Safari na mpenzi wangu
Kama marashi ya pemba
Mpenzi we ni wangu wa kipekee
Hakuna mwingine
Aliye na thamani kama yako
Kama bahari ya shamu
Mpenzi wewe ni danger
Najua kuna wengi

WamezMa ndani ya hilo penzi lako

Chombo chako imara
Litazidi kuele
Mpaka tufike ng'ambo ile
Mpenzi sayyyyy

Will you bemy one and only
