Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Rauka jamaa, kumekucha
Miaka kumi na sita, kidato cha kwanza
Pokea salam, siku mpya
[Verse 2]
Insider za kwanza, zasifiwa boma
Kaipokea tetesi, mwaja shule ni wikendi
Barua uliyoituma imeshasoma na
Sijaweza kupumua, moyo wangu waridhika
Sijaweza kupumuaa
[Chorus]
Hapo zamani nikajua ningekuoa
Hapo zamani ukiambiwa
Unapendwa (Waamini)
Ukipendwa (Una imani)
[Verse 3]
Nilikuwaza sana michana kutwa
Wewe sukuma mimi ugali wishwa
Na tulipendana kinyama
Nikaipokea tetesi, una mwingine
Akula mishikaki, aishiye kifahari
Mi sikuweza kupumua, moyo wangu kavunjika
Sikuweza kupumua
[Chorus]
Hapo zamani nikajua ningekuoa
Hapo zamani ukiambiwa
Unapendwa (Waamini)
Ukipendwa (Una imani)
[Verse 4]
Sikujua, miaka kumi na sita
Siyo miaka, ya kuelewa dunia
Sikujua, miaka kumi na sita
Siyo miaka, ya kuelewa mahaba
Woyoo
Woyoo
[Chorus]
Hapo zamani nikajua ningekuoa
Hapo zamani ukiambiwa
Unapendwa (Waamini)
Ukipendwa (Una imani)
