Lyrics by: Kombo Chokwe Burns CHORUS: Mimi maji, Mwanijua Wengi waniita bahari, mvua, mto ama ziwa Mwanijua Wengi waniita bahari, mvua, mto ama ziwa VERSE: (2x) Wengi waniita maji, Maji ni uhai Mwatatizika nami Mwasema maji meupe, Baharini samawati Mtoni maji ya vumbi PRECHORUS: Kuishi kwaraha (mwahitaji maji) Mili yenu isafi (mimi maji) Bustani zenu zanawiri (mimi maji) Kiu na maliza (mimi maji) (CHORUS) 2nd VERSE: Je mashambani, Mazao kwa wingi Vicheko na wapa, Mwaishi karibu nami Asiye penda aseme Nawachukua mbalimbali, Ulimwenguni mwote Baharini na mitoni, Nahifadhi nakuwapa Milki wanyama samaki binadamu (PRECHORUS) (CHORUS) BRIDGE: (2x) My name is water, Talking to you My name is water, Listen to me (CHORUS) ----------------------------------------­------------ English Translation by Kombo: CHORUS: I am water, And you know me You call me ocean, rain, river & lake You know me You call me ocean, rain, river & lake VERSE: You all call me water. And you say water is life. Yet, you are confused about me. You say water is clear, Oceans are blue and the rivers are brown PRECHORUS: To live happily , (you need water) You are all clean, (it’s me water) Your gardens are flourishing, (it’s me water) I quench your thirst, (it’s me water) (CHORUS) 2nd VERSE: Look at your farms, There’s much to harvest and it gives you joy. You live by my side. Whoever is not satisfied, may speak. I take you to far places, around the world through oceans and lakes. I help preserve surroundings and all living things. (PRECHORUS) (CHORUS) BRIDGE: (2x) My name is water, Talking to you) My name is water, Listen to me (CHORUS)
