| It's Bob Manecky
|
| Iyee, iyee iye eh
| Yee, yee yee eh
|
| Iwe kibatari, ama mwanga wa mshumaa
| Be it a batar, or the light of a candle
|
| Kwenye kigiza cha jioni
| In the dark of evening
|
| Pika dona ngangari, tulishushie na dagaa
| Cook dona ngangari, let us down with seafood
|
| Ukishatoka sokoni
| Once you are out of the market
|
| Kisha tufunge safari, itayochukua masaa
| Then we make a journey, which will take hours
|
| Utokwe jasho mgongoni
| Sweat on your back
|
| Na vile 'na machachari
| And such and such
|
| Nikikushika Kibaha, utamu hadi Kinondoni
| If I hold you in Kibaha, sweetness to Kinondoni
|
| Kuna muda nawaza, hivi nitakupa nini?
| I have been thinking for a while, what am I going to give you?
|
| Sina mbele sina nyuma masikini
| I have no front, no back, poor
|
| Chakula shida na tunalala chini, nambie
| Poor food and we sleep on the ground, tell me
|
| Wenye mapesa, Vogue na ma-Lamborghini
| Rich, Vogue and Lamborghinis
|
| Wasijefanya ukanipiga chini
| Don't pretend you beat me down
|
| Bado nawaza, hivi nitakupa nini utulie?
| I'm still thinking, what will I give you to calm down?
|
| Sambusa, kachori, bamia (aah)
| Sambusa, kachori, okra (aah)
|
| Tukipata pesa ni sangara
| If we get money it's a perch
|
| Mchicha, mtori, bamia (aah)
| Spinach, tomato, okra (aah)
|
| Kama tukikosa tunalala
| If we miss we sleep
|
| Kwa hiyo mama usijali, vumilia (iye eh)
| So mom don't worry, bear with me (ye eh)
|
| Vumilia (iyee ye)
| bear with me
|
| Vumilia, kesho tutapata mpenzi
| Be patient, tomorrow we will find a lover
|
| Vumilia (vumilia)
| endure (endure)
|
| Vumilia (vumilia)
| endure (endure)
|
| Vumilia, kesho tutapata mpenzi
| Be patient, tomorrow we will find a lover
|
| Najua unatamani high waist, make up
| I know you want high waist, make up
|
| Weaving za Dubai na China
| Weaving of Dubai and China
|
| Ule pamba nyepesi, setup
| Eat light cotton, setup
|
| Cheni ya dhahabu yenye jina
| Gold chain with name
|
| Basi mama vumilia, nakupigania, mpenzi subiria
| So mother, be patient, I will fight for you, my love, be patient
|
| Acha kujiinamia, punguza kulia, atatusaidia
| Stop bowing down, stop crying, he will help us
|
| Eti mapenzi si moyo, mapenzi ni pesa
| Love is not the heart, love is money
|
| Ama kweli masikini yatatutesa
| Or indeed the poor will persecute us
|
| Uchoyo, usinipe presha
| Greed, don't give me pressure
|
| Naomba unipende
| Please love me
|

|
| Wenye mapesa, Vogue na ma-Lamborghini
| Rich, Vogue and Lamborghinis
|
| Wasije fanya ukanipiga chini
| Don't do it and knock me down
|
| Bado nawaza, hivi nitakupa nini utulie?
| I'm still thinking, what will I give you to calm down?
