Burundian girl met a kenyan boy
She taught him how to make some sombe
And he taught her how to cross the road
He said hold my hand ooo
Don’t ever let me go no
No no no no no no

As time went by he got a ring placed on her fingers
Told her you are my everything
Jah will bless us my king with a little human being
She said hold my hand ooo no no no no no
Don’t ever let me go no
No no no no no no
Nishike mkono usiniachilie
Ningependa nitembee, na wewe, na weweee

Bujumbura girl loved a nairo boy
She taught him how to make matoke
And he taught her how to make some sembe
He said hold my hand ooo
Don’t ever let me go no

As time went by they got a boy
He was the apple of their eyes
They were overjoyed
Like the star that shines so bright sulwe
And he took her hand
She said never let me go
No no no no no

Ningependa nitembee, na weweee
