Akisema, mama yu hoi kitandani
Saying, mother is helpless in bed
Kama si wa leo wa kesho
If not today its tommoror
Na kupona sizani
And I don't think she'll get well
Upate japo neno la mwisho
At least to get the last word
Mi ndo mtoto wa pekee
I am the only child
Nyumbani wananitegemea
They depend on me
Mdogo wangu wa kike
My little sister
Hali duni alishagaolewa
Used to stay in poor conditions
Tizama jasho langu la mnyonge
Look at my sweat
Kipato hakikidhi mahitaji
Income does not meet requirements
Napiga moyo konde
I decide to become courageous
Zile ngoja kesho badae
Wait for that
Atazichoka kuzivumilia
She'll get tired of waiting
Anakosa hata matunzo
Lacking even care
Ona, nadaiwa kodi nilipopanga
I am being asked for rent
Nashinda road nikihanda
I work all day looking for daily food
Nishapiga hodi kwa waganga
I've already gone to Witch doctors
Kwa kuhisi narogwa
Because I feel bewitched
Mi ndo mtoto wa pekee
I am the only child
Nyumbani wananitegemea
They depend on me
Mdogo wangu wa kike
My little sister
Hali duni alishagaolewa
Used to stay in poor conditions
Tizama jasho langu la mnyonge
Look at my sweat
Kipato hakikidhi mahitaji
Income does not meet requirements
Napiga moyo konde
I decide to become courageous
Yarabi mola ndo mpaji
God is the giver of all
