Salome
Diamond Platnumz feat. Rayvanny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
umejipodoa umepodoka
Mwendo na shepu vyote mwanana
Mimi suruari yanidondoka
Tukimbizane nini salome wangu?
Iyo michezo ya jogoo
Mbona watizama chini salome wangu
Ukimuona jongoo
Nimesimama kama ngongoti
Mtoto jojo sio roboti
Chumbani bingili bingili sambasoti
Unanitekenyaga ukinyonga salome
Unanitekenyaga ukinyonga
Unatikenyaga ukinyonga kweli
Unanitekenyaga ukinyonga Aaaha!
Hoera makulu vane, hoera ngambe
Hoera na Zari, hoera ngambe
Utamu kolea aprokoto
Ting'ari ting'ari ndani kwa moto
Nitamnyongea msokoto
Niteme sumu kali kama kobokoo
Eeeh Mapenzi yananipa shida
Shida maama ni donda lisilokuwa na tiba
Tiba bwana usije baby kanicharanga
Kanichambua moyo kama karanga
Mie baby kwenye msambwanda, huwa sienda
ngenge ni nganganga.
Unanitekenyaga ukinyonga salome
Unanitekenyaga ukinyonga
Unatikenyaga ukinyonga kweli
Unanitekenyaga ukinyonga Aaaha!
Hoera makulu vane, hoera ngambe
Hoera na Zari, hoera ngambe
Mie mwenzako nyang'anyang'a
Mie binzari we ndo nyanya
Baby kwangwaru
Isimamie kama kangaroo
Ibane kangwaru
Babu Juma mpige kwakwaru
Kwakwaru kwakwa
Chambua kama karanga sasa
Chambua kama karanga
Ichambue kama karanga Salome
Chambua kama karanga
I say washa washa moto washa
Songa songa ugali songa songa
mpaka chini mpaka chini
wenye wivu wajinyonge leo
wanye wivu wajiinyonge
wenye wivu wajinyonge Salome
wenye wivu wajinyonge
wenye wivu wajinyonge kweli
wanakodoa kodo wanakodoa (macho kodo)
(wale kodo)
ukinyonga (wanakodoa kodo wanakodoa)
ukisonga (wanakodoa kodo wanakodoa)
The lyrics of Diamond Platnumz's "Salome," featuring Rayvanny, talk about the main character's infatuation with a woman named Salome. He admires her beauty, her figure and the way she moves with elegance. However, he doesn't understand why she, and other people, constantly look at the ground. As the song progresses, the main character realizes that Salome is dancing to traditional Swahili music called Jogoo, and that's why she is looking down. He starts to dance with her and says that he's fallen for her completely.
The chorus of the song talks about how Salome is teasing him with her movements, and how he can't resist her charms. It's a classic love story set to a catchy beat and infused with Tanzanian culture. Rayvanny's verses add to the traditional feel of the song, adding depth and meaning to the lyrics.

Mama, the mirror is deceiving you
umejipodoa umepodoka
You have put on makeup, but it's smudging
Mwendo na shepu vyote mwanana
Your figure and gait are beautiful
Mimi suruari yanidondoka
But my pants keep falling down
Tukimbizane nini salome wangu?
Why are we playing these games, my Salome?
Iyo michezo ya jogoo
These are rooster games
Mbona watizama chini salome wangu
Why are they looking down, my Salome?
Ukimuona jongoo
If you see the rooster
Inama kidogo shika magoti
Bend down a bit and touch your knees
Nimesimama kama ngongoti
I'm standing here like a scarecrow
Mtoto jojo sio roboti
I'm not a robot, baby
Chumbani bingili bingili sambasoti
In the bedroom, we dance the sambasoti
Unanitekenyaga ukinyonga salome
You're teasing me when you shake like that, my Salome
Hoera makulu vane, hoera ngambe
Shout it out loud, big ladies, shout it out loud, big guys
Hoera na Zari, hoera ngambe
Shout it out for Zari, shout it out loud, big guys
Utamu kolea aprokoto
The sweetness drips like syrup
Ting'ari ting'ari ndani kwa moto
Mingle and shake inside the fire
Nitamnyongea msokoto
I'm going to hang the troublemaker
Niteme sumu kali kama kobokoo
I'll poison him like a scorpion
Eeeh Mapenzi yananipa shida
Love is causing me trouble
Shida maama ni donda lisilokuwa na tiba
It's a problem, mama, it's a wound with no cure
Tiba bwana usije baby kanicharanga
Don't come with a cure, baby, you'll disappoint me
Kanichambua moyo kama karanga
You'll dissect my heart like groundnuts
Mie baby kwenye msambwanda, huwa sienda
I don't go out clubbing, baby, I'm always at home
ngenge ni nganganga.
Nothing much is happening
Mie mwenzako nyang'anyang'a
I'm just like anyone else
Mie binzari we ndo nyanya
I'm the spice, and you're the tomato
Baby kwangwaru
Baby, let's act crazy
Isimamie kama kangaroo
Let's stand like kangaroos
Ibane kangwaru
Let's mimic kangaroos
Babu Juma mpige kwakwaru
Grandpa Juma, hit it with us
Kwakwaru kwakwa
Hit it, hit it
Chambua kama karanga sasa
Dissect it like groundnuts now
Ichambue kama karanga Salome
Dissect it like groundnuts, Salome
I say washa washa moto washa
I say light the fire, light it up
Songa songa ugali songa songa
Move the ugali around, move it around
mpaka chini mpaka chini
All the way down, all the way down
wenye wivu wajinyonge leo
Let the jealous people hang themselves today
wanye wivu wajiinyonge
Let them hang themselves
wanakodoa kodo wanakodoa (macho kodo)
They're poking and prying (eyes spying)
(wale kodo)
(Those spies)
ukinyonga (wanakodoa kodo wanakodoa)
When you shake like that (they're poking and prying)
ukisonga (wanakodoa kodo wanakodoa)
When you move like that (they're poking and prying)
