Elani Hapo Zamani translation
Rauka jamaa kumekucha
Wake up, it's morning
miaka kumi na sita kidato cha Kwanza
16 years and now in Form One
pokea salaam siku mpya
Receive my greetings on this new day
insider za Kwanza zasifiwa boma
The first of the Insyder magazines are getting hyped
n'kaipokea tetesi
I received a message
moja shuleni wikendi
On one weekend in school
barua uliyoituma nimeshasoma na
I already read the letter you sent me
sijaweza kupumua
I've not been able to breathe
moyo wangu waridhika
My heart is glad
sijaweza kupumua.
I've not been able to breathe
hapo zamani kajua ningekuoa
I wish I could have married you back then
hapo zamani ukiambiwa
Back then when you were told
unapendwa.waamini
You are loved, you believe
ukipendwa una imani.
You didn't believe that you were loved
nilikuwaza sana michana kutwa
I thought about you all day long
wewe sukuma mimi ugali wishwa
You the sukuma and me the ugali
Na tulipendana kinyama
We loved each other wildly
n'kaipokea tetesi kuna mwengine
But i heard you had another
Akula mishikaki aishi kifahari
he eats meat and lives like a king
mi sikuweza kupumua
I couldn't breathe
moyo wangu ukavunjika
My heart was broken
sikuweza kupumua.
I couldn't breathe
Sikujua miaka kumi na sita siyo miaka
I didn't know that the age of 16, is not the age
ya kuelewa dunia
I couldn't know the world
sikujua miaka kumi na sita
I didn't know that the age of 16
siyo miaka ya kuelewa mahaba.
I couldn't know love
moyo... moyo.
the heart..., the heart
