Jux • From “King of Hearts”
King of Hearts’s Sing For You Swahili Lyrics English Translation
Jux sings, ‘Your name’s a sweet melody’, meaning your name sounds like a sweet song. The lyrics describe a tattoo that will write out praises, a promise etched in skin. The lyrics picture a room full of photos, each frame a reminder of longing.
Jina lako sweet melody yehYour name’s a sweet melody, yeah
Mpaka Nandy ka vexxEven Nandy’s getting jealous
Penzi lako limenipa uchiziYour love’s driven me crazy
Kukuacha sio wepesiLeaving you isn’t easy

Wee ndio chaguo langu ubavu wa kitandaYou’re my choice, the rib by my bedside
Sema na moyo wanguSpeak to my heart,
Sije kanipa kidondaLest you leave me with a wound,
Uwe karibu yanguStay close to me
Chumbani kwangu nimejazaa picha zakoMy room’s filled with your photos
Kila wimbo nalitaja jina lakoI mention your name in every song
