MOON

Why don't you stay

A little while?

Why don't you play 

A little while?

The moon is out and shining in your eyes

I haven't felt like this since I don't when

I want to stay in the magic of this night

When the sun comes up a new day begins

Why don't you say

You love me child?

Let's just sashay 

A little while.

The moon is out and shining in your eyes

I haven't felt like this since I don't when

I want to stay in the magic of this night

When the sun comes up a new day begins

Why don’t we dream  

A little while?  

Let starlight beam  

And hearts beguile.  

The moon is soft, a melody it plays,  

I’ve never danced so free, so full, so light.  

We’ll hold this tune through all the coming days,  

Even as morning steals away the night. 

Kwa nini usikae  

Kidogo tu?  

Kwa nini usicheze  

Kidogo tu?  

Mwezi unang'aa, macho yako yanameremeta,  

Sijawahi kuhisi hivi, sijui lini tena.  

Natamani kubaki katika sihiri wa usiku huu,  

Jua likichomoza, siku mpya huanza.  

Kwa nini usiseme  

Unanipenda, mtoto wangu?  

Tucheze taratibu  

Kidogo tu.  

Mwezi unang'aa, macho yako yanameremeta,  

Sijawahi kuhisi hivi, sijui lini tena.  

Natamani kubaki katika sihiri wa usiku huu,  

Jua likichomoza, siku mpya huanza.  

Kwa nini tusitafute ndoto  

Kidogo tu?  

Nyota ziking'aa  

Na mioyo ikifurahi.  

Mwezi ni mpole, unaimba melodi nyororo,  

Sijawahi kucheza kwa uhuru hivi, kwa furaha kubwa.  

Tutashika wimbo huu siku zote zinazokuja,  

Hata alfajiri itakapochukua usiku.
