about

Translation:

Tomorrow will be yours
Tomorrow will be yours
Don't worry my friend

Even when things are hard
Don't worry
What is yours will come to you
Leave alone the dishonest ways
Let go of the fast life
Work is important
It brings you respect

What comes from your sweat
Will be given to you
These are words of our ancestors

Tomorrow will be yours
Tomorrow will be yours
Don't worry my friend

Even when things are hard
Don't worry
What is yours will come to you
My friend don't cry
You just work
I am telling you God never sleeps

What comes from your sweat
Will be given to you

Look at me today
You know about me

For the hunger of today
You will receive tomorrow
For the sweat of today
You will receive tomorrow
For the pain of today
You will receive tomorrow

lyrics

Original:

Kesho ni yako
Kesho ni yako
Usi sikitike ndugu yangu eh

Ataa mambo ikuje
Nguvu usisikitike
Kwani kintu kama nikyako
Kitakuja kyako
Acha mambo ya bwizi
Kutafuta yote upesi we
Kazi iko namafaa
Utapewa eshima we
Kyaku jaso yako
Kita pewa kwako
Iyi ni Sauti ya waze wali tuzala

Kesho ni yako
Kesho ni yako
Usi sikitike ndugu yangu eh

Ataa mambo ikuje
Nguvu usisikitike
Kwani kintu kama nikyako
Kitakuja kyako
Ndugu usiliye
Weye tumika tu
Mimi nakwambiya
Mungu alalake
Kyaku jaso yao
Kita pewa kwako
Uni One mimi leo
We siuna nijuwa eh

Kwanjala ya leo
Uta pewa kesho
Kwa mateso ya leo
Uta ona kesho
Kwa ukonvi wa leo uta pewa kesho

Sikiya Jaso
Njo mali Yako
