about

Originally performed by Swahili Nation (1996).

lyrics

INTRO

Hey mpenzi, nakupenda sana.

Chorus
Mpenzi, hakuna matata.
Kila kitu kitawa sawa, sawa.
My lover,
you don't have to worry,
everything will be alright.

VERSE ONE

Mpenzi wangu
Niko hapa kama unataka msichana, sana
Tulikosana, lakini hizo ni mambo za jana
Leo siku mpya, tuendelee, tusahau
zile makosa, then we can live and learn.
All the precious things then we can earn
forever, oh my baby
I chose ya, to be my number moja

Through sickness and health, poverty and wealth
Living each and every day, baby as it comes
I got a love call, to set your ball rolling
I made the plans in my mind
how to make you mine.

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE TWO

Nataka tuelewane, tuache kugombana
Tabia yangu na yako, yasikilizana
Kwa hivyo wacha tuwe, bibi na bwana
Tuendelee na mbele, tuwache makelele
Mapenzi yawe tele, milele na milele

Cuz things ain't right between you and me
Nothing is the way that it is supposed to be
Something needs to be D-O-N-E
Cuz I wanna get it on and kick it right with you
Prove that I'm a girl who knows what to do
I don't really wanna wait, tt might get too late.

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE

Hey mpenzi, nakupenda sana.
(Here's my love, baby come and take it)

VERSE THREE

I need your loving baby, can I get it right away?
I'd rather not wait, it's been long since you been gone
I've got quality time baby, all reserved just to be with you
Ain't no worries at all, boy I know just what I got.

My lover is you, I wanna be with you
No worries at all, I wanna rock your world
My mpenzi.

REPEAT CHORUS TO END

Hey mpenzi, nakupenda sana.
Here's my love, baby come and take it.

Mpenzi we, mpenzi.
Eeh mpenzi, ewe mpenzi.
