OK. I know some better performances of the song, but I THANK YOU VERY MUCH for the lyrics and translation of initial part. I had it formerly (both lyrics and translation), but I don´t know how I lost or kept it "somewhere". Well, I became old, lol... I heard this song for the 1st time, you know, some 35 years ago!!! I have it in vinil disc by Makeba and heard it now here by Fadhili. THANKS TO YOU ALL FOR SOME HELP!

@tribadorimtb the gist of the song is a poor guy in love with a beautiful girl but cannot afford the customery bride price. Nakupenda Malaika means I love you Angel in Swahili. That's how my friend in Mombasa explained it.

Malaika nakupenda malakika.x2
(Angel i love you angel)
Nami nifanyeje,kijana mwenzio,
(what do i do,your youth
Nashindwa na mali sina wee
( i can't and i dont have wealth)
Ningekuoa malaika
(i would have married you angel)
This is a very smooth and gentle interpretation, which I think superbly captures the agony of the protagonist's unfulfilled love in the song. Well done Safari Sound Band
