lyrics
Kazi yako nzuri ilienea Afrika
Kila pembe duniani kote
Hatuta sahau kamwe
Yale ulioyapigania
Mama
Niwe niwewe Mama Afrika
Umeacha pengo kubwa
Hatutakusahau daima
Makeba
Tutakuenzi milele
Hakuna kama wewe
Chorus
Ma,
Makeba
Mama Afrika
Mama Afrika
Sali
Wewe ndiwe nyota
Ya bara la Afrika
Wewe ndiwe mwangaza
Mama Makeba
Sasa nani awezae
Tuonyesha njia yakufwata
Sasa nani awezae
Zituliza mioyo zetu
Makeba
Chorus
Kila pembe duniani kote
Hatuta sahau kamwe
Yale ulioyapigania
Mama
Niwe niwewe Mama Afrika
Umeacha pengo kubwa
Hatutakusahau daima
Makeba
Tutakuenzi milele
Hakuna kama wewe
Chorus
Ma,
Makeba
Mama Afrika
