Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Jua kali linang'aa, Nairobi ina joto (The sun is shining bright, Nairobi is hot)
Lakini watu wanawaka moto, wana mzuka wa plot (But the people are on fire, with a plot in mind)
Kutoka Eastleigh mpaka Westlands, kila corner ina story (From Eastleigh to Westlands, every corner has a story)
ya hustle na kusherehekea, chini ya anga la bluu ya glory (of hustling and celebrating, under a glorious blue sky)
(Chorus)
Nairobi, oh Nairobi, city ya vibes (Nairobi, oh Nairobi, city of vibes)
Mu موسیقی (Muziki - Music) inatupeleka juu, matumbo yote yanacheza (takes us up, all the bodies are dancing)
Nguo zinang'aa, watu wanapiga makofi (Clothes are shining, people are clapping)
Nairobi usiku, ndio furaha ya kweli (Nairobi at night, that's real joy)
(Verse 2)
Carwash za mtaani zinatoa mabling bling (Street car washes are making cars bling bling)
Nyama choma inauzwa, hewani kuna harufu nzuri (Roasted meat is being sold, the air smells delicious)
Mama mboga wanapiga kelele, zinauza mboga mpya (Vegetable vendors are calling out, selling fresh vegetables)
Nairobi ni mchanganyiko wa sauti, lakini wimbo ni tamu (Nairobi is a mix of sounds, but the song is sweet)
(Chorus)
Nairobi, oh Nairobi, city ya vibes (Nairobi, oh Nairobi, city of vibes)
Mu موسیقی (Muziki - Music) inatupeleka juu, matumbo yote yanacheza (takes us up, all the bodies are dancing)
Nguo zinang'aa, watu wanapiga makofi (Clothes are shining, people are clapping)
Nairobi usiku, ndio furaha ya kweli (Nairobi at night, that's real joy)
(Bridge)
Kuna matatu honking, lakini hiyo ndio beat ya mtaa (There are matatus honking, but that's the beat of the street)
Watu wanatembea kwa miguu, lakini wote wana furaha (People are walking, but everyone is happy)
Nairobi ni mji wa nguvu, na moyo wa Kenya (Nairobi is a city of strength, and the heart of Kenya)
(Chorus)
Nairobi, oh Nairobi, city ya vibes (Nairobi, oh Nairobi, city of vibes)
Mu موسیقی (Muziki - Music) inatupeleka juu, matumbo yote yanacheza (takes us up, all the bodies are dancing)
Nguo zinang'aa, watu wanapiga makofi (Clothes are shining, people are clapping)
Nairobi usiku, ndio furaha ya kweli (Nairobi at night, that's real joy)
(Outro)
Nairobi, usiku mzuri, tunapenda jiji letu (Nairobi, beautiful night, we love our city)
