Lyrics - Swahili
(Tanzanian folk song)
Haiye kirumberumbe
Na mama maridadi,
Haiye kirumberumbe
Na baba maridadi,
Haiye kirumberumbe
Skikundye iimba kiimbo,
Ha, ha, ha, ha – hiyooo! (repeat)
English Translation - I’m a happy guy
I’m a happy guy.
My mom is great.
I’m such a happy guy.
My dad is great.
I’m such a happy guy.
I sing a happy song.
Ha, ha, ha, ha – hiyooo! (repeat)
