Makeba sings famous swahili song Malaika
Lyrics and English translation of “Malaika”:
Malaika, nakupenda Malaika
Malaika, nakupenda Malaika
Nami nifanyeje, kijana mwenzio
Nashindwa na mali sina we
Ningekuoa Malaika
Nashindwa na mali sina we
Ningekuoa Malaika
Pesa zasumbua roho yangu
Pesa zasumbua roho yangu
Nami nifanyeje, kijana mwenzio
Ningekuoa Malaika
Nashindwa na mali sina we
Ningekuoa Malaika
Kidege hukuwaza kidege
Kidege hukuwaza kidege
Nami nifanyeje, kijana mwenzio
Nashindwa na mali sina we
Ningekuoa Malaika
Nashindwa na mali sina we
Ningekuoa Malaika
Angel, I love you my angel
Angel, I love you my angel
What can I do, my love
I don’t have any money
I would have married you my angel
I don’t have any money
I would have married you my angel
Money is troubling my heart
Money is troubling my heart
What can I do, my love
I can’t take care of you
I would have married you my angel
I don’t have any money
I would have married you my angel
Little bird, I dream about you little bird
Little bird, I dream about you little bird
What can I do, my angel
I don’t have any money
I would have married you my angel
I don’t have any money
I would have married you my angel
