Thread Name: Lyr Add: Malaika (Fadhili Williams Mdawida)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Malaika - lyrics and chords
One has to be a bit careful about literal translations. The line "Nashindwa na mali, sina we" literally meaning "I am defeated by wealth, without you" could probably be better rendered as "I am worth nothing, without you". The phrase "without you" (sina we) is an important part of the statement.
