Mmmh AaahMmmh Aaah.
Tafadhali Naomba Usinipende Mimi Na Ujipende Wewe BabePlease, I beg you not to love me; just love yourself, babe.
Wazuri Wapo Wengi Sana Wanaupendo Wa Kweli Na Wanajua Kupenda BabeThere are so many good people out there with true love who know how to love, babe.
Mi Kupenda Nilichelewa Na Story Za Mapenzi Sizijui SanaI was late to learn about love, and I don’t know much about romance.
Najua Hautonielewa Na Hata Nayoongea YatakuchanganyaI know you won’t understand me, and even what I’m saying will confuse you.
Unaweza Ukanifunza Kupenda Alafu Nikaja Nikapenda We Ukaja Niumiza MoyoYou might teach me to love, but once I do, you could end up hurting my heart.
Maana Nishawaona Wakitendwa Walopenda Wasikopendwa Hayo Mambo Siyawezi NoI’ve seen people get hurt when they loved those who didn’t love them back; I can’t handle that, no.
Me Kupenda Nilichelewa Na Story Za Mapenzi Sizijui SanaI was late to learn about love, and I don’t know much about romance.
Mwenzako Nilipolelewa Kuhusu NitakudanganyaWith the way I was raised, I’d just be lying to you.
Na Ndio Maana NaonaAnd that’s why I feel…

Me Najua Kua Mapenzi Kupendana Watu Wawili KushibanaI know that love means two people loving each other and being close.
Ila Naona Vimegoma Moyo Na AkiliBut I feel that my heart and mind just refuse to cooperate.
Sio Kama Sijakupenda Tatizo Mkipendwa Mnabadilikaga MioyoIt’s not that I don’t like you, but the problem is that people change once they’re loved.
Maana Nishawaona Wakitendwa Walopenda Wasikopendwa Hayo Mambo Siyawezi NoI’ve seen people get hurt when they loved those who didn’t love them back; I can’t handle that, no.
Me Kupenda Nilichelewa Na Story Za Mapenzi Sizijui SanaI was late to learn about love, and I don’t know much about romance.
