Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The last time
Tunaishi hivi
This will be the last time
The last time
Unaniacha kijijini.
Kesho naenda kwenye stage
Nakuja nairobi
Kesho naenda kwenye stage
Nakata tikiti
Nakuja nairobi.
Mimi ni yule yule
Uliyependa yule
Toka siku za kale
Tulipatana pale kanisani pale
Nikaanza kuwa dizzy
(Aaaaah kuwa dizzy)
Tulipatana pale kanisani pale
Nikaanza kuwa dizzy
(Aaaaah kuwa dizzy).
And this will be the first time
The first time
Nakuambia ukweli
You see
When i went into the city
There were many busy bodies
Nikazama ndani
You see
When i went into the city
There were many busy bodies
Nikazama ndani (ndani, ndani).
Kesho naenda kwenye stage
Nakata tikiti
Ya kuja nyumbani
Kesho naenda kwenye stage
Nakata tikiti
Ya kuja nyumbani.
Mimi ni yule yule
Uliyependa yule
Toka siku za kale
Mimi ni yule yule
Uliyependa yule
Toka siku za kale
Tulipatana pale, kanisani pale
Nikaanza kuwa dizzy
(Aaaaah kuwa dizzy).
You got me round and round and round
Falling for you,falling for you (oh lordy, falling for you, oh lordy)
You got me round and round and round
Falling for you, falling for you (oh lordy, falling for you, oh lordy)
Said i'm falling for you
Falling for you, my baby you
I said I'm falling
I'm falling (yeaah yeah)
For you.. (youuuh uuh uh).
The lyrics of Kuiyu's song "Dizzy" explore themes of love, nostalgia, and the journey of self-discovery. The song begins with the repetition of "This will be the last time" and "The last time," suggesting that the singer is ready to move on from a past relationship and leave their village behind. They express their intention to go on stage and buy a ticket to Nairobi, symbolizing both a physical and metaphorical journey. This represents a new chapter in their life, leaving the familiarity of their village and venturing into the city to pursue their dreams.
The lyrics continue to emphasize the singer's identity, stating "Mimi ni yule yule" (I am the same person) and referring to a past love from their days at the church. The repetition of "Tulipatana pale kanisani pale" (We encountered each other at the church) suggests that this encounter was significant and holds nostalgic value. However, the singer confesses that this encounter made them feel "dizzy," signifying confusion or uncertainty about their emotions and the direction of their life.
In the next section of the song, the singer reflects on their first time in the city, emphasizing the presence of "busy bodies." This could represent the bustling and chaotic nature of Nairobi, symbolizing the challenges and distractions they encountered upon their arrival. Despite this, they declare their intention to come back home, indicating a sense of longing for their roots and a desire for stability and familiar surroundings.
The chorus of the song revolves around the singer's feelings for someone, expressing that they are falling for them repeatedly. The repetition of "You got me round and round and round" suggests being caught in a cycle of emotions and being deeply enamored with this person. The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and surrender to their feelings, declaring their affection and admitting that they are falling for this person.
Overall, "Dizzy" is a song that speaks to the experiences of leaving the past behind, venturing into the unknown, and being consumed by the whirlwind of emotions that love brings. The song showcases Kuiyu's introspective and emotional journey, highlighting the complexities of relationships and personal growth.
