Verse 1
S’kiza story yangu, wimbo tangu
(Listen to my story, I've been singing)
Umri mbili / tatu, nipa hamu
(Since I was two or three, give me meaning)
N’nakuhitaji kama damu yangu
(I need you like my blood)
N’najaribu kufahamu
(I am trying to understand)
Sababu ya safari yangu
(The purpose of my journey)
Uchungu pia na utamu
(The bitter and the sweet)

Chorus
And as the beat of my heart pumps this melody
Into my blood, music feeding me
And like a child needing nurturing
I’ll be your child, Mwanamuziki

Verse 2
Ngoja s’kizeni nitokapo
(Wait, listen to where I'm coming from)
Ndiye uelewe niendapo
(So you'll understand where I am going)
Nairobi is my home and I’m proud to say so
My purpose and my struggle
Is through song to let the whole world know
There’s more to Africa than the Kilimanjaro

Chorus
