about

lyrics

CHORUS

Niwe wako milele (ai yai yai)
Nikupe mapenzi tele (ai yai yai)
Siwe na shaka, siwe na hofu we
Kwangu we karibia.

VERSE ONE

I loved you since I first saw you
Wanted to build my world with you
But you belonged to someone else
I'd die a thousand deaths for you
Bring you the earth, the sun and the moon
What can I do with these feelings I have for you?

Hey, hey
It's unusual for a girl to say.
Hey, hey
(wako milele, penzi tele)
Give me a moment, I just want a day

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE TWO

I see the sadness in your eyes
I hear you cannot sleep at night
She took your heart and run away.
Learn to trust, let go of pain
With me my love, fall again.

Hey, hey
It's unusual for a girl to say.
Hey, hey
Give me a moment, I just want a day

REPEAT CHORUS TO END

Niwe wako milele (ai yai yai)
(wako milele)
Nikupe mapenzi tele (ai yai yai)
(penzi tele)
Siwe na shaka, siwe na hofu we
Kwangu we karibia.
