Refrain:
Waache waende, he waende (Let them go, let them go)
Waache waende, ni mbaya kung’ang’ania (Let them go, it is bad to cling to them)
Waache waende, he waende (Let them go, let them go)
Wabariki waende, si vizuri kung’angania (Bless them and let them go, it is not good to cling to them)
Kuwa maakini na mtu yeyote aliye karibu yako
(Be careful with whom you let be near you)
Acha kumwamini kwa kuwa anacheka, ukamweleza mambo yako
(Do believe them and tell them your plans, because they laugh)
Siku akichoka asije geuka katoboa siri zako
(So that the day they tire of you, they may not reveal your secrets)
Funga mdomo, jifanye seseta asije soma moyo wako
(Shut your mouth, behave like a mute–so that they may not read your heart)
Ukimwona rafiki yako, anacheka na adui yako
(When you see your friend laughing with your enemies)
Jua umekwisha-umeuzwa wewe pamoja na roho yako
(Know that you are done for–you have been sold together with your heart)
Jana nilimwona na Juma lokole akieleza siri zako
(Yesterday I saw them with the gossipt, telling your secrets)
Kapeleka macommenti, anauza mafaili kuanika aibu zako
(They took comments, selling your files revealing your shame)
Nyima thamani yako, akili kichwani mwako
(Protect your worth, the wisdom in your head)
Lenye mwanzo lina mwisho, fukuza kabisa watoke kwako
(What has a beginning has an end, chase them to get out of you)
(Refrain)
Kilazimisha wabaki kwako, wataumiza akili yako (If you force them to remain with you, they will rob you of your peace)
Wataharibu CV yako, mwisho watachimba kaburi lako (They will destroy your CV, and finally dig your grave)
Mungu anajua wema wako… hebu tuliza moyo wako… (God knows your goodness… calm your heart)
Wakiondoka fagia nyayo yao, watakuja wengine (When they leave, sweep their footsteps away, others will come)
Si lazima, si lazima kung’ang’ania (It is not a must for you to struggle with them )
(Refrain)
