LYRICS:
Na uwezo wangu kwa jamii
Mikono zangu mwanamke
Nashukuru mimi nikisali
Nakuza upendo na Kujali
Vidonda zangu ndizo pambo
Mabegani mwangu mwanamke
Imara mie nasimama
Nafsi yangu yainuka
Mimi dada, mama hata nyanya
Ninangalie macho yangu
Utajua mimi si tu lebo
Ila mimi, mwanamke
Mimi, mwanamke
Mimi dada, mama hata nyanya
Ninangalie macho yangu
Utajua mimi si tu lebo
Ila mimi, mwanamke
Mimi, mwanamke
TRANSLATION:
With my strength in the society
My ‘womanly’ hands
I am grateful as I pray
I grow to love and care
My wounds are decorations
On my shoulders I a woman
Firmly I stand,
My soul rises.
I am a sister, a mother, and even a grandmother.
Look at my eyes
You will know I am not just a label
But I am, a woman.
I am a woman
I am a sister, a mother, and even a grandmother.
Look at my eyes
You will know I am not just a label
But I am, a woman.
I am woman
