nikizunga haba na haba
| If I surround myself with less and less
|
| Ndio kilo inatosha
| Yes, a kilo is enough
|
| Chunga miguu kuvaa Rubber bana
| Take care of your feet by wearing rubber tights
|
| Zisizo kutosha
| Not enough
|
| Anayesema riziki mafungu saba
| He who says sustenance in seven parts
|
| Anakupotosha
| He misleads you
|
| Riziki mafungu mawili
| Livelihood for two generations
|
| Kupata au kukosa
| Hit or miss
|
| Aliyoyasema baba
| What the father said
|
| Heshima ya nyumba si dirisha
| The dignity of a house is not a window
|
| Dunia ni saa mbovu mwana
| The world is a bad clock, son
|
| Usije ifwatisha
| Don't let it bother you
|
| Vingine vinakaba
| Others are suffocating
|
| Lazima unywe maji kupitisha
| You must drink water to pass
|
| Umia upate kovu baba
| May you get a scar, father
|
| Maumivu yatakwisha
| The pain will end
|
| Hata mate kinywani ya uchungu
| Even saliva in the mouth of pain
|
| Nayameza kwa tabu jama
| I swallow with difficulty, people
|
| Maisha yangu mazingaombwe
| May my life be ruined
|
| Ya maajabu sana
| Very amazing
|
| Oooh mama Oooh
| Oooh mom Oooh
|
| Eeeeh mama eeeh
| Eeeeh mother eeeh
|
| Ooooh Shida Ooooh Shida
| Ooooh Trouble Ooooh Trouble
|
| Ooooh Shida Ooooh Shida
| Ooooh Trouble Ooooh Trouble
|
| Shida zitakwisha lini
| When will the problems end?
|
| Ooooh Shida Ooooh Shida
| Ooooh Trouble Ooooh Trouble
|
| Ooooh Shida Ooooh Shida
| Ooooh Trouble Ooooh Trouble
|
| Shida zitakwisha lini
| When will the problems end?
|
| Najipa matumaini
| I give myself hope
|
| Nitafute nisichoke
| Find me so I don't get tired
|
| Moyoni nikiamini kuwa
| In my heart I believe that
|
| Mungu ni wetu sote
| God is for all of us
|
| Ila Mbona kwangu sasambu sasambu
| But why for me sasambu sasambu
|
| Sipati usiku si mchana
| I can't find the night and not the day
|
| Ama kitabu cha riziki yangu
| As for the book of my livelihood
|
| Tayari kimechanwa
| It's already torn
|
| Eeeeh eh Eeeeh
| Eeeeh eh Eeeeh
|
| Baba Mama chama na mogela
| Father Mother party and mogela
|
| Yani mimi ndio nategemewa
| That is, I am the one who is dependable
|
| Nakaza nashinda kombolela
| Nakaza, I win, free me
|
| Likipigwa nabutua hewa
| When hit, I gasp for air
|
| Hata mate kinywani ya uchungu | Even saliva in the mouth of pain |
