shaa

Karani

Ewe wangu Karani

nakusalimu, zipoke zangu habari

makinika kwa yanayonisibu 

usiku kucha nakesha, na wewe ndiwe sababu.

 

naadhibika mwenzako 

zinaniruka akili

fikra zawa za kilumbwi

ngowa lanitanda

nisibaini sababu.

 

mawazo yamenikunda,

nipo taabani mahamumu,

navurugika akili,

maisha yanawa thakili,

usiajizike...

subiri nikuarifu.

 

shabaha nalolilenga ni hizi zetu hulka,

linaloniadhibu ni maneno yako,

hunizuzua na kunipumbaza,

na huku kuntatiza,

nayakwepa mafikra zako 

wala badali sioni.

nasaha zangu hazinifai hata chembe,

nateketeya.

 

sadiki yangu kauli,

pendo halimsaili mtu linapomshika,

na kwangu yamenitanda,

macho hayana pazia,

na wala mwenye macho haambiwi tazama,

ni dhahiri

takidiri, takidiri limetukutanisha.

 

nakuenzi mithili ya mihanuni na zabibu,

nisilijue dosari nalizamia kichwa kwanza

nakurai ikiwa yamejibaini

tusilitumbue

tuchunge kisije chujuka

Dear Karani, 

I salute you, hear my news, 

heed to what ails me, 

I no longer sleep and you’re the reason. 

 

I\'m suffering, 

going nuts, 

thoughts like the chameleon 

Longing covers me 

the reason I comprehend not. 

 

Thoughts have enveloped me, 

I\'m worried and anxious, 

I\'m loosing my mind, 

life is getting hard, 

don’t tire… 

patience I tell you 

 

The target I aim is our relations, 

what punishes me are your words, 

they excite and comfort me, 

and disturb me. 

I avoid thinking about you 

I see no change. 

advice is useless, not worth a grain 

I\'m burning. 

 

My words are true 

Love doesn\'t ask, when it seizes a     person 

it has covered me all over. 

Eyes can never be screened to the truth 

Its clear as day 

Fate, fate has brought us together. 

 

I cherish you, 

you\'re as precious as hennaed hands and grapes. 

Let me not know any blemish, I dive in head first. 

I plead if its apparent 

Lets not ruin it 

Let it not fade
