🎵 Intro:
Start with a slow, steady reggae beat, a deep bassline, and a few guitar chords playing a skank rhythm. A few percussion sounds like congas add a calm and soulful vibe.
(VERSE 1)
Eeehwe! Afrikaa, nasema! nisikilizee.
Nilisafiri, kule ugaibuni, nikaona
Nikaona mateso, na huzuni, machozi na machungu
Yote ni ya kidini, watu wanagombana, wanaumana.
Aah! Machozi ya watoto, mama analia, baba anasubiri,
Anasubiri ukombozi! ukombozi wetu watoka wapi?
Anasubiri amani, lakini wapi? Anatafuta mkombozi wapi?
(PRE-CHORUS)
Sasa nataka kuuliza, ndugu zangu,
Mbona tunapigana, kwa dini hizi?
Mbona tunapigana, ndugu zangu,
Kwa dini hizi za kuletewa?
(CHORUS)
Afrikaa, amkeni! ukombozi wetu hautoki milimani!
Acheni vita, vita vya kidini!
Hizi dini zote, zimetoka mbali!
Hizi dini zote, tumeletewa!
Tumeletewa ili kutufunga tusijitambue
(Afrikaa, amkeni! ukombozi wetu hauko juu wala chini!
Mkombozi wetu ni sisi wenyewe)
(VERSE 2)
Baba yetu ni mmoja, na Mama yetu ni mmoja
Tunayekula naye, tunayekula naye
Kama tuna njaa, tunatafuta chakula pamoja
Mbona leo tunapigana? Ni nani ametufanya hivi?
Ni nani ametufanya hivi? (Aah)
Na roho zetu, moyo wetu, hapo ndipo penye utupu,
Nafsi yenye nafasi ya Uungu wetu ulipo.
Hatuhitaji kiongozi, wa kutuambia tumwabudu nani,
Ni roho yetu, ndugu zangu, ndio inatuongoza!
(PRE-CHORUS)
Sasa nataka kuuliza, ndugu zangu,
Mbona tunapigana, kwa dini hizi?
Mbona tunapigana, ndugu zangu,
Kwa dini hizi za kuletewa?
(CHORUS)
Wana wa Afrikaa, amkeni!
Acheni vita, vita vya kidini!
Hizi dini zote, zimetoka mbali!
Hizi dini zote, tumeletewa!
Tumeletewa ili kutufunga tusijitambue
(Afrikaa, amkeni! ukombozi wetu hauko juu wala chini!
Mkombozi wetu ni sisi wenyewe)
(BRIDGE)
(The music softens, bassline and drums clear, voice deep and emotional.)
Kila damu inafanana, iwe ya Ukristo au Uislamu
Damu ni nyekundu, damu ni uhai, damu ni upendo.
Tusiache dini, itugawanye, itutenganishe.
Tutakumbukana kwa wema, sio kwa ubaya.
(GUITAR SOLO)
A melodic and emotional guitar solo blends reggae and blues notes,
Conveying feelings of peace and love.
(CHORUS)
Wana wa Afrika, amkeni!
Acheni vita, vita vya kidini!
Hizi dini zote, zimetoka mbali!
Hizi dini zote, tumeletewa!
Tumeletewa ili kutufunga tusijitambue
(Afrikaa, amkeni! ukombozi wetu hauko juu wala chini!
Mkombozi wetu ni sisi wenyewe)
🎵 OUTRO:
Music fades out slowly, bassline and drums play softly.
Artist repeats "Amkeni" slowly with emotion.
Amkeni... Amkeni... Ndugu zangu... Amkeni...
Sounds of birds and ocean waves in the distance,
symbolizing peace and hope for a united future.
