Full Lyrics of “Sukari” by Zuchu

Nimemlambisha
Ananiambia chombeza (Chombeza)
Tena nikiizidisha
Ananiambia koleza (Koleza)
Nikitaka kusitisha
Ananiambia ongeza (Ongeza)
Japo imedhibitishwa
Ila itampoteza

Chorus
Ikipanda ni balaa (Naogopa)
Ikishuka ndo hatari (Naogopa)
Asijepata madhara (Naogopa)
Akaikosa na hali (Naogopa)
Ladha yake msala (Naogopa)
Shira ya Kizanzibari (Naogopa)

Na mi simnyimi mi wala
Akitaka nampa
Aii sukari (Nampatia)
Ah sugar sukari (Nampatia)
Sukari (Nampatia)
Ah sugar sukari (Nampatia)
Sukari (Nampatia)
Sugar sukari (Nampatia)
Sukari (Nampatia)
Ah sugar sukari (Nampatia)

Verse 2
Na akilia njaa
Ju njaa sifanyi ajizi
Namjazia jar
Ju jaa na vitangawizi

Baba chanja, baba chanja (Eeeh..)
Chukua vyote chukua (Eeeh..)
Vitafune nganja nganja (Eeeh..)
Chagua mwaya chagua (Kula)
Ujiboosti na karanga ee (Eeeh..)
Tuliza na kitumbua (Eeeh..)
Jihadhari na majanga wee
Usije ukaugua maana

Chorus
Ikipanda ni balaa (Naogopa)
Ikishuka ndo hatari (Naogopa)
Asijepata madhara (Naogopa)
Akaikosa na hali (Naogopa)
Ladha yake msala (Naogopa)
Shira ya Kizanzibari (Naogopa)

Na mi simnyimi mi wala
Akitaka nampa
Aii sukari (Nampatia)
Ah sugar sukari (Nampatia)
Sukari (Nampatia)
Ah sugar sukari (Nampatia)
Sukari (Nampatia)
Sugar sukari (Nampatia)
Sukari (Nampatia)
Ah sugar sukari (Nampatia)

Bridge
Nimroge kwanini kashaninogea
Dambua, dambua
Utamu wa sukari ni tamu kolea
Dambua, dambua

I say my boo dambua (Dambua)
We dambua (Dambua)
Halua halua (Dambua)
We dambua (Dambua)
Nasema da dambua (Dambua)
We dambua (Dambua)
Nawa kama unafua (Dambua)
Kiguru nyanyua (Dambua)
