Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon
Like a upinde wa mvua
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon
Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one siku
Gone one night
Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon
Like a ngome
Built upon a sandy beach, pwani
Gone too soon
Like a perfect maua, ua
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon
Born to amuse
To inspire to delight
Here one siku
Gone one night
Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon
