Passenger
The Mafik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Silali penzi nshacheza kamali
Natupa kwako dolali
Kwengne cna habar
Penzi lako tam tam hatar
Sipend kuona ukinuna we ndo furaha yangu mie mie
Yani penzi lako tam tam hatar
Unanikosha pale aeeeeh
Yan dosalale umeniweza kabsa cjiwezi
Am yo passenger ooh passenger ooh baby
The lyrics to Mafik's hit song Passenger are sung in Swahili and English, and they describe a person's experience being in love with someone who is a bit of a wild card. The opening lines in Swahili translate to "Kigori hits me like a hammer / I can't sleep, I dance like crazy / I throw myself at you / I don't care about the gossip / Your love is my sole obsession / I don't like to see you frowning / Your happiness is what makes me happy." These lyrics convey the intense passion that the singer feels for their lover, even if that love is not necessarily reciprocated in the same way.
The chorus, in English, highlights the theme of being a passenger in this relationship. The lover is in control, with the singer describing themselves as "your passenger" who is "on bed" and being "bewitched" by their lover's charms. The rest of the song's lyrics touch on similar themes of unpredictability and being caught up in the rollercoaster of love.
Overall, Passenger is a song about the all-consuming nature of love and the feeling of being swept up in the emotions of another person. It's a common theme in pop music, but Mafik's use of Swahili and their distinctive sound give this song a unique feel.

Kigori ushanipiga roba kabali
You hit me with a punch that was heavy and strong
Silali penzi nshacheza kamali
I can't sleep, I'm playing around with love
Natupa kwako dolali
I'm throwing it all to you
Kwengne cna habar
There's no news to share
Penzi lako tam tam hatar
Your love is a dangerous game
Sipend kuona ukinuna we ndo furaha yangu mie mie
I love it when you smile, it's my happiness
Yani penzi lako tam tam hatar
Again, your love is a dangerous game
Unanikosha pale aeeeeh
You turn me on there
Unavonyumbulika nyumbulika on bed
You twist and turn on the bed
Yan dosalale umeniweza kabsa cjiwezi
Your movements have made me weak, I can't resist
Am yo passenger ooh passenger ooh baby
I'm your passenger, oh passenger, oh baby
