Nyashinski • From “Good Old Days”
Good Old Days’s Fly Swahili Lyrics English Translation
Nyashinski sings about moments that slip away too fast, reminding us to taste joy while we can. He notes how rain makes sunshine sweeter, a simple image that grounds the song’s message. One line stands out: ‘You’ll enjoy the sun more if it rained yesterday.’
Bila raha hakuna time za kurememberWithout joy, there’s no time worth remembering,
Na time ya kuremember ndio utakua nayo pekeeand those memories are the only thing you’ll truly own.
Bila love hakuna mahali tunaendaWithout love, we aren’t going anywhere.
Show me love I’ll never show anything elseShow me love, and I’ll never give you anything else.
Hizi moment nataka zilast forever, zilast foreverI want these moments to last forever, to last forever.
Every moment uko nayo jitolee jitoleeGive your all to every single moment you have.
Ka ni real basi utakua hapo kila weather any weatherIf it’s real, then you’ll be there through any kind of weather.
Utafurahia jua zaidi ka jana kulirainYou’ll enjoy the sun more if it rained yesterday.
Ridhisha moyo aaiSatisfy your heart.
Usiulize why? oh why? oh why?Don’t ask why, oh why, oh why?
Uko in the mix with the best enjoyYou’re in the mix with the best, so enjoy.
That’s all I want enjoy enjoyThat’s all I want, just enjoy and enjoy.

Ona vile saa hua inafly, vile saa hua inaflyLook at how the time flies, look at how the time flies.

Hata siamini aminiI can’t even believe it.
Vile inafly ata siamini aminiHow it flies, I just can’t believe it.
Macho nayo bado unashindwa kuonaEven with your eyes, you’re still failing to see,
Tukiworry hakuna kitu tutachangethat worrying won’t change a single thing.
Bila love hakuna mahali tunaendaWithout love, we aren’t going anywhere.
Show me love I’ll never show anything elseShow me love, and I’ll never give you anything else.
Onja raha ujionyeshe unajipendaTaste the joy and show that you love yourself.
Time unayo usikubali kuiwasteYou have the time, so don’t let it go to waste.
