Please, please, forgive me
but I won't be nyumbani again.
Maybe someday you'll look up
and barely conscious you'll say to no-one:
"isn't something missing?"
wewe won't cry for my absence, I know,
wewe forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant?
Am I so insignificant?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
Even though I'm the sacrifice
wewe won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know wewe loved me
I'm all alone
Isn't someone missing me?
Please, please, forgive me,
but I won't be nyumbani again.
I know what wewe do to yourself,
I breathe deep and cry out.
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
Even though I'm the sacrifice
wewe won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know wewe loved me
I'm all alone
Isn't someone missing me?
And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
knowing wewe don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of wewe
I'll wake without wewe there.
Isn't something missing,
Isn't something...?
Even though I'm the sacrifice
wewe won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know wewe loved me
I'm all alone
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
but I won't be nyumbani again.

We rode on farasi made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down.
Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
"Remember when we used to play?"
Bang bang, I shot wewe down
Bang bang, wewe hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot wewe down.
muziki played, and people sang
Just for me, the church bells rang.
Now he's gone, I don't know why
And till this day, sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie.
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down...
