Mito
My son is almost three
– Mwanangu ni karibu tatu
He used to look just like his dad
– Alikuwa akionekana kama baba yake
But right now he looks just like me
– Lakini hivi sasa anaonekana kama mimi
And as far as I can see, the fruit I bear is sweet
– Na kwa kadiri ninavyoona, matunda ninayozaa ni matamu
But the apple’s rolling real far from the tree
– Lakini apple rolling halisi mbali na mti
And falling down the hill so full of love and so carefree
– Na kuanguka chini ya kilima hivyo kamili ya upendo na hivyo carefree
I wonder if the world will treat him any better than it treated me
– Nashangaa kama ulimwengu utamtendea bora zaidi kuliko ulivyonitendea
But papa, don’t you preach
– Lakini papa, usihubiri
I tried to teach him every day that nothing good is free, but always should be
– Nilijaribu kumfundisha kila siku kwamba hakuna kitu kizuri ni bure, lakini daima kinapaswa kuwa
And with my roots above and all my branches down below
– Na kwa mizizi yangu juu na matawi yangu yote chini
Please tell my boy I love him so
– Tafadhali mwambie mvulana wangu ninampenda hivyo
Please tell the world I have to grow before I go
– Tafadhali niambie ulimwengu lazima nikue kabla sijaenda
I just wanted you to know
– Nilitaka tu ujue
That I believe in magic and I believe in sin
– Kwamba ninaamini katika uchawi na ninaamini katika dhambi
I still believe in Heaven, if they’ll never let me in
– Bado ninaamini Mbinguni, ikiwa hawataniacha kamwe
I started to believe in love the day I met my little twin
– Nilianza kuamini katika upendo siku niliyokutana na pacha wangu mdogo
I think I might start tryin’ because I haven’t been
– Nadhani naweza kuanza kujaribu kwa sababu sijawahi
My Momma’s getting old
– Mama yangu anazeeka
Well, it’s contagious and you’ll catch it like a cold
– Kweli, inaambukiza na utaipata kama baridi
She won’t admit it, but it’s something that I know
– Hatakubali, lakini ni kitu ambacho najua
‘Cause every year that passes for me passes her a hundredfold
– ‘Kwa sababu kila mwaka kwamba hupita kwa ajili yangu hupita yake mara mia
Back in the day, my dad and I would share a laugh at all of her mistakes
– Nyuma katika siku, baba yangu na mimi kushiriki laugh katika makosa yake yote
But that alliance didn’t save me from her fate
– Lakini muungano huo haukuniokoa kutoka kwa hatima yake
No, it didn’t, I’m still twenty-eight
– Hapana, haikufanya hivyo, bado nina miaka ishirini na nane
Became a single mom, just crushed under a rake
– Akawa mama mmoja, tu aliwaangamiza chini ya tafuta
Of a child growing faster than I think that I can take
– Ya mtoto kukua kwa kasi zaidi kuliko nadhani kwamba naweza kuchukua
I love him anyway
– Ninampenda hata hivyo
And I remind myself a time will come when he sees me turn grey
– Na ninajikumbusha wakati utafika atakaponiona nikigeuka kijivu
And realize it’s too late, like I did with my mother
– Na kutambua ni kuchelewa mno, kama nilivyofanya na mama yangu
So now I tell her to her face
– Kwa hiyo sasa ninamwambia kwa uso wake
With my roots above and all my branches down below
– Na mizizi yangu juu na matawi yangu yote chini
Please tell my mom I love her so
– Tafadhali mwambie mama yangu nampenda hivyo
Please tell the world I have to grow before I go
– Tafadhali niambie ulimwengu lazima nikue kabla sijaenda
I just wanted you to know
– Nilitaka tu ujue
That I believe in magic and I still believe in sin
– Kwamba ninaamini katika uchawi na bado ninaamini katika dhambi
I still believe in Heaven, if they’ll never let me in
– Bado ninaamini Mbinguni, ikiwa hawataniacha kamwe
I started to believe in love the day I met my little twin
– Nilianza kuamini katika upendo siku niliyokutana na pacha wangu mdogo
And I might start tryin’ because I haven’t been
– Na ninaweza kuanza kujaribu kwa sababu sijawahi
I haven’t been, da-da-da-da
– Sijawahi, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-la-la
– Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa
Da-da-da-da-la-la
– Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa
Da-da-da-da-la-la
– Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa
I love him so
– Ninampenda hivyo
