    Fatou, wangu mama (Fatou, my lady)
    Nilikwelezeyaka oh mama,
    Fatou, wangu mama
    Mapenzie ya kwetu eeh (This love of ours)
    haita tawi hata mama (Will not survive much longer)
    Mapenzie ya kwetu eeh
    haita tawi hata mama
    Tabia yako na yangu (Your character and mine)
    haisikilizani (Are incompatible)

    Mimi sina pesa oh Fatou we (I have no money, oh Fatou)
    Nipe mali (Borrowing money)
    Sizoe (I do not want to become a regular at this)
    Niuwe mutu (Kill someone)
    Nipate dawa ya feza (So that I can find a way to wealth)
    Niuwe mutu
    Watanifunga (The man will surely lock me up)
    Niuwe mutu
    Thambi kwa Mungu Baba (That's a sin against the Lord God)
    Kama hunipendi we (If you do not love me as I am, then)
    Uende lote mama (Be completely gone, my lady)
    Kama hunipendi we
    Uende lote mama
    Shauri yako, shauri yako eeh (Its your problem)
    Shauri yako, shauri yako eeh
    Shauri yako
    Wende lote Zena wangu (Be completely gone, my lady)
    Siwezi kuua mutu mama (I cannot kill a soul, my lady)

    Kama hunipendi we
    Uende lote mama
    Kama hunipendi we
    Uende lote mama

      I would say in this case 'Shauri Yako' translates better as "it is up to you'' (it's your decision to make or it's your choice) ... the other one 'it's your problem' is not wrong per se, I just think in this context this is more appropriate to say 'it is up to you' because the man is saying to her 'you decide/choose' (accept me as I am or leave)

    I'm 46 years old
    And when I was growing up, my Parents would play this song when they hosted friends. It was always a vibey atmosphere.
    Christmas 2021 we danced to this song. I didn't know that would be my last Christmas with them both.
    They passed away 2022 June, a few days apart.
    This song represents both my childhood and my last Christmas witj Mom and Dad.

    I'm glad to have known Super Mazembe. I love these Swahili songs although I don't understand some of the words. We should keep this kind of music for the generations to come and never let it get overshadowed by foreign music.
    It's unfortunate today's youths believe this music is for the old and deserves to be scrapped from modern society. Music never expires, it carries it's relevancy all the time.
    I met a beautiful young lady from Tanzania. She told me she spoke Swahili. With my interest in Swahili music, the only thing I hoped would connect us, I sang her Sina Makosa by Les Wanyika. She liked the fact that at least I knew something that depicted her culture. But I was disappointed when she criticised me for listening to such music which she labelled as outdated.
    In Zimbabwe, where I come from, I grew up listening to East African music. I've always loved this kind of music and Kanindo.
    I'm still in my 20s but i'll always cherish this kind music and my love for it goes beyond borders.
    I penda (love) you watu wote wa Africa. I hear my Venda tribe migrated from Central and East Africa, maybe it's the blood that ties me to the East. 🇿🇼😊🇿🇼

    Orchestra Super Mazembe was a popular band based in Kenya playing Lingala ( Soukous ) music. The band had roots in Super Vox, a band formed in 1967 in Zaire and led by Nashil Pichen Kazembe, Mutonkole Longwa Didos. The band moved to Nairobi in 1974 and changed its name to Orchestra Super Mazembe.
    Their biggest hit was "Shauri Yako", a cover song originally performed by Nguashi Ntimbo and Festival Du Zaire. Other popular songs included "Samba", "Bwana Nipe Pesa" and "Kassongo". The group was disbanded in 1985.
    Super Mazembe is considered as one of the golden era of Kenyan Lingala music acts alongside Les Mangelepa , Baba Gaston and
    Samba Mapangala .
