Ma you know I have to go

Forgive me for I do not know (naisha, naisha, naisha)

I don't know how to let her go (naisha, naisha, naisha)

I won't let her go

Mama Ndanu, if you think I'm crazy

Nimeshalipa ndege mizigo nikapadisha meli

I don't know what I will do

If I don't see your baby tonight and every night

Mapenzi si ya jamii, ni kati yangu na yeye tu

Nikubalini niende tu, either way I'll have to do it

Aaah, mtuweke kwa maombi juu

Whatever we looking for we will find

Ooh I have to go (naisha, naisha, naisha)

Mama you know I have to go (naisha, naisha, naisha)

Forgive me for I do not know (naisha, naisha, naisha)

I don't know how to let her go (naisha, naisha, naisha)

I won't let her go, bless me as I go

Baba Ndanu you call me crazy

You call me lazy, haupendangi madready

Lakini tutakutumia photo na kitu kidogo

All this and more, only if you let me go

Mapenzi si ya jamii, ni kati yangu na yeye tu

Nikubalini niende tu, either way I'll have to do it

Aaah, mtuweke kwa maombi juu

Whatever we looking for we will find

Ooh I have to go (naisha, naisha, naisha)

Mama you know I have to go (naisha, naisha, naisha)

Forgive me for I do not know (naisha, naisha, naisha)

I don't know how to let her go (naisha, naisha, naisha)

I won't let her go

Oooh I have to go (naisha, naisha, naisha)

Mama you know I have to go (naisha, naisha, naisha)

Forgive me for I do not know (naisha, naisha, naisha)

I don't know how to let her go (naisha, naisha, naisha)

I won't let her go, bless me as I go

Ma you know I have to go

Forgive me for I do not know

I don't know how to let her go

I won't let her go
