🎤 LYRICS
[INTRO]
Benga...
Polepole...
Usiku umetulia...
Nyota zinawaka...
Lala salama...
Lala salama...
[VERSE 1]
Jua limezama mbali
Sauti za mchana zimetoweka
Barabara zimepumzika
Na upepo umebeba amani
Dirisha liko wazi kidogo
Mwezi unaangaza taratibu
Ukuta umejaa vivuli laini
Vinavyocheza kimyakimya
Hakuna haraka tena
Hakuna safari ya kukimbia
Leo usiku dunia nzima
Inaonekana kutulia
[HOOK]
Lala salama moyo wangu
Lala salama polepole
Acha mawazo yapumzike
Kama mawimbi ya bahari
Lala salama moyo wangu
Lala salama polepole
Nyota zinakuangalia
Mpaka asubuhi ifike
[VERSE 2]
Kama kulikuwa na huzuni
Iweke chini usiku huu
Kama kulikuwa na mashaka
Yaache yapite kama upepo
Mto unapita gizani
Bila kelele nyingi sana
Mwezi nao hauharakishi
Njia yake angani
Miti ilisimama kimya
Ikisikiliza usiku
Na hata dunia inaonekana
Kuvuta pumzi kwa utulivu
[PRE]
Polepole...
Pumua taratibu...
Polepole...
Funga macho...
Polepole...
Usiku uko hapa...
Polepole...
Kupumzika...
[HOOK]
Lala salama moyo wangu
Lala salama polepole
Acha mawazo yapumzike
Kama mawimbi ya bahari
Lala salama moyo wangu
Lala salama polepole
Nyota zinakuangalia
Mpaka asubuhi ifike
[VERSE 3]
Kesho itakuja yenyewe
Bila kuiita kwa nguvu
Majibu mengine huja
Tunapojifunza kutulia
Ndoto nzuri zinakusubiri
Mahali pasipo na hofu
Mahali penye mwanga laini
Na amani isiyoisha
Usingizi uwe mto
Unaokubeba taratibu
Mpaka kwenye bustani
Ya nyota na mwezi
[BRIDGE]
Beneath the quiet sky
Everything is alright
The moon will keep its watch
Through the night
Close your eyes
Let your spirit fly
Morning will arrive
By and by
[FINAL HOOK]
Lala salama moyo wangu
Lala salama polepole
Acha mawazo yapumzike
Kama mawimbi ya bahari
Lala salama moyo wangu
Lala salama polepole
Nyota zinakuangalia
Mpaka asubuhi ifike
Lala salama...
Lala salama...
Lala salama...
Moyo wangu...
