Yeah, you know it's that Bongo vibe
Just me and the rhythm
Pauline, ah ah!
I'm walking through the streets of Dar tonight
Thinking 'bout the way you hold me tight
But every time I look into your eyes
I see a million beautiful lies
You tell me you love me, you say I'm the one
But then you leave me under the burning sun
My heart is beating like a drum in the street
Waiting for the moment that our souls will meet
Oh Pauline, nakupenda sana, I love you so
But you're hurting my heart everywhere that I go
Pauline, oh Pauline, why you treat me this way?
Turning all my golden nights into shades of grey
Yeah, you're the melody inside my head
But your love is the fire that's burning instead
I remember the times in Bagamoyo sand
Walking by the shore, holding your hand
We ate the mishikaki, shared a cold soda too
I thought the promises you made were all true
But now the daladala is moving so fast
And I'm just a shadow of a love from the past
Is it the fame or the glitter and gold?
Or just a story that's getting too old?
Oh Pauline, nakupenda sana, I love you so
But you're hurting my heart everywhere that I go
Pauline, oh Pauline, why you treat me this way?
Turning all my golden nights into shades of grey
Yeah, you're the melody inside my head
But your love is the fire that's burning instead
I need a sign, baby, tell me the truth
Is it the end of our beautiful youth?
I'm giving you my heart, don't throw it away
I want you here with me, come what may
Twende, twende, let's make it right
Don't leave me alone in the middle of the night
Dar es Salaam is calling my name
But without your love, it's never the same
I'll be here waiting, I'll be here strong
Even when the road feels way too long
My love for you is deep like the sea
Pauline, baby, please come back to me
Poa sana, let's start it again
Wash away the sorrow, forget all the pain
Oh Pauline, nakupenda sana, I love you so
But you're hurting my heart everywhere that I go
Pauline, oh Pauline, why you treat me this way?
Turning all my golden nights into shades of grey
Yeah, you're the melody inside my head
But your love is the fire that's burning instead
Yeah, Pauline
It's all for you
My Bongo queen
Don't break my heart no more
Poa, mambo, we move
Just come back home
Ah ah!
