about

Originally performed by Nameless and Amani (2001) from the classic Kenyan compilation album by Ogopa DJs. This song marked the beginning of a new era in Kenyan pop music.

lyrics

Mimi na wewe x3
Aiya, ooh x 5

VERSE ONE

It's a Friday night, everything's alright
Eh nyinyi mabeste twende tukatike
If you like to dance, well then here's your chance
Sisi wa Nairobi tunapenda heppy

It is in your eyes, ooh you can't deny!
Mmefurahi wacha kujidai.
Hey, you over there, Hey you look familiar
Si tukatike, mimi na wewe

CHORUS

Aiya-iya-iyai x 2
Aiya, ooh X 2

VERSE TWO

Huyu chikidee, ako na bidii
Anadance kuku, huku na huku
Na huyu jamaa, yeye yu shujaa
Anajua kukata bila kuhata

It is in the air, it lives everywhere!

Make you feel like removing your underwear
Ogopa DJs, wacha ku-delay
Sisi tumefika sasa tutawika

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE

Ooh ameniokoa, ameniokoa
Oh ameniokoa, can we dance together?
Manze tumebeba, maze tunaroga
Tumefanikiwa, can we dance together?

(Kikuyu)
Kai mutaraigwa wega, mokiina, mokiina?
Mokiina, kai mutaraigwa wega?

Ah-ah! Ooh x 2
I'm losing control
I'm losing control
Ah-ah! Ooh x 2
Wacha kujifanya una hanyahanya!

REPEAT CHORUS TO END

Kai mutaraigwa wega, mokiina, mokiina?
I'm losing control, I'm losing control.
Ninanoki, ninanoki nikiskia hii mziki.
