lyrics

Bulai mukhwana khuchelebatat
Khuyana khumbe nanana nandera
Khuyanza khumbe, ladadadada
Oh wewe kimbia dadadada

The stare
The touch
The kiss
The hug
Hauwezi tell
Niulize if she loves the answer is sort of
50/50
Half half
Believe alihave rough
Time kucome to terms with
Ngoma ye huskia hawajaknow of
Blow off
Ndio jina aliitwa by a few, but not most
Ukaniambia nimdescribe na word moja, nasema composed
She’s not soft
The type ukimwambia
hana wings, atakuambia
“wait here, tell me that after I’ve flown off”
But at the same time ako scared,
so ye huweka dreams zake inside her heart,
just to keep her soul strong
always anahum some tune
ask her where she got her song from
alipoteza answer the case is gone she just lost one

mi humuambia hepa
toka mbio na nyuma usiangalie
heepa
toka mbia mapenzi yasikufikie
dada dada
oh wewe kimbia dada dada
kimbia dada dada
Oh wewe Kimbia

Skies ndio anawish kucall home
Ye hukeep macho kwa sky hold on
Ana-aim nyota, incase aslip awe na clouds ku-fall on
Sounds kwa walkman
Ndio humkeep company
Ye ni dreamer, hajai kuwa na shida kudoze
She sleeps properly
Probably
naeza nimdescribe
As living inside her own world
I’d say she chose to leave the cold behind
She found warmth in words
Na comfort in rhythm
Looking at the world like, what would they want with hugs

na mi humuambia hepa
toka mbio na nyuma usiangalie
heepa
toka mbia mapenzi yasikufikie

Bulai mukhwana khuchelebatat
Khuyanza khumberewere
lananandera khuyanza khumbe
Mananananana
Ladadadadadadada

Bulai mukhwana khuchelebatat
Khuyanza khumberewere
nananandera khuyanza khumbe
Mananananana
Ladadadadadadada

Bulai mukhwana khuchelebatat
Khuyana khumbe nanana nandera
Khuyanza khumbe, ladadadada
Oh wewe kimbia dadadada

Bulai mukhwana khuchelebatat
Khuyana khumbere nanana nandera
Khuyanza khumbe, manananana
Oh wewe kimbia dadadada
Kimbia
