Afrobeat
Lyrics
Description
Chadani anadami alivyo mzuri kaki pepeo Mpole menye kevu waku wai kunyo ata gado
Mpole menye kevu waku wai kunyo ata gado Alinipenda sana liweke adisalao
Wakati sina mimi ila tatizo Sikurudisha fadila sikumbridia ye
Kuwa kutua nilitanganga na skendo zade Alinivumila sana lipambana sana tuehote
Ila doni kashindika nakaona bora ondoke Pese you never get a good woman twice
Ila ndo hoya wezi zoleka Natamani mda unge rudinyuma
Kwa kuwa sasa najua bora Ningependa vyema unavyostahili
Ila sasa ndio umeshaolewa na wana wawili
You never miss the water till it runs low
Shouldn't have let you go
You never miss the water till it runs low
Nilichoba kiza kumbu kumbu zako
Shouldn't have let you go
You never miss the water till it runs low
Chozi chozi lama juto lando kampenzi
Mahumi ivu ayako mikikumbuka nilivyo kutenda mpenzi
Jito sema sina wivu ila sina majungu
But I pray that you're happy cause you deserve it baby
Pese you never get a good woman twice
Ila ndo hoya wezi zoleka Natamani mda unge rudinyuma
Kwa kuwa sasa najua bora
Ningependa vyema unavyostahili
Ila sasa ndio umeshaolewa na wana wawili
You never miss the water till it runs low
Shouldn't have let you go
You never miss the water till it runs low
Nilichoba kiza kumbu kumbu zako
Shouldn't have let you go
You never miss the water till it runs low
You Never Miss the Water
