Amigo Chunga Watoto WakoAmigo, take care of your children
Tabia Zako ZimeishakuponzaYour habits have already cost you
Mke Na Watoto WamekimbiaYour wife and children have run away
Tulikukanya Chunga Heshima YakoWe warned you to protect your dignity
Mke Na Watoto Wako NyumbaniYour wife and children at home
Ndio Hazina Ya Maisha Yako Amigo AmigoAre the treasure of your life, Amigo, Amigo
Wakati Tunakupa Ushauri EhWhen we were giving you advice, eh
Ulituona Sisi Watu FitinaYou saw us as troublemakers
Twaingilia Mambo Yako Ya NdaniMeddling in your personal affairs
Na Kwamba Tukuache Kama UlivyoAnd that we should leave you as you are
