Pekeyake na [bad word] kwa mwezi/ Yatima alilia ndani kivuli/
Pekeyake na [bad word] kwa mwezi/ Maisha anasali kuopolewa/
Amezungukazunguka mbali sana/ Sasa hajui barabara ya kwake/
Dunia inajua hadithi yake/ Lakini nani ajua jina lake?
Mwezi, ukipo/ [bad word] ili atafarijiwa/ Mwezi, ukipo/ [bad word] ili aweza kulala/ Mwezi, ukipo/ [bad word] ili atafarijiwa/
Mwezi, ukipo/ Naomba kwa maisha/ [bad word] kwa maisha

Alone and listening to the light of the moon

She’d wandered for so very far
That she no longer knew her way home

But no one knows her name

Moon, if you are there
Return so that she might [bad word] Moon, if you are there
Return so that she can sleep

Moon, if you are there
Return so that she might [bad word] Moon, if you are there
I am begging for Maisha
Return for Maisha
