lyrics

Potea
Tuko michezo ya pata na potea
Potea
Potea
Tuko michezo

Niambie
Nitakacho
Nidanganye kama toto
Maneno matamu yanilegeze

Unicheze
Kama Zeze
Na Bumbumbu
Wafahamu?
Kesi baadaye

Nina hamu
Si uongo
Nafahamu
Hii ni moto
Nimo ndani
Ya michezo
Michezo ya pata na potea

Potea
Potea
Tuko michezo ya pata na potea

Lie, why don't you lie to me ?
You're so pretty when you're telling lies.

TRANSLATION
Lose
Lose
We are in a win and losing game

Tell me what I want
Lie to me like I'm a child
Your sweet words should make me weak

Play me like a Zeze and Bumbumbu
Understand?

Consequences will come later

I desire
It's no lie
I understand
This is fire

I am in a win and losing game

lose
lose
We are in a win and losing game
