WINDSONG
From the film "Mighty Joe Young" (1998)
(Will Jennings / James Horner)


Imba wimbo 
Wa upepo
Wakati unajiwa na

Imba wimbo wa upepo
Wakati ndoto tamu

Lala mpaka usiku uisheni
Upepo wa usiku
Wimbo wanko na

Wimbo wangu inaendelea milele


*****


ENGLISH TRANSLATION:


Sing a song 
And for a moment
You will be visited by the wind

Sing a song 
And for a moment 
Dream sweetly of the wind

Sleep now until the night is dawn
The wind and the night song, they are there
However the song, my child, will go on forever.
