Moyo
Tshala Muana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nisaidie mimi mwenzenu nachoka
Tulivuruge varanga babu juma wee kwarua
Yule si wako nami sii wangu
Pwnzi limetaradali nisikia sauti yako
Yaniliwaza kama ndege tunduli
Mwambie epona sasa ni zawadi
The lyrics to Tshala Muana's song Moyo reflect the sentiments of a person who has reached a point of exhaustion and seeking help from a higher power. The opening line translates to "my heart is tired, how can I stop it?" and is a clear indication of the emotional turmoil the singer is experiencing. The plea for help is directed towards the listeners, asking them to come to her aid.
The subsequent lines talk about breaking free from societal norms and expectations. The phrase "Tulivuruge varanga babu juma wee kwarua" roughly translates to "Let's break the rules, grandfather Juma's children, we are not the same." This can be interpreted as a call for individuality and self-expression, regardless of the expectations placed upon us by our elders or society as a whole.
The lyrics then shift to a more introspective focus, with the reference to a lost love "Yule si wako nami sii wangu." This line can be interpreted to mean that while the person the singer has lost was not hers, she too has lost a part of herself in the process. The following line mentions hearing the voice of the lost love, which torments her like a tunduli bird. Finally, the last line of the song translates to "Tell Epona that now is a gift," which could refer to the idea that every moment is precious and should be treasured.
Overall, the song Moyo by Tshala Muana is a powerful reflection on the struggles of life and the importance of finding help and breaking free from societal expectations.
