Title: mpenzi muhibu
Post by: CaribIZ on January 18, 2007, 07:18:57 PM
To Pascal ..........

Mpenzi muhibu                  Beloved lover
pokea waraka                   receive my letter
nipate majibu                    and may i get an answer
yanayo tosheka                that satisfies ?
ufanye wajibu                   Do your duty
unaopasika                       as behoves you. 

Soma taratibu                    Read carefully
ujibu haraka                       reply quickly
ondosha adhabu                 remove the torture
soma ukicheka                    read smilingly
unipe majibu                       give me an answer
nikafurahika                      that I may rejoice

Pendo laniswibu                   Love has struck me
kwako nateseka                   I suffer for you
linaniadhibu                         it tortures me
lanipa mashaka                     it gives me anxiety
wewe nde tabibu                   you are the doctor
moyo huridhika                      my heart agrees with you

Wazidi musabu                       my unhappiness increases
roho wasishika                        it seizes my soul
wewe nde tabibu                     you are the doctor
moyo huridhika                        my heart agrees with you

wazidi musabu                         My happiness increases
roho washika                           it seizes my soul
wewe nde sababu                     you are the cause
raha kunitoka                           that my peace is gone
Njoo mahabubu                          Come , beloved
Hapa natutaka                          I need you here 



To pascal my love. Baby I miss you like crazy. Mading wa forever Jade.
