about

Translation:

Sleep child beloved child and know that the world
has its good and also its bad
A person might say they love you
The next day they kill you
The other you may hate yet may be the one to save your life

It’s life

So tomorrow when you wake up do this
Say thank you to the creator
Ask to stay well day and night, and try not to do worng
And when you do wrong admit it

It’s life

lyrics

Original:

Lala mutoto wa mama ujuwi kamaduniya
Ikona uzuri wake sasa tena na bubaya
Muntu ata sema ana kupenda
Kesho yake ana ku uwa
Mwingine uta chukiya kumbi njo ata ku sauver

C’est la vie

Kumbi kesho ya ukilamuke wewe ufanye ivi
Piga aksnti kwa mungu baba wetu wabinguni
Umuonwshe akuchunge
Iwe usiku na mapema eh na nzambi usfanye
Ukifanye uwombe huruma Wewe eh…

C'est la vie
