KARUBANDIKA LYRICS - ORCHESTRE MAQUIS ORIGINAL

March 18, 2026 - 04:00 PM

Kama wewe ungenipenda, kwanini kunidanganya bwana wee
[If you had loved me truly, why would you lie to me]

Kujibandika madaraka sio yako bwana wewe
[You hang other people's titles on yourself]

Kama wewe ungenipenda, kwanini kunidanganya bwana wee
[If you had loved me truly, why would you lie to me]

Kujibandika madaraka sio yako bwana wewe
[You hang on other people's titles]

Nimesikia tetesi kuwa huna lolote hata kazi huna wee
[I heard talk that you have nothing, not even a job]

Unazurura mchana kutwa ehh, ukita kurandaranda mitaani eeh
[You wander around the whole day, up and down the streets]
Nimesikia tetesi kuwa huna lolote hata kazi huna wee

Unazurura mchana kutwa ehh, ukita kurandaranda mitaani eeh
[I heard talk that you have nothing, not even a job]

Kumbe hukuwa na uwezo wa kunioa ila kuniharibia maisha
[Apparently, you did not have the ability to marry me but to destroy my life]

Heri kuniambia ukweli ulivyo kuliko kunidanganya wee
[Better to be honest about your situation than to lie]

Nikuelewe vipi ehh, babu we, uaminifu wako uko wapi eh, baba
[How can I understand you, grown-up man, where is your honesty]

Nikuelewe vipi ehh, babu we, uaminifu wako uko wapi eh, baba
[How can I understand you, grown-up man, where is your honesty]

[Instrumental] Aah karubandika

Nikuelewe vipi ehh, babu we, uaminifu wako uko wapi eh baba
[How can I understand you, grown-up man, where is your honesty?]
Nikuelewe vipi ehh, babu we, uaminifu wako uko wapi eh baba
[How can I understand you, grown-up man, where is your honesty]

[Chorus]

Usinione bwege baba
[Don't think I am naive, my dear]

Usinione bwege baba
[Don't think I am naive, my dear]

Kwa kukubali wito wako karubandika ehh
[For accepting your advances, Karubandika]

Haya yote ni matatizo yangu ni ya baa baa (??)
[These are all my problems, at the bar]

Nilitaka kujitumbukiza ndani ya moto miye/pole
[I was thinking of throwing myself into the fire]
Kumbe bwana yule hana kitanda wala shuka
[Realizing that man did not have a bed nor a sheet]

Pakulala hana, analala kwenye stendi ya basi
[He has nowhere to sleep, so he sleeps at the bus station]
Pakulala hana, anakesha kwenye kituo cha kuunda
[Has nowhere to sleep, stays overnight at the construction centre]

karubandika yoyo, acha vituko we bwana
[Karubandika, my dear, stop these comedies, man]

Chorus

Chorus

Akiingia kwenye bar, kazi yake kuomba bia
[When he enters the bar, he is busy borrowing beer]
Akiingia kwenye bar, kazi yake kuomba bia
[When he enters the bar, he is busy borrowing beer]

Hana hata aibu, sigara pia anaomba
[He has no shame; he borrows even cigarettes]

Mitaani na kwenye mastoo kujitangazia kuwa yeye
[Across the streets and stores announcing that he]

ni mkurugenzi wa kampuni fulani, kumbe sivyo hivyo
[is the CEO of a certain company, yet it is not the case]

Chorus

[Instrumental] ~ marechal marechal, pasi ka kobanga..leta ngoma

Ze ze zenguela

[Instrumental]
