When you're in totality of sorrow,
And not knowing any of tomorrow,
But you're assuring yourself of strength,
Even when time will be of a certain length,
...
If I didn't fulfilled my promise,
Because of my faults,
That I didn't take you there,
Where I had promise you one time,
...
I met her down streets one evening,
She was coming out of what she calls home,
Where she had left a family,
That is her responsibility,
...
People of this modern world,
Are too busy, too busy,
So many times we fail,
To accomplish the important tasks,
...
Sun rises from East everyday,
Its rays bring new hopes into our lives,
When rain comes to us during the noon,
We thank God for it brings life into us,
...
Nijaze mie mahaba,
Ili nile nikashiba,
Nipe mapenzi ya huba,
Nitosheke na dunia.
...
I heard you crying last night,
I heard you whispering so touchfully,
Unfortunately your tone is gone,
I heard the words from your mouth,
...
Upweke jama adhabu, upweke unasumbua,
Upweke ni maghilibu, kukufanya kuugua,
Watamani wa karibu, nenolo taelijua,
Upweke.
...
sun rises from east every morning,
giving you new hopes,
making you meet new friends,
and learning new things in life,
...
Nasema wote vukani, sauti zisikieni,
Tokeni usingizini, inukeni vitandani,
Tufanye jambo fulani.
...
Upo huko mashambani,
Kwenye mazingira duni,
Nani anakuthamini,
Akupeleke shuleni?
...
I used to have so many friends around,
Who were always in my mind,
Them so many that my heart would defend,
Is only this, that I'm trying to understand,
...
Thank you for being real,
Thank you for being true,
To strengthen me when I'm weak,
To lift me up when I'm down,
...
Sometimes...
Got on my mind something to think,
The pains,
Or the worries,
...
Naugua juu yako, mwenzio mie nakonda,
Na mawazo juu yako, yanipa vingi vidonda,
Naugua juu yako.
...
Usiuache mpweke, maumivu kuufika,
Siufanye uteseke, machozi yakanitoka,
Ufanye ufarijike, upe moyo uhakika,
Moyo wangu.
...
That I Know
Language of strong feelings of fondness for a somebody
Object of attracting somebody physically and mentally
...
Show me where I belong,
Gimme what I deserve,
Tell me what I'm supposed to hear,
Fill my life with what I'm entitled to,
...
For what I did to you, girl,
I didn't realize the pains in you,
I didn't appreciate what you devoted for me,
I didn't recognize your true feelings,
...

Hope
When you're in totality of sorrow,
And not knowing any of tomorrow,
But you're assuring yourself of strength,
Even when time will be of a certain length,
There's still a hope.
When you're always underlined with a pain,
The pain that binds your heart with a strong chain,
And thinking the whole world has left you alone,
Those whom you trusted are now almost gone,
There's still a hope.
When sun doesn't light your life today,
And the way of living has just gone astray,
There are situations of feelings of segragation,
But give the world the worthiness of your devotion,
There's still a hope.
When your own life is defined of nothingness,
And not knowing the true senses of happiness,
A living plus all its ways down lacking companionship,
Dont have to worry anymore over the friendship,
There's still a hope.
