Wake up, city skyline looking all bright
Tamara taking over, shining with the light
Check the outfit, yeah, she rocking it right
Best day of the year, we gonna party all night
Every matatu buzzing, they calling her name
From the Westlands streets, she’s winning the game
Nobody stopping the vibe, we claiming the fame
Tamara, my person, you never the same
Tamara, oh Tamara, it’s your birthday today
We kupiga sherehe, move out of the way
Tamara, oh Tamara, you the star of the bay
Let the bass drop low, let the music just play
(Eeh buda!)

With that beautiful smile and the look on your face
Big nyama choma, the table is set
Best birthday party, yeah, you never forget
All the mbogi gathered, no room for regret
We toast to the future, the best you can get
Manze, you a queen, yeah, royalty born
Rise like the sun in the early bright morn
No drama, no rada, we leaving it lorn
Celebrating the day that your spirit was drawn

With that beautiful smile and the look on your face
Si uko! Turn it up, feel the log drum beat
Tamara moving steady, dancing on the street
Everything fiti, yeah, the rhythm is sweet
We never gonna stop until we hit the heat!
Tamara, oh Tamara, it’s your birthday today
