Mashabe

Mayo wansumine bwangu
Bwangu nebo ne chilaka tachapwile
Twende babili te mwenso
Nangu mumishitu
Tatwatine inswanswa
Umuchinshi wanseba
Kwendela pamo lelo iwe na ine

Shikulu anjebele ati
Uwabantu achilapo nowafintu
Ukwenda babili te mwenso
Nangu mumishitu mayo
Tatwatine Inswanswa
Mayo wansumine bwangu
Bwangu nebo ne chilaka tachapwile

I feel like a foreigner in jail
In Alexandre Cabanel as they know me
I have sacrificed my family
Just to be famous today and I know it

Ilyashi lyaishile
Lyasendele ingomba shonse muno chalo
Twashala nabana banshiwa
Muno chalo tatukwete nokwakuya
Mayo wansumine bwangu ne
Bwangu nebo ne chilaka tachapwile

Finshi fyalachitike kuntu mwali
Mwayile mukupange inyimbo
