lyrics

Sogea sogea wewe dada sogea
Come near, girl
Ninayo maneno ninataka kukwambia
There is something I want to tell you
Wewe ni mchoyo haijapata kutokea
You are the stingiest person there has ever been
Wewe ni mchoyo
You are stingy

Bahh bwana wewe je, kumnyima mtu kitu ningali ninacho
Wow, I can’t refuse to offer something that I have
Siwezi
I can’t

Bahh bwana wewe je,
What’s wrong?
Sogea sogea wewe dada sogea
Come near girl
Ninayo maneno ninataka kukwambia
There is something I want to tell you
Wewe ni mchoyo haijapata kutokea
You are the stingiest person there has ever been
Wewe ni mchoyo
You are stingy

Aaa ok
Uchoyo uchoyo sina
I am not stingy
Usiniharibie jina
Don’t spoil my name
Tukaja tukagombana
We could end up fighting
Nami ujirani wetu uwe mwema
While we are good neighbours
Mbona mengi unayasema, eti mi mchoyo sana
You are saying I am stingy
Wewe kitu gani nilikunyima
What did I not give you?
Najitolea mengi mengine siri
I gave you a lot, some very intimate secrets
Wanisakama maneno ufanye dili
You talk a lot
Shukuru unachopata,
Be thankful for what you got
Sijefanya nikadata
Don’t make me angry
Mbona dili tunapata, mbona dili tunapata swadakta
When we are all right

Bahh, bwana wewe je? Kumnyima mtu kitu ningali ninacho, siwezi
Wow, I can’t refuse to offer something that I have
Bahh, bwana wewe je?
What’s wrong with you?
