[Verse 1]
Wakati unakwenda,
Time is passing,
Najiuliza utarudi lini.
I wonder when you will return.
Kila kukicha nakungoja,
Every day I wait for you,
Moyo wangu unatamani.
My heart desires.
[Chorus]
Ngoja nikungoje,
I will wait for you,
Kama maua yanavyongoja mvua.
Like flowers wait for rain.
Shoto, rudi kwangu,
Shoto, come back to me,
Upendo wetu haupoi kamwe.
Our love never fades.
[Verse 2]
Kumbukumbu zetu zananijia,
Our memories come to me,
Kicheko chako na tabasamu.
Your laughter and smile.
Nawaza lini tutakutana,
I wonder when we will meet,
Mikononi mwako nipate amani.
In your arms I find peace.
[Chorus]
Ngoja nikungoje,
I will wait for you,
Kama maua yanavyongoja mvua.
Like flowers wait for rain.
Shoto, rudi kwangu,
Shoto, come back to me,
Upendo wetu haupoi kamwe.
Our love never fades.
[Bridge]
Jua linachomoza na kutua,
The sun rises and sets,
Na mimi bado nasubiri.
And I am still waiting.
Kila sekunde ni ndefu,
Every second is long,
Bila wewe karibu.
Without you near.
[Chorus]
Ngoja nikungoje,
I will wait for you,
Kama maua yanavyongoja mvua.
Like flowers wait for rain.
Shoto, rudi kwangu,
Shoto, come back to me,
Upendo wetu haupoi kamwe.
Our love never fades.
