Watoto wa Mama N'tilie

Mambo vipi, Tanzania? Eeh baba!
Sikiliza ngoma hii, inatoka moyoni!
Jua kali linawaka, sokoni anasimama,
Moshi mwingi unafuka, jasho chini linadondoka,
Mama lishe anakwenda, bila viatu anasonga,
Anatafuta sarafu, watoto wapate tonge.
Ole wetu jamani, umaskini unafunga pingu! Kali sana!
Watoto wa Mama N'tilie, wanakimbia mitaani, Ayee!
Kalamu zao chini zimeanguka, shule hawapo nchini,
Wanalia njaa usiku, maisha yamejaa gizani,
Nani atawasikia? Nani atawatoa shimoni?
Peter na Zita barabarani, wamekosa mwelekeo,
Wizi na dawa za kulevya, ndio umekuwa mwendo,
Gerezani wanajaa, wengine wanapoteza maisha,
Ndoto zao zimezimika, kwa kukosa malezi bora.
Ole wetu jamani, kizazi kinapotea gizani!
Watoto wa Mama N'tilie, wanakimbia mitaani, Eeh baba!
Kalamu zao chini zimeanguka, shule hawapo nchini,
Wanalia njaa usiku, maisha yamejaa gizani,
Nani atawasikia? Nani atawatoa shimoni?
Amka sasa jamani! Serikali tazameni! Twende!
Hawa siyo chokoraa, ni taifa la kesho asilani!
Tuwape elimu bure, tuwape upendo moyoni,
Ili na wao wainuke, wafike kileleni!
Watoto wa Mama N'tilie, wasikimbie mitaani, Safi!
Kalamu zao zishike tena, warudi shuleni,
Wasiulie njaa usiku, mwanga uingie nyumbani,
Sisi sote tuwaokoe, tuwatoe shimoni! Bongo!
