ninapoteza akili

ukiwa tayari

kupaa

ninahitaji kuwa na wewe

Africonnect Program with Esther - 9th June 2025 - Swahili

Kibwagizo / Chorus

Tulizaliwa kuwa watoto, si mashine za vita
Lakini sasa damu ndiyo ndoto, na risasi ni lugha
Mioyo yetu imefungwa kwa minyororo ya uoga
Hatujui tena tofauti ya haki na kosa

Chorus

We were born to be children, not war machines
But now blood is our dream, and bullets are our tongue
Our hearts are locked in chains of fear
We no longer know the difference between right and wrong

Betu 1 / Verse 1

Nilikuwa na ndoto za kuwa mwalimu au daktari,
Sasa mikono yangu inashika bunduki kila asubuhi.
Walimchoma baba mbele ya macho yangu,
Wakasema: “Sasa wewe ni wetu – hakuna kurudi.”

Verse 1

I had dreams of becoming a teacher or a doctor,
Now my hands grip a rifle every morning.
They shot my father before my very eyes,
And said: “Now you belong to us—there’s no turning back.”

Betu 2 / Verse 2

Kiongozi wetu husema sisi ni simba wachanga,
Tusiogope damu, wala kilio cha mama.
Lakini usiku nikilia kimya, sijisikii jasiri,
Na sura ya dada yangu hunijia, akinililia amani.

Verse 2

Our leader tells us we are young lions,
Not to fear blood, nor a mother’s cries.
But at night I weep in silence; I don’t feel brave,
And my sister’s face appears, pleading for peace.

Kibwagizo / Chorus (repeated)

Tulizaliwa kuwa watoto, si mashine za vita
Lakini sasa damu ndiyo ndoto, na risasi ni lugha
Mioyo yetu imefungwa kwa minyororo ya uoga
Hatujui tena tofauti ya haki na kosa

Chorus (repeated)

We were born to be children, not war machines
But now blood is our dream, and bullets are our tongue
Our hearts are locked in chains of fear
We no longer know the difference between right and wrong

Kiitikio cha Mwisho / Final Refrain

Niombee, mama, niombee niokoke
Ndani yangu bado kuna mtoto, hajafa kabisa
Siku moja nitavua hii sare ya vita
Na kurudi nyumbani, hata kwa ndoto tu

Final Refrain

Pray for me, mother, pray that I be saved
Inside me there’s still a child who’s not fully dead
One day I will shed this war uniform
And return home, even if only in a dream

Born as Children - Run

Je, mara baada ya kuokolewa, daima kuokolewa ni fundisho la kweli kutoka kwa neno lililo hai la Mungu?
