Baobab kneel, baobab weep
Mnyamaa kadumbu
Now baobab sleep
Akili nyingi
Huondowa maarifa
Like baobab tree
Walk as baobab do
Watu wote waezaliwa huru
And speak like baobab, too
Mnyamaa kadumbu
Walk as baobab do
Watu wote waezaliwa huru
And speak like baobab, too
Mnyamaa kadumbu
Baobab kneel, baobab weep
Mnyamaa kadumbu
Now baobab sleep
Baobab sleep
Baobab sleep
Translation:
Mnyamaa kadumbu = One who keeps silent endures
Akili nyingi huondowa maarifa = Great wit drives away wisdom
Watu wote waezaliwa huru = All human beings are born free
