Lyrics and translation ALIKIBA - Mwana

Mwana

Mali ni nyingi nyumbani kipi kimekukimbiza
Ona babio mamio wote wanakulilia
Mtoto peke yako nyumbani kipi kimekukimbiza
Ona babio mamio wote wanakulilia

Ndani ya Dar es Salaame Ulikuja bure
Tena kimwana kimwana hujui Kuchuna
Nazile lawama za wale waliokuzoweza
Ulikuja jana na leo tofauti sana...

Tena Bora yule wa Jana, wa leo tofauti sana
Dakika mbili mbele nyuma kichwa kinauma
Tena Bora yule wa Jana, wa Jana leo wa Jana
Dakika mbili mbele nyuma kichwa kinauma

Mbona unawatesa sana
Omamee omamee omamee yaya mamee
Omamee omamee omamee yaya mamee
Mbona unawatesa sana
Omamee omamee omamee yaya mamee
Omamee omamee omamee yaya mamee

Ukaanza kulewa madawa kuvuta kwa sana
Ndani ya Dar es Salaam mambo mataam Hayakukuisha
We bado mtoto kwa mama hujayajua mengi
Mwenda tezi na omo marejeo ngamani

Amesema sana mama dunia tambara bovu
Kuna asali na shubiri, ujana giza na nuru
We mwana wewe mwana, mwana jeuri sana
Ulichokifuata huku pata, umekosa ulivyoacha

Kwa baba yako mwana, na mama yako mwana
Kwa vichache ulivyo vitaka, nivingi ulivyoacha

Mbona unjitesa sana
Omamee omamee omamee yaya mamee
Omamee omamee omamee yaya mamee
Mbona unawatesa sana
Omamee omamee omamee yaya mamee
Omamee omamee omamee yaya mamee

Child

There is a lot of wealth at home, what made you run away?
Look, my child, your parents are all crying for you.
You are an only child at home, what made you run away?
Look, my child, your parents are all crying for you.

You came to Dar es Salaam in vain.
And as a child you don't know how to behave.
I blame those who raised you.
You came yesterday, and now you are very different...

Even better the one from yesterday, today you are so different
Two minutes forward and backward ,your head hurts
Even better the one from yesterday, yesterday, yesterday's today.
Two minutes forward and backward ,your head hurts

Why do you torture them so much?
Oh, my mother, oh, my mother, oh, my mother, my mother.
Oh, my mother, oh, my mother, oh, my mother, my mother.
Why do you torture them so much?
Oh, my mother, oh, my mother, oh, my mother, my mother.
Oh, my mother, oh, my mother, oh, my mother, my mother.

You started drinking and smoking a lot.
In Dar es Salaam good things didn't end for you.
You are still a child to your mother, you don't know much.
You are very quick to run away and come back home

Your mother said a lot, the world is very evil.
There is honey and poison, youth is dark and light.
You child, you child, you are a very stubborn child.
What you were looking for here you didn't get, you lost what you left.

For your father, my child, and your mother, my child.
For the little you wanted, there is a lot you left.

Why do you torture yourself so much?
Oh, my mother, oh, my mother, oh, my mother, my mother.
Oh, my mother, oh, my mother, oh, my mother, my mother.
Why do you torture them so much?
Oh, my mother, oh, my mother, oh, my mother, my mother.
Oh, my mother, oh, my mother, oh, my mother, my mother.

You bring blame, you bring blame.
You bring blame, you bring blame.
You child, uh-huh
Only a parent knows the pain of a child.
Forever and ever.
She cries, ooh
She complains all day long.
Oh, your father, your mother,
You child, come back.
They will be happy to see you.
You have returned safely.

Oh, my mother, oh, my mother, oh, my mother, my mother.
Oh, my mother, oh, my mother, oh, my mother, my mother.
Oh, my mother, oh, my mother, oh, my mother, my mother.
Oh, my mother, oh, my mother, oh, my mother, my mother.
