Sella Lyrics English Translation by Alikiba
Alikiba writes about sending money while denying personal needs. He sings, ‘Didn’t you tell me you were going to study? / You’ve come back with a child,’ showing shattered trust. The lyrics describe how his ‘fruit’ was devoured by another man.
Ah-ahAh-ah.
Toka Umeondoka Bongo Amani Imezizima Ya MoyoSince you left home, the peace in my heart has gone cold.
Hamu Nzima Na Usongo Najinyima Raha Upate FurahaAll my desire and longing, I denied myself pleasure so you could find happiness.
Sina Mama Sina Si Unajua Mi Sina MaweI don’t have a mother, you know I don’t have any money.
Naona Unazongwa U-bachelor Nilisubiri Urudi Nikuoe AhI see you’re caught up in the single life, and I waited for you to come back so I could marry you, ah.
Si Uliniambia Unaenda SomaDidn’t you tell me you were going to study?
Umerudi Na Ulezi Mtu Na MwanaeYou’ve come back with a child, a whole person and their kid.
Na Vipesa Nilivyotuma Oh Mama Nilijinyima Upate WeweAnd the little money I sent, oh mama, I denied myself just so you could have it.
Sasa Unaitwa Mother Na Umeshazaa Akili Na Mwili VimepagawaNow you’re called a ‘mother’ and you’ve given birth, my mind and body have gone mad.
Nakunywa Energy Ila Sina Power Maji Ya Kunywa Ila We UmenawaI’m drinking an energy drink but I’ve got no power, it was water to drink but you just washed your hands with it.
Salamu Natuma Ni Kwa Yule Uliesoma NaeI’m sending my greetings to that one you ‘studied’ with.
Nikipiga Simu Anapokea Anaongea Uliyosoma NaeWhen I call, he’s the one who answers, that one you ‘studied’ with is talking.
Ulisema Huyo Msela Msela Huyo Unaesoma NaeYou said he was just some guy, that guy you study with.
Tunda Langu Akala Sella Akatafuna Tafuna Oh SellaHe ate my fruit, Sella, he chewed and chewed it all up, oh, Sella.
