Mito
I left home and moved to Brooklyn where my boyfriend had a place
– Niliondoka Nyumbani na kuhamia Brooklyn ambapo mpenzi wangu alikuwa na mahali
And he had track marks on his arms but had the most angelic face
– Na alikuwa na alama za kufuatilia mikononi mwake lakini alikuwa na uso wa malaika zaidi
I watched my friends die before twenty-one, and now I’m twenty-eight
– Niliwatazama marafiki zangu wakifa kabla ya ishirini na moja, na sasa nina ishirini na nane
I’m at the doctor’s every day, because I can’t stop losing weight
– Mimi niko kwa daktari kila siku, kwa sababu siwezi kuacha kupoteza uzito
And now I’m the one with needles in my arms and in my legs
– Na sasa mimi ndiye mwenye sindano mikononi mwangu na miguuni mwangu
I’m making jokes about the blood tests, and I’m plannin’ my estate
– Ninafanya utani kuhusu vipimo vya damu, na ninapanga mali yangu
And I don’t wanna blame the child, but I have to speculate
– Na sitaki kumlaumu mtoto, lakini lazima nifikirie
If this could all just be an answer to those prayers that came delayed
– Ikiwa hii inaweza tu kuwa jibu kwa sala hizo zilizokuja kuchelewa
Because I never would have said it if I knew I’d have to wait
– Kwa sababu sikuwahi kusema ikiwa ningejua ningelazimika kungojea
Until the moment I was happy, then it all disintegrates, and I’m singin’
– Hadi wakati nilipokuwa na furaha, basi yote hutengana, na ninaimba’
“Please, God, I don’t wanna be sick
– “Tafadhali, Mungu, sitaki kuwa mgonjwa
And I don’t wanna hurt, so get it over with quick
– Na sitaki kuumiza, kwa hivyo ipate haraka
Please, God, I wanna be loved
– Tafadhali, Mungu, nataka kupendwa
Don’t wanna be somebody that you’re tryna get rid of
– Sitaki kuwa mtu ambaye wewe ni tryna kujikwamua
Please, God, I don’t wanna be sick
– Tafadhali, Mungu, sitaki kuwa mgonjwa
And I don’t wanna hurt, so get it over with quick
– Na sitaki kuumiza, kwa hivyo ipate haraka
Please, God, I wanna be loved
– Tafadhali, Mungu, nataka kupendwa
I don’t wanna be somebody you’re tryna get rid of”
– Sitaki kuwa mtu wewe ni tryna kujikwamua”
Thank you
– Asante
