Dead at Last (Swali/Kithungu)
For long, no love, just being alone
With ridicule, ukasema, that way I was born
In depths of despair, nikachoose not to fall
Mahopes nikajipa, nikachoose ku stand tall
Akili na bidii, those I had
Pesa, a handsome face, none I had
Nevertheless, Ilibidi nimetry
Ilikuwa hard, that, siwes deny
So, nilijua lazima mistari zangu ziwe fine
Ndo atii, akuwe mine
Hassle moja ngumu it were
A show of wit and muscle, I won
Now she’s mine
Now, si huwine na nakudine
Weaving, our love in time
To her, my heart I grant
With hers, as one to band
She’s indeed a fine brand
A beauty so rare
Yaani, ameiva beyond compare
Her eyes, her beautiful smile
Zinapendeza, far beyond a mile
Yee ndo the apple of my eye
Come mchana, come night
Ako always within my sight
Together we form a pair
On and on we dare
Bila worries ya vile wana tustare
We are strong, hawewezi kutu scare
Our soul, mind and heart
Bonded and sealed, a single pack
Ata ukuwe mngori aje, ama ukuwe na luck
This, you can’t tear or part
In case you even try
Muriu hapo ndo utadie
Six feet kwa sanduku utago down
Kufunikwa na mchanga, ukumbe ground
Ndani ya box, cold, rotting, we ni food ya the worm
Juu ya bed, tukimake some love, tunakeep it warm
Composed, stress-free, mapenzi yetu ni tight
Decomposed, kwa ground, my friend unaturn dust
Fading away, ushakuwa past
Forgotten, kwa memory, very soon utakuwa wiped
Same way as first, mapenzi yetu, iko bound to last
Same way as first, kijana, hizo ridicules zako, ziko dead at last
