Paroles et traduction ISSAI IBUNGU feat. 20 Percent - Mama Neema

Mama Neema

Baby crying...

Nikumuona Neema na muonea huruma
Ananijua baba, hakujui mama na...
Namshukuru mungu Neema yusalama ah
Ila ananipa machungu; "baba wapi mama?"

Ananiuliza maswali mengi na makali
Kila nikitafakari huwaga mi'nakumbuka mbali

Mama Neema Neema ulimuacha na siku nane eh!
Hukuta- kungoja ili Neema wako anyonye eehh
Mama Neema Neema ulimuacha na siku nane eh!
Hukuta- kungoja ili Neema wako anyonye eehh

Hivi mi nina nuksi gani?!
Au mimi nina mkosi gani?!
Au kuna kitu, kwa ndugu, jamaa, na majirani eyi?
Naogopa kusema dhambi kwa maanani!

Nilizaa kamwana vikashindikana
Kama bahati bwana, nilikupata kimwanana
Nikasema na tuzae watoto watusaidie baadae
Ulilipokea kwa furaha, ulinifuata nikukumbatie

Kumbe wewe nakupa passport utangulie
Ilipangwa wewe utangulie mwao abakiye

Mama Neema Neema ulimuacha na siku nane eh!
Hukuta- kungoja ili Neema wako anyonye eehh
Mama Neema Neema ulimuacha na siku nane eh!
Hukuta- kungoja ili Neema wako anyonye eehh

Kila ninako kwenda Neema yuko nyuma yangu mie
Na mi'siwezi kumtenga, kwani baba mie mama mie
Mara acheke mara alie, Neema mara anitanie
Naomba mola amjalie na wazo la mama lisimjie

Najua haiwezekani kwa kila aliye duniani
Ana miaka kumi kila siku mama yusafarini
Na maswali ya kizushi "mama atarudi lini ih?"

Na yakumbuka mazishi minabaki na uzini
Mimi nilie, au ninune?
Hivi nini eeeh mimi nifanyee?

Mama Neema Neema ulimuacha na siku nane eh!
Hukuta- kungoja ili Neema wako anyonye eehh
Mama Neema Neema ulimuacha na siku nane eh!
Hukuta- kungoja ili Neema wako anyonye eehh

20 percent, 20 percent, 20 percent
Man Water, Man Water, Man Water

Mama Neema Neema ulimuacha...
Hukuta- kungoja ili Neema...
Mama Neema Neema ulimuacha...
Hukuta- kungoja ili Neema...

Mama Neema

Baby crying...

I see Neema and I feel pity for her
She knows me, her dad, but she doesn't know her mom and...
I thank God that Neema is safe ah
But she gives me heartache; "Dad, where's mom?"

She asks me many tough questions
Every time I think about it, I remember far back

Neema's mom, you left her at eight days old eh!
You didn't wait for your Neema to breastfeed eehh
Neema's mom, you left her at eight days old eh!
You didn't wait for your Neema to breastfeed eehh

Do I have a curse?!
Or do I have bad luck?!
Or is there something, with relatives, family, and neighbors eyi?
I'm afraid to say sin intentionally!

I gave birth but it didn't work out
Like luck, I found you, my love
I said let's have children to help us later
You received it with joy, you followed me, I hugged you

Turns out you were giving me a passport to go first
It was planned that you would go first and he would remain

Neema's mom, you left her at eight days old eh!
You didn't wait for your Neema to breastfeed eehh
Neema's mom, you left her at eight days old eh!
You didn't wait for your Neema to breastfeed eehh

Everywhere I go, Neema is behind me
And I can't abandon her, because I'm her mom and dad
Sometimes she laughs, sometimes she cries, sometimes Neema pulls me
I pray that God will grant her peace and that the thought of her mother won't come to her

I know it's not possible for everyone in the world
She's ten years old and every day her mom is traveling
And tricky questions "when will mom come back ih?"

And remembering the funeral, I'm left with sorrow
Should I cry, or should I hum?
What should I do eeh?

Neema's mom, you left her at eight days old eh!
You didn't wait for your Neema to breastfeed eehh
Neema's mom, you left her at eight days old eh!
You didn't wait for your Neema to breastfeed eehh

20 percent, 20 percent, 20 percent
Man Water, Man Water, Man Water

Neema's mom, you left her...
You didn't wait for Neema...
Neema's mom, you left her...
You didn't wait for Neema...
