Sawa Lyrics English Translation by Vii Sugar Boy
He sings about a race that never slows, where friends sprint ahead while you stumble on the same road. A line about social media stealing direction cuts straight to the heart of today’s digital maze. Later he writes that patience and faith will balance the scales, promising that blessings arrive in their own time.
Maisha Yanakwenda RaceLife’s become a race,
Unazidi Struggleyou just keep struggling.
Wenzako Wana MakeYour friends are making it,
We Mambo Badobut for you, things still aren’t right.
Mpaka Kuna Muda UnakoseaIt gets to a point where you slip up,
Kuna Muda Unakufukurua time when you lose your faith,
MUNGU Hatendi Fairfeeling like GOD isn’t playing fair.
Na Maisha Hayataki Uwe SoftAnd life doesn’t want you to be soft.
Ila Ujue Tu Ku BalanceBut you just have to know how to find a balance.
Wengine Roho ChafuSome people have tainted souls,
Na Wengine Roho Safiand others have pure souls.
