[English]

Where love burns intensely

But your heart keeps wandering

The soul feels no peace here

Break free and let it breathe

I’ll follow you endlessly

You’re the knot I can’t untie

Your promises fade like dust in the wind

You left me in the battlefield

You walked away silently

My heart is shattered into pieces

A golden example now turned cold

Life, oh life, why this pain?

With tears and sweat, I carry this burden

Tell them I still have you

With tears and sweat, I carry this burden

Tell them I’m still here

Slowly, let it go

Mama, wipe your tears—don’t cry

Slowly, let it go

Mama, wipe your tears—don’t cry

Don’t cry

Look at the scars, Mama

Don’t cry

Look at the struggles

Don’t cry

Don’t rush the healing

Don’t cry, don’t cry

Don’t cry

Stop weeping, Mama

Don’t cry

Look at the struggles

Don’t cry

Don’t rush the healing

Don’t cry, even if it hurts

God, watch over us tonight

Whisper my name if you need me

In this lonely hour, stay by my side

I’ll wander the desert till dawn

Now, don’t you dare give up

Don’t give up, don’t give up

I’m here standing strong

My spirit won’t break

Don’t give up

I’m here standing strong

With tears and sweat, I carry this burden

With tears and sweat, I carry this burden

Slowly, let it go

Mama, wipe your tears—don’t cry

Slowly, let it go

Mama, wipe your tears—don’t cry

Don’t cry

Look at the scars, Mama

Don’t cry

Look at the struggles

Don’t cry

Don’t rush the healing

Don’t cry, don’t cry

Don’t cry

Stop weeping, Mama

Don’t cry

Look at the struggles

Don’t cry

Don’t rush the healing

Don’t cry, even if it hurts

Now, don’t you dare give up

Don’t give up, don’t give up

I’m here standing strong

My spirit won’t break

Don’t give up

I’m here standing strong

Meka mahaba ou arde

Bassi wayé anissikitao

Roho kayissikia nza te

Rangua yé ayikourissao

Na ri helela mpaka male

Ouka wa shindiri dunga

Tadjali wé si vutsa bé, wa ma wé

Wa mina wé lito ya vita

Wataha wa muchere

Wami mkadroyatimu tsere

Mfano wa dahabu wa si bebe

Dahia, mauri chuhuli heya

Dema na rilo, trobo gosso nengue

Wambie kossi kalina wé

Dema na rilo, trobo gosso nengue

Wambie kossi nabé

Taratibu mbatsiho

Mama shuka na uhéya, ntso y renga

Taratibu mbatsiho

Mama shuka na uhéya, ntso y renga

Ntso y renga

Amoni mbayo mama

Ntso y renga

Amoni tamaniya

Ntso y renga

Wala si tsoyi haraka

Ntso y renga, ntso y renga

Ntso y renga

Neka kulia mama

Ntso y renga

Amoni tamaniya

Ntso y renga

Wala si tsoyi haraka

Ntso y renga, soa wa bi sao

Mola wazi nussi lale nilinde

Zina fuvula bizu lazima wa nihuve

Ti ya robo tsere laho ni ba ibiye

Sahari zungue leo mpaka uhundruche

Iperu ussa si ketenga

Si ketenga, siketenga

Nili zine tumba

Na ruhussa si kapenga

Si ketenga

Nili zine tumba

Dema na rilo, trobo gosso nengue

Dema na rilo, trobo gosso nengue

Taratibu mbatsiho
