Sasa Hivi [Stripped Down] Lyrics English Translation by Ashley Music | V-Be
The songwriter pens concrete promises of devotion. He notes, ‘I’ll make a copy of the key so you don’t have to wait at the gate.’ He compares their growing connection to a phone battery whose charge keeps going up.
Soon ntakusave na love emoji nitoe official nameSoon I’ll save your number with a love emoji and remove your official name.
PDA bila uwoga juu licence ni peteWe’ll show affection in public without fear, because this ring is our license.
I’ll buy some boxers, you can share with meI’ll buy some boxers that you can share with me.
Uwache kuvisit uishi na meStop just visiting, and come live with me.
Kifunguu nkutolee copy usizubae kwa gateI’ll make a copy of the key so you don’t have to wait at the gate.
Vitunguu tutoane ngozi uchi ujionyesheLike peeling an onion, we’ll strip away our layers and bare our souls.
Si valentines nikueke archives pale kwa TVI won’t just keep you hidden in the archives by the TV for Valentine’s Day.
L’azma uolewe and it must be meYou must get married, and it has to be to me.
Kesho yetu usifananishe na janaDon’t compare our tomorrow to our yesterday.
L’ami na reli hazitoshani upanaA tarmac road and a railway track are not the same width.
Uchumi mbaya but I’ll spend my todays with youThe economy is bad, but I’ll spend my todays with you.
Leo ikona guaranteeBecause today comes with a guarantee.
Ntakuita wangu kabla uitwe na maulanaI will call you mine before the Creator calls you away.
You’re my rose but I’ll still give you your flowersYou’re my rose, but I’ll still give you your flowers.
Ntakupenda sahii na ka si sahiiI will love you right now, and if not right now,
Ni sasa hiviit will be in this very moment.
Ntakuita wangu kabla uitwe na maulanaI will call you mine before the Creator calls you away.
You’re my rose but I’ll still give you your flowersYou’re my rose, but I’ll still give you your flowers.
Ntakupenda sahii na ka si sahiiI will love you right now, and if not right now,
Ni sasa hiviit will be in this very moment.
Sasa hiviIn this very moment.
Sasa hivi, sasa hiviIn this very moment, right now.
Ntakupenda sahiiI will love you right now.
Ukipigana na dunia, i’ll be fighting by your sideWhen you fight the world, I’ll be fighting by your side.
I’ll carry your name, my love is strong enoughI’ll carry your name, my love is strong enough.
Niamini with your weaknesses open upTrust me with your weaknesses and open up.
I’m on your team not against youI’m on your team, not against you.
I’ll cook your favorite meal, ukule ulambe sahaniI’ll cook your favorite meal, so you eat until you lick the plate.
Yakimwagika ntapanguza usijaliIf things spill, I’ll wipe them up, so don’t worry.
Lazma nikuzalie watu wenu wanijueI must bear your children so your family knows me.
Hio naeza guaranteeThat is something I can guarantee.
Kesho yetu usifananishe na janaDon’t compare our tomorrow to our yesterday.
Lami na reli hazitoshani upanaA tarmac road and a railway track are not the same width.
Uchumi mbaya but I’ll spend my todays with youThe economy is bad, but I’ll spend my todays with you.
Leo ikona guaranteeBecause today comes with a guarantee.
Ntakuita wangu kabla uitwe na maulanaI will call you mine before the Creator calls you away.
You’re my rose but I’ll still give you your flowersYou’re my rose, but I’ll still give you your flowers.
Ntakupenda sahii na ka si sahiiI will love you right now, and if not right now,
Ni sasa hiviit will be in this very moment.

You’re my rose but I’ll still give you your flowersYou’re my rose, but I’ll still give you your flowers.

Ni sasa hiviit will be in this very moment.
Ntakupenda sasa hiviI will love you in this very moment.
I’ll give you your flowersI’ll give you your flowers.
Sipendi your favorite artist but nakupenda nta compromiseI don’t like your favorite artist, but I love you, so I’ll compromise.
Klabu date ya smocha humind vile burger sifiki priceYou don’t mind a date with cheap street food since I can’t afford a burger.
Kuona movie kwa lapi ni intimate hatuwezi sjikana kwa theatreWatching a movie on a laptop is intimate, we can’t hide from each other in a theater.
Nikwandalie candle lit dinner tokens kidogo vile meter inatetaLet me prepare a candle-lit dinner with the few power tokens left as the meter complains.
Kuna tisho flani nimebuy baggy si tuone vile itakuvaaI bought a baggy t-shirt, let’s see how it looks on you.
Ati games gani? Hapa labda kadi I’ll never play with your heartWhat games? Maybe just cards here, I’ll never play with your heart.
Twende house hunting tupange nyumba bila intentions za kuikaaLet’s go house hunting and plan for a home without any intention of moving in yet.
Naeza kopa gari twende nayo nanyuki but hio ni trip ya njaaI could borrow a car to drive to Nanyuki, but that would be a trip made in hunger.
Ugumu wa mkate huishia kwa chai si twende kibandaHard bread softens in tea, so let’s go to the local food stall.
Yetu ni simu iko kwa moto charge inaenda ikipandaOur love is like a plugged-in phone, its charge keeps going up.
Buroti maguta maguta you are my fertile kiwanjaLike a prime plot of land, you are my fertile ground.
Ukipotea ntakutafuta I’m one half you are the otherIf you get lost, I’ll search for you, because I’m one half and you are the other.
