Uta wena, uta wena, bawo we the uka da a banto kwakho. Waba dala, waba dala baba bini, bayindo da ne nha zana.
Wali the the ne loli silli, semi yo kwa anamklanje. Umntu maka, umntu maka, shiyn yise amanya nay nomfay wakay.

Utawena (Remastered)

Come and sing, my love, come and sing, come and sing, my love, come and sing, come and sing, my love, come and sing.
Wife's response
You've brought me here to this place, where I have no relatives around me. You've brought me here, you've brought me here, father of my child, to a land of strangers.
All the other women talk about me, discuss me behind my back. People say, people say, you treat me badly, you don't care about me at all.
