Miriam Makeba & Harry Belafonte My Angel (Malaika) Lyrics

Malaika, nakupenda Malaika. Angel, I love you Angel.
Malaika, nakupenda Malaika. Angel, I love you Angel.
Ningekuoa mali we, I would marry you my fortune,
Ningekuoa dada. I would marry you sister.
Nashindwa na mali sina we, Was I not defeated by the lack of fortune,
Ningekuoa Malaika. I would marry you angel.
Nashindwa na mali sina we, Was I not defeated by the lack of fortune,
Ningekuoa Malaika. I would marry you angel.

Pesa zasumbua roho yangu. Money is troubling my soul.
Pesa zasumbua roho yangu. Money is troubling my soul.
Nami nifanyeje, kijana mwenzio, And I, your young lover, what can I do,
Nashindwa na mali sina we, Was I not defeated by the lack of fortune,
Ningekuoa Malaika. I would marry you angel.
Nashindwa na mali sina we, Was I not defeated by the lack of fortune,
Ningekuoa Malaika. I would marry you angel.

Kidege, hukuwaza kidege. Little bird, I dream of you little bird.
Kidege, hukuwaza kidege. Little bird, I dream of you little bird.
Ningekuoa mali we, I would marry you my fortune,
Ningekuoa dada. I would marry you sister.
Nashindwa na mali sina we, Was I not defeated by the lack of fortune,
Ningekuoa Malaika. I would marry you angel.
Nashindwa na mali sina we, Was I not defeated by the lack of fortune,
Ningekuoa Malaika. I would marry you angel.
