“Mduara” lyrics

Mduara, mduara
Nafasi ipo katikati

Viti vyote pembeni
Leo nafasi inahitajika
Umesimama na marafiki
Unasema hujazoea
Tumeanza wawili tu
Sasa wote wamekaribia
Hapa hakuna mashindano
Njoo uweke hatua yako

Mduara, mduara
Nafasi ipo katikati
Mduara, mduara
Sasa wewe, njoo karibu

À ton tour
On est ensemble
Take your time
Show us your step

À ton tour
On est ensemble
Take your time
Show us your step

À ton tour
On est ensemble
Take your time
Show us your step

À ton tour
On est ensemble
Take your time
Show us your step

Uliingia kwa aibu
Sasa unawaita wengine
Hata yule aliyekaa
Anataka kujaribu
Bibi anapiga makofi
Watoto wanakuiga
Umeleta hatua mpya
Tunaifanya wote sasa

Mduara, mduara
Nafasi ipo katikati
Mduara, mduara
Sasa wewe, njoo karibu

Unataka kurudia?
Tuko tayari
Unataka kurudia?
Tuko tayari

Mduara, mduara
Nafasi ipo katikati
Mduara, mduara
Sasa wewe, njoo karibu

À ton tour
On est ensemble
Take your time
Show us your step

Mduara, mduara
Wote tumekutana
Mduara, mduara
Bado tunacheza
