Smells like mangoes

When I close my eyes it smells like mangoes
If I really try I feel the rain-drops
In my head there is a little boom-box
Playing me the music that I like
I sing along like yeah!
I don't know why it smells like mangoes

Dry eyes will see the day

Mwana wa mama sema nisikie,sikio nimetega
(Mother's child speak to me, my ear is listening)
Nipe uhondo,unieleze
(Give me the info, explain it to me)
Umemla ngombe mzima, usishindwe na mkia
(You've eaten the whole cow, don't give up at the tail)

I feel I just woke up to the light of dawn
I played with fire and now I feel so warm
I've had enough it's time to go home
Amka kumekucha vuta pazia
(Get up its dawn, draw the curtains)
Ahadi ya kesho imetimia
(The promise of tomorrow has been fulfilled)
Siko shambani
(I'm not in the fields)
Nilirudi nyumbani
(I returned home)
Siko shambani
(I'm not in the fields)
I've had enough
Nimetosheka
(Im fed up)
I've had enough
Nimeridhika
(I'm satisfied)
