lyrics
Jawabu, jawabu
Jawabu tutapata wapi jawabu
Ubinafsi umetunyonga, ukorofi umentufunika
Ufisadi umetumeza, ukatili umetuanza
Jangwani, hewani mitaani
Janga, machozi, kilio
Shambani barbarani nyikani
Wapi hupati kilio
Jawabu Jawabu
Jawabu tutapata wapi jawabu
Ugonjwa yatulegeza, tamaa yatupofusha
Utumwa unatutesha, uchungu oande zote
Jangwani, hewani, mitaani
Jangq machozi kilio
Shambani barabarani nyikani
Wapi hupati kilio
Usimnyime mwenzio haki
Mnyonge usimdhihaki
Mwafrika mngwana bana
Jawabu tutapata wapi jawabu
Ubinafsi umetunyonga, ukorofi umentufunika
Ufisadi umetumeza, ukatili umetuanza
Jangwani, hewani mitaani
Janga, machozi, kilio
Shambani barbarani nyikani
Wapi hupati kilio
Jawabu Jawabu
Jawabu tutapata wapi jawabu
Ugonjwa yatulegeza, tamaa yatupofusha
Utumwa unatutesha, uchungu oande zote
Jangwani, hewani, mitaani
Jangq machozi kilio
Shambani barabarani nyikani
Wapi hupati kilio
Usimnyime mwenzio haki
Mnyonge usimdhihaki
Mwafrika mngwana bana
