LUNA
So… sad for you and I
Luna, mtoto wa moonlight
Verse 1
Experience ilikuwa eye-opener, college na wasichana warembo
Wengi walitafuta good conduct, tukapoteza lengo
Hapa ndani nilikuwa mgeni, hakuna mtu tulijuana
Cautious from the start, ju hapa niliambiwa huwa na
Malpractice ku-trip downfall na demands cultic
Culture dirty, through God niliamini nitapita katikati
Hii siku ya orientation, alitembea mbele yangu kwa hallway
Msichana mrembo, acha nimwite obsession ju always
Alikuwa all over kwa fikra zangu ka moshi ya ganja
Dream at wake, ni ka alipuliza speck toka kwa kiganja
Ningelalaje na mother fantasy alikuwa kwa upeo wa macho?
Utanielewa ka ushapata gravity crush kwa life yako
Haku-sweep off my feet, ali-break ground nilikanyaga
Poetry in motion, at some point nakumbuka niki-stagger
Hips zake zinge-swing zinge-generate stima
Nguo alivaa si fupi, nili-covet, I confess I’m a sinner
(Hook)
Binadamu, nimepata mwandani wa siri
Binadamu, hii ndio nafsi yangu asili
Binadamu, hisia hutawala roho na akili
Nikimkumbuka Luna, kipande change cha pili
Binadamu, nimepata mwandani wa siri
Binadamu, hii ndio nafsi yangu asili
Binadamu, hisia hutawala roho na akili
Nikimkumbuka Luna, kipande change cha pili
Verse 2
Time ilisonga aki-smoke reality yangu ka sigara
Clock tick kwa bedside table ilinikumbusha kila mara
Soul kui-console, fear kui-control, nika-act the leader
Kwa conversation fupi baadaye, aliniambia anaitwa “Luna”
Alikuwa first year na ali-study kwa school ya architecture
Ali-smile nikimwambia urembo wake ni thick in texture
Budake alikuwa Nigerian, madhake alikuwa Kenyan
On a personal opinion, ali-find people warmer in Kenya
Time ilisonga, nilihofia asiseme yuko hooked up
Lakini si ni ngumu kuamini hata karne ilianza na nukta
Sikumchocha vile ana body na umbo la chupa
Rather, niliskia my first love story nikaanza kumtafuta
So tulipanga date, on a larger scale tujuane zaidi
At this point vitu chemistry ilifanya, hatungekaidi
Kwa chill spot tulifaa kupatana, thirty minutes earlier
Na hii feeling nilikuwa nayo, hata time haingekuwa barrier
(Hook)
Binadamu, nimepata mwandani wa siri
Binadamu, hii ndio nafsi yangu asili
Binadamu, hisia hutawala roho na akili
Nikimkumbuka Luna, kipande change cha pili
Binadamu, nimepata mwandani wa siri
Binadamu, hii ndio nafsi yangu asili
Binadamu, hisia hutawala roho na akili
Nikimkumbuka Luna, kipande change cha pili
Verse 3
Toka mbali alitembea with grace na perfection
Personality bila pride, unless dunia ilicheki reflection
Headwrap ya Badu, shanga za kiafrika, need I mention
Alinikumbusha good art na nyimbo za redemption
Handshake ilikuwa soft na skin tone ya alabaster
Butterflies kwa tumbo na pia roho ilipiga faster
Alinikumbusha vile black woman hu-bleed kulea watoto
So strong, wengine walijifungulia kwa fields za cotton
Akaniambia hangekuwa na mimi kulingana to the sages
Ati ilikuwa bound na utamaduni na wisdom of ages
Singemwandikia love letter kutumia bedsheet ka pages
Nilimheshimu, tuli-hug na tuka-cross vidole
What would I have done kuondoa limitation bound na culture
Aka-tilt kichwa aside, kuficha smile ime-fracture
Kwa hizo levels za connection si ingekuwa ngumu kumwacha
Alitembelea roho yangu na aliacha a beautiful pattern
Future huwa njiani inakuja na past si ya ku-follow after
So presently, ningemvisha pete after kunyang’anya Saturn
Tuli-dance kwa moonlight, warmth ili-assuage machungu
Tuli-move na rhythm ilifuatana na arm-swing ya Mungu
Macho ilionyesha ana mengi ya kusema, ningemruhusu
Vitu hange-whisper kwa maskio, aliniambia na busu
Hii ni diary yangu kabla nii-set on fire
Ju inanikumbusha the future I never had na pia desire
Story ya kumwona tena, life haina vitu certain
After ku-watch drama kwa theatre na fall ya curtain
“I love you,” ilikuwa words zake nilisikia za last
Before ni-drift kwa blackness, the last thing nilisikia ni blast
(Outro)
[The extract]
(Bridge)
Nakupenda, mi na wewe ni body mbili na soul moja
Kila kitu ili-work ili tuwe pamoja
Hata mwili zikuwe spirit, tuwe pamoja
Nakupenda, mi na wewe ni body mbili na soul moja
Kila kitu ili-work ili tuwe pamoja
Hata mwili zikuwe spirit, tuwe pamoja
Pamoja
(Outro) (Maya Angelou)
The sun has come
The mists have gone
We see in the distance our long way home
I was yours to have and you were always mine
We loved each other
In and out
In and out
In and out… of time!
