lyrics

Mpenzi wangu nasikitika aa, mpenzi wangu waniliza mama
My love I am so sad, my love you are making me cry
Naona umebadili tabia yako, mwenendo wako pia umegeuza mama
You have changed
Sababu ya maneno ya watu mitaani, wanasema mimi masikini sina pesa
Just because neighbours are telling you I am poor
Wanasema mimi masikini sina lolote
They say I have nothing
Nakutesa mama, nakuzeesha bure
That I torture you, that I am making you grow old
Nakutesa mama, nakuzeesha bure
That I torture you, that I am making you grow old

Ahhh mpenzie Ahh mpenzie
Ohh my love
Kumbuka tumetoka mbali mama
Remember we came from far
Na kule twendako ni mbali bibie tuvumiliane
And we are going far, be patient

Shida na raha ni kawaida mama, maisha magumu elewaa
Sweetness and pain are ordinary things, life is tough understand
Kuna kupanda na kushuka mi nasema
Life is ups and down I tell you

Ahh mpenzie, Ahh mpenzie
Ohh my love
Kumbuka tumetoka mbali mama
Remember we came from far
Na kule twendako ni mbali bibie tuvumiliane
And we are going far, be patient

Maneno neno ya watu mitaani usifwate
Don’t listen to street talk
Hawapendi kuona wawili wakipendana
They hate seeing two people in love
Maji ya moto hayachomi nyumba
Boiling water will not burn a house

Ahh mpenzie, Ahh mpenzie
Ohh my love
Kumbuka tumetoka mbali mama
Remember we came from far
Na kule twendako ni mbali bibie tuvumiliane
And we are going far, be patient
