about

Translation:

What kind of man are you
You are making your woman suffer like that
When you married her
You said you'll take care of her like her family did
Today what do we see
You are making her suffer like that
You don't support her needs
You don't support her necessities
But you also don't want her to work
You keep her life a slave in her own home
What kind of love is that?

Take care of your woman

What did I do to you
For you to make me suffer like this
All I wanted to follow our traditions
And become the mother to your house
And you the father to mine
I stay with you in love
And you stay with me in love
But today what do we see
How this man makes me suffer
He doesn't support my needs
He doesn't support my necessities
What kind of love is this?

Take care of your woman

Stop it, stop it, stop that behavior
It's human being you are living with
She is the one you should confide in
Keep each other well everyday
On the days when life is hard
That's the person who can comfort you
I'm saying to you

Take care of your woman

lyrics

Original:

Yuko Mwana ume wanamuna gani weh
Una teswa bibi yako vile
Pale uli peleka mali eh
Ulisema utamuchunga sasa vile baba yake
Alimuchunga
Leo mukuje muone
Vile anamutswa uyu mutoto wabenyewe
Asimuziye kyakulya
Asi muzuye kyakuvwala
Lakini asipende atumike
Anamuchunga sasa mutumwa
Mapendo yake iyi niya namuna gain ye

Chunga muke wako baba eh

Nini ndikufanya eh
Njo uni tswe ivi baba eh
Kile nilitaka mimi
Nikufwata namuna yakwetu
Niwe mama wa nyumba yako
Nawe uwe baba wanyumba yangu
Nikuchunge mumapendo
Nawe unichunge mumapendo wohh
Lakini mukuje muone eh
Vile anniteswa mimi wabenyewe
Asini uziye kyakulya
Asini uziye kyakuvwala
Lakini asipende nitumike
Ananichunga sasa mutumwa
Mapendo yake iyi niya namuna gain yeh

Chunga muke wako baba eh

Ayi eh…
Mimi naliya mochozi mama eh
Bantu mukuje muone
Na mimi mwana ume
Mina ona iyi mambo rafiki yangu ana fanya
Ayina muzuriye, naimba na mwimbo
namuweka mumwimbo asikiye

eh Acha acha vile
nimuntu unaweka kunyumba eh aina nyama
Ndugu yangu sikiya ulemuntu njo wa kubamba
Muchungane muziri eh siku moja
Kama maisha
Ina kuja siku moja nguvu
Ule yeye njo muntu utaliya nayeeeh

Mimi naku ambiya eh

Chunga muke wako baba eh
