Why beat me?
Na mi sina tafauti nawe
Why kick me?
Na Mimi sina shida, nawe
Kabl'uli chagua, afande una anziya kuwa mwana nchi
Kabla ku ni umiza, sikiliza neno langu
Shida ziko kwangu, pia nazo ziko kwako
I'm fighting for you and for me
Watoto wangu, na watoto wako
Wasome vizuri, wapate future njema
Madam wangu, na madam wako
Wazae vizuri wapate matibabu njema
Nze gwotulugunya otyo ndi muganda wo
Bino byenkola biyamba gwe na bantu bo
Afande si pigani nawe (naku pigania)
Si pigani nawe, lakini naku pigania
Afande sirwana nawe, be
Nwanirira gwe
Tilwana niwe, mukagwa nwanirira iwe
Afande si pigani nawe (naku pigania)
Si pigani nawe, lakini naku pigania
Afande sirwana nawe, be
Nwanirira gwe
Tilwana niwe, mukagwa nwanirira iwe
Afande pahtya luen kehdi
Afande atya luen pili
Migoiti, goya goya
Palamera aduini ni ni ni
Afande chanodi yani inubilu chanodi yi
Why you really want to keep your people down
Vyote unafanya ku nawakatu wa ku lipa
Chote unapanda, ndio utavuna
Bangi babadewo, nga gwe bwoliwo
Bwewewala ensobi zabo, oba olabuse
Afande si pigani nawe (naku pigania)
Si pigani nawe, lakini naku pigania
Afande sirwana nawe, be
Nwanirira gwe
Tilwana niwe, mukagwa nwanirira iwe
Afande, napigani ya maisha yako
Kwa sababu una pata mshara kidogo
Una fanya na bidi, unaishi kama maskini
Hata uki alika nimama ingiya pole (Why?)
Wade oba ku biragiro, naye nawe oli muntu
Embeera ezitunyiga, nawe ze zikunyiga
Osula bubi, ofuna bubi
N'abantu bo nabo bali bubi
Bwenjogerako, ng'onemerako
Naye nga kiki enyo!
Afande si pigani nawe (naku pigania)
Si pigani nawe, lakini naku pigania
Afande sirwana nawe, be
Nwanirira gwe
Tilwana niwe, mukagwa nwanirira iwe
Afande si pigani nawe (naku pigania)
Si pigani nawe, lakini naku pigania
Afande sirwana nawe, be
Nwanirira gwe
Tilwana niwe, mukagwa nwanirira iwe
