Mvua inakuja! Mvua! (heya heya heya)
The earth is cracked,
the air is dry and still
Every head
is turned toward the hill Kiyowe cha radi,
upepo unavuma
Feel the first drop fall on the dust (ahhh)
Mvua inanyesha, ardhi inapona! (ooh-ooh)
Drink in the water,
the green will return
Kila kiumbe kinaimba kwa furaha!
A week of rain,
the yellow grass turns gold
The greatest story
that the plains have told
Mimea inakua,
mito inajaa (yelele)
Every creature lifts its head to the sky
Mvua inanyesha, ardhi inapona! (ooh-ooh)
Drink in the water,
the green will return Kila kiumbe kinaimba kwa furaha!
Ardhi yetu
imefufuka! (imewa, imewa!)
