Nili kutana
na Mulofa moja
aloin'ambiya
ana toka jela
aloin'ambiya
sina pesa ya cakula
nili sikiya
na uluma sana
nika mupatiya
na shiling tano
nika mwambiya
nenda ukale cakula
kumbe muongo
ali danganya
ni siku nyingi
anashidwa kazi
ana tafuta
njiya ya kuji patiya
cakula
we muongo
uta rudi jela
juwa muongo
juwa mateso
