🎤 LYRICS
[UTANGULIZI]
Usiku umetua polepole...
Bahari imevaa fedha...
Mwezi umelala juu ya Stone Town...
Na upepo umebeba harufu ya karafuu...
Kisha ukatokea...
Kimya...
Kama dua iliyojibiwa...
[BETI 1]
Sikukuona kama wengine
Kwa kelele za sokoni
Nilikuona usiku
Mwezi ulipopumzika baharini
Ulipita taratibu
Kati ya milango ya zamani
Na taa za vibarazani
Zikakufuata kimya
Nguo zako ziligeuka upepo
Ukitembea kwenye mawe
Na kila hatua uliopiga
Ilionekana kama wimbo
Hakukuwa na dhahabu
Hakukuwa na fahari
Ilikuwa nuru ya tabasamu lako
Iliyobadilisha usiku
[KIITIKIO]
Malkia wa mwezi
Usiondoke mbali
Macho yako ni bandari
Ya moyo uliosafiri
Malkia wa mwezi
Kaa nami leo
Uzuri wako ni utulivu
Unaoponya roho
[BETI 2]
Nilisikia wanawake wazee
Wakisema kwa tabasamu
"Uzuri wa kweli"
"Haupigi kelele"
Unaishi ndani ya moyo
Kama manukato ya karafuu
Yanayobaki hewani
Baada ya upepo kupita
Mikono yako ilinigusa
Kama maji ya alfajiri
Yaliyolala juu ya mchanga
Bila kuvunja ukimya
Na macho yako
Hayakuniahidi mbingu
Yalinipa amani
Iliyokuwa imenipotea
[KIITIKIO]
Malkia wa mwezi
Usiondoke mbali
Macho yako ni bandari
Ya moyo uliosafiri
Malkia wa mwezi
Kaa nami leo
Uzuri wako ni utulivu
Unaoponya roho
[DARAJA]
Beauty is not the light we see
It is the peace we finally feel
Like the tide returning softly
Healing every wound that time could never heal
You never asked the stars to shine
They followed where your footsteps lay
And every silent prayer I carried
Found its answer in your gaze
[BETI 3]
Leo bahari imetulia
Na moyo nao umetulia
Kwa sababu nimegundua
Uzuri si uso pekee
Ni namna unavyotabasamu
Kwa asiye na nguvu
Ni namna unavyosikiliza
Bila kuhukumu
Na kila mwezi utakaporudi
Juu ya bahari yetu
Nitakukumbuka
Kama wimbo wa taarab
Unaochezwa taratibu
Mpaka alfajiri
[KIITIKIO CHA MWISHO]
Malkia wa mwezi
Usiondoke mbali
Macho yako ni bandari
Ya moyo uliosafiri
Malkia wa mwezi
Kaa nami leo
Uzuri wako ni utulivu
Unaoponya roho
Harufu ya karafuu...
Ndani ya upepo...
Mwezi wa Zanzibar...
Ndani ya moyo...
