Lyrics (in Swahili):

Chorus/ubeti:
Unavigonganisha vitoto, vitoto vya watu toka Jamaica. Unavigonganisha vitoto, vitoto vya watu toka Afrika. Uchune unune we sio jabali. Uchune unune we sio jabali.

Verse/kiitiko:
Au shikaji vipi mbona umeuchuna? Mkiskia hili songi na zani linawakuna. Nyinyi ndo mamamba wengine hakuna hoo. Babu wa tagwani nawauliza tena mmeuchuna. Mkisikia hili songi na zani linawauma. Nyinyi ndo mamamba wengine hakuna. Babu watagwani watagwani. Moja fagi, mbili fagi, tatu fagi, nne fagi, tano fagi, sita fagilia haa. Sitafagilia haa.

Verse/kiitiko:
Mara huyu yule vipi tena ndo fani? Mjanja ndo wewe unajitwika kichwani. Ukipata ngoma utamlaumu nani hii? Babu watagwani watagwani. Sasa tuwekea, taifa litapotea, kwenye asilimia mia, sabini wameupokea. Tusiposichunga, wanangu tutapotea, jamaa watagwani watagwani. Usimghasi dumpatipati. Ye ana wake hee, peke yake hee. Muachie, usimwingilie hee.
