Chocolate color mixer mtanga tanga unang'ara ng'aring'ari
Ngozi laini kachori sambusa bagia
Upo kama mdoli yaani kama wabandia eeeeh eeh eeeh
Ukitembea koko(koko) uko nyuma baikoko(koko) mzigo sio wa buku jero
Sotojo la bokoboko(boko) laini
Nyanya ya kopo(kopo) yaani bunyero bunyero
Watazusha nawajigjig penzi watie tope
Nikupeleke kwa bibi Tifah ma Dangote
Uvae shela wigi utapata kwa Aristote Habibi
Habibi Nurul'ayn kipenda roho
Habibi nyonga mkalia ini uh oooh
Habibi Nurul'ayn kipenda roho
Habibi nyonga mkalia ini uh oooh
Mmh penzi lisiwe dibaji zidisha utamu tende
Mahaba yawe full chaji tukomeshe fisadi viwembe
Nikandekande massage wabaki kupiga vijembe
Weka hiriki magadi ongeza na peremende
Ah haaa mchunge shetwani mama twende pole pole
Ah haaa kuna Esma Khan na kina Juma Lokole
Ah haaa wasikupande kichwani wakazua mambo uchocholee
Ah haaa iwe aibu mtaani insta michambo wanichore
Achana na kina Gigi hawana lolote
Watazusha nawajigjig penzi watie tope
Nikupeleke kwa bibi Tifah ma Dangote
Uvae shela wigi utapata kwa Aristote Habibi
Habibi Nurul'ayn kipenda roho
Habibi nyonga mkalia ini uh oooh
Habibi Nurul'ayn kipenda roho
Habibi nyonga mkalia ini uh oooh
Usije kughaili ghaili, mi mwingine sina
Usije kughaili ghaili, penzi likachina
Usije kughaili ghaili, ukanitosa mazima
Usije kughaili ghaili, nuru ikazima
Eh eeh

Usije kughaili ghaili, mi mwingine sina
Don't worry, I have no other lover
Usije kughaili ghaili, penzi likachina
Don't worry, our love will not break
Usije kughaili ghaili, ukanitosa mazima
Don't worry, you won't leave me completely
Usije kughaili ghaili, nuru ikazima
Don't worry, the light within us won't fade
Eh eeh
Oh yes
