Malaika, nakupenda Malaika.
Angel, I love you Angel.
Nami nifanyeje, kijana mwenzio,
And I, your young lover, what can I do.
Nashindwa na mali sina, we,
Was I not defeated by the lack of fortune,
Ningekuoa Malaika.
I would marry you Angel.
Nashindwa na mali sina, we,

Pesa zasumbua roho yangu
Money is troubling my soul

Kidege, hukuwaza kidege.
Little bird, I dream of you little bird.
