[Verse 1]

Moyo wangu, mzigo mzito,

My heart, a heavy burden,

Kupenda kwako, ni jambo la kitoto,

Loving you, is a childish thing,

Kila tabasamu, nina kumbukumbu,

Every smile, I have a memory,

Lakini sasa, yamekuwa mateso.

But now, it has become torment.

[Chorus]

VIJO, mapenzi yanauma,

VIJO, love hurts,

Kwanini hisia zangu zimekuwa gumu?

Why have my feelings become difficult?

Nakukumbuka, kila kukicha,

I remember you, every morning and evening,

Maumivu ya mapenzi, yananichosha.

The pain of love, it exhausts me.

[Verse 2]

Kila wazo langu, linakuelekea,

Every thought of mine, goes towards you,

Kila ndoto yangu, inakuhusisha,

Every dream of mine, involves you,

Sijui kama nitakuacha,

I don't know if I will leave you,

Lakini maumivu, yamenichoka.

But the pain, has tired me.

[Chorus]

VIJO, mapenzi yanauma,

VIJO, love hurts,

Kwanini hisia zangu zimekuwa gumu?

Why have my feelings become difficult?

Nakukumbuka, kila kukicha,

I remember you, every morning and evening,

Maumivu ya mapenzi, yananichosha.

The pain of love, it exhausts me.

[Bridge]

Kupenda ni kujitolea,

To love is to sacrifice,

Lakini nimeumia sana.

But I have been hurt so much.

Nahitaji amani ya moyo,

I need peace of heart,

Nisaidie, nifanye nini?

Help me, what should I do?

[Chorus]

VIJO, mapenzi yanauma,

VIJO, love hurts,

Kwanini hisia zangu zimekuwa gumu?

Why have my feelings become difficult?

Nakukumbuka, kila kukicha,

I remember you, every morning and evening,

Maumivu ya mapenzi, yananichosha.

The pain of love, it exhausts me.
