Hey mpenzi we, nakupenda sana
Mpenzi nakupenda
Mpenzi nakutaka
Mpenzi nakupenda (mpenzi wangu)
Mpenzi nakutaka (mpenzi wangu)
Mpenzi nakupenda (mpenzi wangu)
Mpenzi nakutaka (mpenzi wangu)
Hey mpenzi we, nakupenda sana

Hey mpenzi we, nakupenda sana
Mpenzi we
Hey mpenzi we, nakupenda sana
Mpenzi we

Verse 1
Mpenzi wangu
Niko hapako nataka bwana sana
Tulikosana
Lakini hizo ni mambo za jana
Leo siku mpya
Tuendelee
Tusahau
Zile makosa
Then we can live and learn
All the precious things then we can earn
Forever, oh my baby wosa
I chose ya, to be my number moja
Through sickness and health
Through poverty and wealth
Living each and every day, baby as it comes
I got a love call to set your ball rolling
I made my plan, change my mind
I had to make you mine

Chorus
Mpenzi, hakuna matata
Kila kitu kitawa sawa sawa
My lover, you don't have to worry
Everything will be alright

Mpenzi we

Verse 2
Nataka tuelewane
Tuache kugombana
Tabia kama yako
Yasio sikilizana
Kwa hivyo wacha tue
Bibi na bwana
Tuendelee mbele
Tuache makelele
Mapenzi yawe tele
Milele na milele
Cuz things ain't right between you and me
Nothing is the way that it is supposed to be
Something needs to be D O N E
Cuz I wanna get it on and kick it right with you
Prove that I am a man who knows what to do
I don't really wanna wait
It might get too late

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3
Here's my love baby come and take it (2x)
Cuz when I come, I come right inside
Me go ask and me shake business ...
Here's my love baby come and take it (2x)

I need your loving baby
Can I get it right away
I'll rather not wait
It's been long since you been gone
I've got quality time lady
All reserved just to be with you
Ain't no worries at all
Girl I know just what I got

My lover is you
I wanna be with you
No worries at all
I wanna rock your world
My mpenzi

Repeat Chorus till fade

Hey mpenzi

Mpenzi (hakuna matata) translations
Had to grab a Kenyan friend to help with this... shoutout to him. :-)

This song revolutionised East African R&B! It is a classic and very popular, it wasn't even released in the 21st century. Marvelous song!

Mpenzi wangu (my lover)
Niko hapako, nataka bwana sana (I'm right here with you, I want you a lot)
Tulikosana (We argued)
Lakini hizo ni mambo za jana (But that is past news)
Leo siku mpya (Today is a new day)
Tuendelee (Let's go ahead)
Tusahau (Let's forget)
Zile makosa (Those mistakes)

Mpenzi, hakuna matata (My lover, you don't have to worry)
Kila kitu kitawa sawa sawa (Everything will be alright)

Nataka tuelewane (I want us to get along)
Tuache kugombana (Let's stop arguing)
Tabia kama yako (With your kind of attitude)
Yasio sikilizana (Which are conflicting)
Kwa hivyo wacha tue (Therefore, let us be)
Bibi na bwana (Wife and husband)
Tuendelee mbele (Let's move forward)
Tuache makelele (Let's stop bickering)
Mapenzi yawe tele (Love in abundance)
Milele na milele (Forever and forever)
