When my mother gave birth to me
She thought I was human
She brought me up
She taught me how to behave
As a human being and not an animal
But then came a monster and took me

Huku giza lajikita, nafusi yangu wewe inuka
Inuka uje nakwita, nafusi yangu basi itika
Sikwitii kukuteta, nafusi yangu ´sijeshituka!

As darkness takes control of the day
You should stand up, O the self of mine
Stand up and heed to my call
I call not for bursting to you
O the self of mine
Don't be alarmed!

Pahala papweke, makaburini, pakimya panasinzima
Ulitima wake, huja moyoni, 'katuwa ukatuwama
Tafakuri yake, huja machoni, machozi ikamimina

So lonely is the graveyard, so quite, so cold
Its loneliness fills the heart and therein it dwells
Its thoughtfulness fillls the eyes and tears it sheds

 Zama walizoinuka, watu wakanishutumu
 Kwa maneno ya dhihaka, ya qafu, nuni na lamu
 Ni wewe ulonishika, bila ya kunifahamu
 Begani ukauweka
 Moyo ulionyongeka
 Maneno ulotamka, `tayakumbuka dawamu!

 At the times when people were accusing me
 With such sarcastic words, so bitter, so sharp
 You came to my rescue without knowing me
 You gave your shoulder to a broken heart
 And those words you whispered -
 I will always remember!

 Soundtrack: Ally Fadhil Juma

Ikiwa wataka, ewe Mahububa, kweli jambo hili
Miye sina shaka, na sina ujuba, lau wakubali
Kunipa hakika, yangu matilaba, huwezi yadhili
Zote taziteka, uzitwaye huba, kwa yako kadiri!

If you really want this, o My Dearest
I am of no doubt, nor do I have any arrogance, if you accept -
To assure me my desires won´t be hurt
You`ll definitely take all my love as much you can!

Juzi nilipokuota, nilikuwa ni njiani 
Nawe ukawa wanita, ila miye sikuoni 
Ukawa wanifuata, unishike mkononi
Ila mara hayeyuka, mithili moshi angani 

When you came into my dream a day before yesterday
You were calling my name but I wasn’t seeing you 
You were coming to take me in your beautiful arms 
But I suddenly vanished like smoke in the air 

When You Come Into My Dreams (originally Swahili poem “Ninapokuota”) by Mohammed Al Ghassani.
