[Verse 1]
You run away, you run away
Whenever I get close
You run away, you run away
What are you running for

Baby, why do you go
When I know you wanna stay
We tulia we tulia

[Pre-Chorus]
We unakimbia we unakimbia
Ila kaka najua najua unanit
Bonna unakimbia we unakimbia

Sema why do you go
Why do you go away
Now hear me say

[Chorus]
You give me kizunguzungu we

You run away, you run away

You run away, you run away
Keep coming back for more

[Pre-Chorus]
We unakimbia we unakimbia
Ila kaka najua najua unanitaka
Bonna unakimbia we unakimbia
