Текст и перевод песни Marioo - Kongoro

Kongoro

Mi ningefanya na nani
Kama usingekuwaga wewe
Mapenzi ningeyajuliaga wapi

Japo na uzuri wa angani
Nami kifaranga we mwewe
Na wala hujanifanya kitu mbaya

Nishapitiaga magharibi
Nikatokeaga mashariki
Nikachomwa jua na baridi
Kusafa sifa kama zako

Kwako nimetulia maji kwenye mtungi
Utake nini nikapambane nikupatie
Mi kwako nimefika Kigoma mwisho wa reli
Ukiniacha na wewe nitapururuka nitabakia

Kongoro! Na si nitakonda nitabaki mifupa
Kongoro! Mwenzako mawazo yatanimaliza
Kongoro! Ukiniacha mwenzako nitaliwa na upweke
Kongoro! Aaa yii aaah aah

Kwanza nani atatokea
Awezekano – ndengea
Chakula cha usiku nisosomo
Nisosomolee

Nani atajua kuniponza ka siko sawa
Turumbwe na usahifu aah
Nikiambiwagwa mabaya ya kuhusu wewe
Masikio inaziba yenyewe
Sielewagi naona vitu vyajipa vyenyewe

Kwako nimetulia maji kwenye mtungi
Utake nini nikapambane nikupatie
Mi kwako nimefika Kigoma mwisho wa reli
Ukiniacha na wewe nitapururuka nitabakia

Kongoro! Na si nitakonda nitabaki mifupa
Kongoro! Mwenzako mawazo yatanimaliza
Kongoro! Ukiniacha mwenzako nitaliwa na upweke
Kongoro! Aaa yii aaah aah

Kongoro! Na si nitakonda nitabaki mifupa
Kongoro! Mwenzako mawazo yatanimaliza
Kongoro! Ukiniacha mwenzako nitaliwa na upweke
Kongoro! Aaa yii aaah aah

Mi nitakonda nitabaki mifupa
Mwenzako mawazo yatanimaliza

Kongoro

Who would I spend my time with
If you hadn't been the one
Where would I have experienced love

Despite the beauty of heaven
I am but a chick to your seagull
And you have never done me any wrong

I've traveled to the west
And emerged in the east
I've been burnt by the sun, and chilled with cold
All to find virtues like yours

In you, I've found contentment
Whatever you desire, I will strive to provide
For you, I've travelled to Kigoma
If you leave me, I'll wither away, and remain but a skeleton

Kongoro! If I lose weight, I'll become mere bones
Kongoro! Your absence will torment my mind
Kongoro! If you leave me, loneliness will consume me
Kongoro! Aaa yii aaah aah

To begin with, who will show up
Likely a buzzard
Night-time meal, nothing to read
Read to me

Who will have the wisdom to treat me with love
Such kindness, oh so rare
When I'm told something negative about you
My ears automatically block it out
I'm perplexed, everything seems to be happening on its own

In you, I've found contentment
Whatever you desire, I will strive to provide
For you, I've travelled to Kigoma
If you leave me, I'll wither away, and remain but a skeleton

Kongoro! If I lose weight, I'll become mere bones
Kongoro! Your absence will torment my mind
Kongoro! If you leave me, loneliness will consume me
Kongoro! Aaa yii aaah aah

Kongoro! If I lose weight, I'll become mere bones
Kongoro! Your absence will torment my mind
Kongoro! If you leave me, loneliness will consume me
Kongoro! Aaa yii aaah aah

I'll lose weight, and become mere bones
Your absence will torment my mind
