    Pesa zasumbua roho yangu Money is troubling my soul

    Nami nifanyeje, kijana mwenzio, And I, your young lover, what can I do,

    Ningekuoa Malaika. I would marry you angel.

    Nashindwa na mali sina, we, Was I not defeated by the lack of fortune,

    Ningekuoa Malaika. I would marry you Angel.

  • Song is really very beautiful.

  • @meganthemegan IT WAS SUNG BY THE LATE FADHILI WILLIAMS WHO HAILS FROM KENYA MOMBASA. NICE SONG

  • LOVELY...

  • @goonewj The original was sung by a Kenyan man called Fadhili William and you can find it on youtube.

  • This song is sung in Swahili, the first language I spoke. My parents took me to Tanganyika when I was 6 months old, to a place deep in the bush. My video has original footage, plus the lowering on the Union Jack on 9th December 1961. I have missed Africa, the warm people, the sun, the anguage, since we left. This song takes me back, & credit to Miriam, who was a South African Xhosa, for her Swahili, & Harry, whose Swahili singing is excellent too.
