Ikawa mchawi kijijini
Akataka watumwa wengi
Watumwa wangapi hakajui
Mchawi akaona mwanaume
Mchawi akampa pombe
Mchawi akafanya msukule
Msukule akafanya kazi usiku
Akachinja nguruwe na kuku
Watu hawakasikia kitu
Asabuhi msukule akachoka
Mchawi akakwambia toka
Msukule akaacha shoka
Usiku pia akakata gogo
Msukule akalala fofofo
Maisha ni kama mkopo
Hivyo ilivyo
...
There once was a witchdoctor in the village
He wanted many slaves
How many slaves, he didn't know
The witchdoctor saw a man
The witchdoctor gave him alcohol
The witchdoctor made him a zombie
The zombie did work at night
He slaughtered pigs and chickens
People didn't hear anything
In the morning, he was tired
The witchdoctor told him to go away
The zombie let go of the ax
At night he also chopped a log
The zombie slept soundly
Life is like a loan
That's the way it is
