[Verse 1]

Simu yangu mkononi,

My phone in hand,

Nimefikiria sana wewe.

I've thought a lot about you.

Nimekuwa nikikosa usingizi,

I've been losing sleep,

Kukumbuka tabasamu lako.

Remembering your smile.

[Chorus]

Red, nakupigia

Red, I'm calling you

Nakupigia tena na tena.

I'm calling you again and again.

Natamani ungekuwa karibu,

I wish you were near,

Kukukumbatia mpenzi wangu.

To hug you, my dear.

[Verse 2]

Kila wimbo ninaosikia,

Every song I hear,

Unanikumbusha wewe.

Reminds me of you.

Kila mahali ninapoenda,

Everywhere I go,

Naona sura yako.

I see your face.

[Chorus]

Red, nakupigia

Red, I'm calling you

Nakupigia tena na tena.

I'm calling you again and again.

Natamani ungekuwa karibu,

I wish you were near,

Kukukumbatia mpenzi wangu.

To hug you, my dear.

[Bridge]

Moyo wangu unalia kwako,

My heart cries out for you,

Nakuhitaji karibu.

I need you close.

Narudia jina lako,

I repeat your name,

Kila wakati.

Every time.

[Chorus]

Red, nakupigia

Red, I'm calling you

Nakupigia tena na tena.

I'm calling you again and again.

Natamani ungekuwa karibu,

I wish you were near,

Kukukumbatia mpenzi wangu.

To hug you, my dear.
