Simama Meaning & Lyrics (Lody Music)

Alawi Omary Alawi talks about a heart that won’t rest. The songwriter asks, ‘Heart, what’s wrong with me?’

Katika zangu pita pitaIn my wanderings,

Moyoni nikakukaribishaI welcomed you into my heart,

Nikasema ntakubadirishaI said I’d change you,

Umebadilika sasa unanidhalilishaBut you’ve changed and now you’re humiliating me.

Upendo wako umejifichaYour love is hidden away,

Malumbano kila kukichaWith arguments every single morning,

Sikujua una visaI didn’t know you had these schemes,

Unanifundisha yani unajifanya ticha oh nooYou’re lecturing me, acting like you’re a teacher, oh no.

Yani mapenzi bana yanachekeshaLove is just so funny,

YananifuraishaIt makes me happy,

Jana nimependwaYesterday I was loved,

Leo nahachwaToday I’m being left.

Unaemuita mwana anachoreshaThe one you call a ‘friend’ is making a fool of me,

Vitu anavivujishaHe’s leaking our private business,

Uwaga wanapendwaPeople are usually loved,

We ukiachwaBut for you, when you’re left.

Yanavunjisha sana moyoIt really breaks my heart,

Upendo ukizidiWhen love becomes too much,

Mapenzi yananiliza kwaniniWhy does love make me cry?

Naulazimisha sana moyoI’m forcing my heart so hard,

Kupenda kwa bidiiTo love with all its might,

Ila kila siku naachwa mimiBut every day I’m the one being left,

Moyo unaniiHeart, what’s wrong with me?

Simamaa simamaa acha kukimbiaa simamaa simamaaStand still, stand still, stop running, stand still, stand still,

Mjini kuna vya watu simamaa simamaaaIn the city, there are other people’s things, stand still, stand still,

Punguza kukurupuka simamaa simamaa moyoStop being so impulsive, stand still, stand still, my heart,

Moyo unaniiHeart, what’s wrong with me?

Siulisema uezi ishi ukinikosa mbona leo unanitosa na sijui hata kosa languDidn’t you say you couldn’t live without me? Why are you dumping me today? I don’t even know my mistake,

Sawa ndo umeamua kunitosa na machozi yanatoka ulijali hata penzi languFine, you’ve decided to dump me, and tears are falling; did you even care about my love?

Kumbe kosa langu kukupenda eti nakuchosa pindi ukiona simu zanguTurns out my mistake was loving you; you say I bore you whenever you see my calls,

Niende kwa waganga ama nitumie mafuta ya mwamposa kulitibu ili penzi languShould I go to witchdoctors or use ‘Mwamposa’s’ oil to heal this love of mine?

Oouuoo natuma msg ndefu unazijibu kwa emojiOh, I send long messages, you reply with emojis,

Nikijibu kwa emoji unasema hainogi mapenziiWhen I reply with an emoji, you say the love isn’t sweet anymore,

Naulazimisha sana moyoo kukupenda kwa bidiiI’m forcing my heart so hard to love with all its might,

Ila kila siku naachwa mimiBut every day I’m being left,

Kwani moyo wangu unaniiFor what’s wrong with my heart?

Simamaa simamaa acha kukimbiaa simamaaa simamaaStand still, stand still, stop running, stand still, stand still,

Punguza kukurupuka simamaa simamaaaStop being so impulsive, stand still, stand still,

Ah simama simama simamaa simamaaAh stand still, stand still, stand still, stand still,

Aah mjini kuna vya watuAh, in the city, there are other people’s things.
