(Acoustic guitar strumming)
Yoh... muli shani, my people?
Listen close, mukwai.
Ayy...
Yesterday is gone, ebeene
The past is like a shadow in the dust
Lelo ni lelo, today we are here
Breathing this air is a gift we must trust
We build our houses, we make our plans
But tomorrow has no guarantee in our hands
Mayo! We run the race every single day
Hoping the sun will shine our way
Indeed, life is vanity, oh-ooh
But we still plan for tomorrow, we no fit stop
We live for today, we hope for the best
In this beautiful vanity, we find our rest
Natotela, we thank God for the breath
Lelo is ours, there is no fear of death
No one knows what the morning will bring
Whether we cry or whether we sing
Some call it boza, some call it a dream
But life is deeper than it may seem
Ifwe, we keep moving, we keep the faith
Planning for tomorrow, standing at the gate
Even with no promise, we still believe
In every blessing we are yet to receive
Indeed, life is vanity, oh-ooh
But we still plan for tomorrow, we no fit stop
We live for today, we hope for the best
In this beautiful vanity, we find our rest
Natotela, we thank God for the breath
Lelo is ours, there is no fear of death
Plan for tomorrow, but live for today, mukwai.
Yoh... Kalindula flow.
Ayy... we go again.
