[Intro – Soft male vocals]

Yeah yeah...

Oh baby, baby

Unajua nini?

Do you know what?

Moyo wangu umekuchagua...

My heart has chosen you...

[Verse 1]

Nilikuona pale mjini, ukipita taratibu

I saw you in town, passing slowly

Macho yako yakaniambia, kuna kitu cha ajabu

Your eyes told me, there was something amazing

Nilijifanya sijakuona, lakini moyo ukasema

I pretended not to see you, but my heart said

Huyu ndiye niliyemtafuta, hata kabla sijamjua

This is the one I've been looking for, even before I knew her

Kila siku nakuwaza, usiku mpaka asubuhi

Every day I think of you, from night until morning

Nikifumba macho naona, sura yako ndani ya ndoto

When I close my eyes I see, your face in my dreams

Marafiki wananiuliza, mbona nimebadilika

Friends ask me, why I have changed

Nawaambia ni mapenzi, yamenifanya niwe hivi

I tell them it's love, that has made me this way

[Pre-Chorus]

Sijui ulifanya nini

I don't know what you did

Umeingia moyoni

You entered my heart

Hata nikijaribu kukusahau

Even if I try to forget you

Nashindwa kabisa baby

I completely fail, baby

[Chorus – Melodic, catchy]

Mapenzi yamenichanganya

Love has confused me

Sijui nifanyeje

I don't know what to do

Moyo wangu umekutaka

My heart wants you

Sitaki mwingine tena

I don't want anyone else anymore

Wewe ni wangu, wangu

You are mine, mine

Na mimi ni wako, wako

And I am yours, yours

Tukishikana mikono

If we hold hands

Tushinde dunia nzima

We can conquer the whole world

[Verse 2]

Sihitaji mali nyingi, wala maisha ya kifahari

I don't need much wealth, nor a luxurious life

Nahitaji wewe tu, uwe karibu nami

I just need you, to be close to me

Tukipitia magumu, tusiachane njiani

If we go through difficulties, let's not separate on the way

Maana penzi la kweli, halipimwi kwa thamani

Because true love, is not measured by value

[Bridge – Emotional vocals]

Na kama dunia itabadilika

And if the world changes

Mimi sitabadilika

I will not change

Na kama mvua itanyesha

And if it rains

Nitakuwa mwavuli wako

I will be your umbrella

[Final Chorus – Harmonies]

Mapenzi yamenichanganya

Love has confused me

Sijui nifanyeje

I don't know what to do

Moyo wangu umekutaka

My heart wants you

Sitaki mwingine tena

I don't want anyone else anymore

Wewe ni wangu, wangu

You are mine, mine

Na mimi ni wako, wako

And I am yours, yours

Baby, milele na milele

Baby, forever and ever

Nitakupenda...

I will love you...

[Outro]

Yeah yeah...

Milele na milele...

Forever and ever...
