[VIOLIN PLAYS A FAST PHRASE] [GROUP] Aaaaah! [MALE] Nani amesema tunaenda nyumbani? [VERSE 1] Tumetoka nje saa sijui ngapi Mtaa bado moto upepo kidogo Mmoja anasema “Taxi?” Hakuna anayejibu. Tunatembea tu. Viatu vimechoka sauti zimepotea Lakini macho bado hayataki kulala Halafu... [VIOLIN FAR AWAY] Ngoja. Mmesikia? [GROUP] Eeeh! [HOOK] Bado usiku! Twende tena! Bado usiku! Twende tena! Nyumbani kesho leo bado! Bado usiku! Twende tena! [ROLLING GROOVE] [VERSE 2] Tunafuata violin kama wajinga Street moja street mbili Muziki unakuwa mkubwa Rafiki yangu anaanza kucheza kabla hata hatujafika Bro... hata mlango hatujauona. Anasema: “Sijali.” Fair enough. [TAARAB STRINGS ACCELERATE] [HOOK] Hatuendi nyumbani! Bado! Hatuendi nyumbani! Bado! Miguu imechoka? Bado! Sauti imeisha? Bado! Usiku? BADO! [INSTRUMENTAL] Violin! Oud! Violin! Oud! [VERSE 3] Tumefika. Hakuna VIP hakuna plan Watu wapya lakini rhythm moja Mtu ananipa maji Asante. Mwingine anavuta rafiki yangu ndani Sasa tumepoteana. Perfect. Kesho tutapigiana simu. Leo kila mtu ajitafute mwenyewe. [STRINGS DROP OUT] [GROUP CHANT, SOFT] Twende... tena... Twende... tena... [VIOLIN RETURNS WITH NEW MELODY] [FINAL] Dar! Bado! Bahari! Bado! Marafiki! Bado! Muziki! Bado! Jua likitoka? TUTAONA! Nyumbani? BAADAYE! Bado usiku! Bado usiku! TWENDE TENA! [END — DISTANT LAUGHTER + VIOLIN]
