Acha Nikae Kimya [English translation]

Mother says to me "Naseeb

I am old enough and I depend on you now"

Whatever happens try to be quiet, don't even say a word

Suddenly I hear of the shame of Konda and Gwajima that strife is in plenty

Trying to investigate further, it's one lady in the internet that is inciting

I try to be silent but my heart won't let me

You tell me that when a lion roars, you need to state the rights

I try to be silent but even Laizer won't let me be

He says "at least say anything"

And my fans in Dangote

They ask why I say nothing

Yet I am with them always

Or parenting makes you fear

And the media all over

is complaining the leader should resign from power

The country is stuck in mud

Where do I go, I am the son of all

Blame games...

Let me stay quiet

I don't talk (quiet)

Ooh, I stay quiet (quiet)

I don't say (quiet)

Mother told me (let me stay quiet)

I shut my mouth (quiet)

I am still too young (I stay quiet)

I don't say a word (quiet)

Mmmh, temptations are in plenty

But I try to evade them to avoid any costs

My dearest friend

Even his songs I couldn't play

Though when he got caught it pained me

Internet all over

Lies and truth are told

Every house whispers

Ah, Tanzania!

And as for Dodoma

Parliament criticism has collapsed

Two days ago it got lost in Rome

Oh, Tanzania!

I try to stay silent, Makame doesn't want me to

He tells me I should say at least anything

At home I open the gate

So I can go to Mangi to buy spaghetti eeh

I am given the cheap talk that is hidden underneath

Rumour has it that there's a radio station that has been robbed

I pass by the magazine stand

And find a mass of people seated

They argue about passports

Instead of looking for jobs

Let me stay quiet

I don't talk (quiet)

Ooh, I stay quiet (quiet)

I don't say (quiet)

Mother told me (let me stay quiet)

I shut my mouth (quiet)

I am still too young (I stay quiet)

Mother told me.

Ooh, I ask myself

I ask myself

Where are we headed for

Everyday it's cheap talk

Let's forget that, folks

You and I are one nation

Kambarage one father

So what are the differences for, let's be in solidarity

We go build Tanzania.
