My Girl (Mami Wandi) – Freely translated:

CHORUS:

Mami wandi wilayumfwilo ubulanda

My girl, don't feel sad
Ngatausekelemo kwisa twaikala, twalanda

When you are not happy let's sit down and talk
Ngapali icilekuchusha kumutima solande

If there's something troubling your heart, come and let it out
Ngapali icilekucusha kumutima iso unjebe

If there's something troubling your heart come and let me know
Mami wandi wilayumfwila ubulanda ngatausekelemo kwisa twaikala twalanda

My girl, don't feel pity for yourself, when you are not happy let's sit down and talk
Ngapali icilekuchusha kumutima solande

If there's something troubling your heart, come and let it out
Ngapali icilekucusha kumutima iso unjebe

If there's something troubling your heart come and let me know

Ngawapona mufilamba wilatila napo ine ndomfwa bwino

When you burst into tears, don't imagine that I feel good about it
Nshishiba limo nganidufyanya, eico ulelanda

There are times I'm not aware I have wronged you, so do say something
Tabasunga cikonko kumutima iyo mayo,ukatolo umupamba

Bottling it up just brings bad luck
Tabekala tondolo ngapali ifyo umwene ifishilolelemo

Don't hold your peace when you notice something is out of place
Ilingi filya ngamuli babili kusubila mumunobe

When you are in love, you trust your partner
Tecakwesho ukulanda amalyashi yenu babili fye kunse

It's best not to go confiding in outsiders
Pantu neo umwene ati munobe, u useka na sana

Because even the one you think is your merry friend
Akatwala umusebanya kubantu bambi nebo tawaishiba

Is the one who goes spreading your shame
Isa ntotosha kumatwi solande icilekucusha shi wilatina mami wandi iwe

Come, whisper in my ear, tell me what is eating you up, don't be afraid my girl

(Chorus)

Oh oh.. Ukumfwana mulifyonse iye, kulangusha ubwikalo, baby

Harmony in everything makes life easy, baby
Ukwambana ni "normal" fye nga telyonse

A bit of friction is normal, as long as it is not prolonged 
Ilingi bapatana palya ngafyabipa – mumfula, mukasuba tube nensansa

Love is lost when there are misunderstandings – rain or shine, let's be cheerful
Tufwile twatangilisha fye ukutemwana

Let's put love ahead of everything
Chawama apo wafulwa walanda, naishiba ati nimbifya

Better let me know when you are upset, so that I'm aware that I have hurt you
Ukucila uli tondolo nefyo taulefwaya ulesumina

It's better than keeping quiet and just going along where you disagree
Twaba babili pano panganda, nganshalekufwaya nganaba neka

There's the two of us in this home. If I didn't love you I would be living on my own
Tenshya baby wandi twaba ngo umuntu umo

Take care, baby, we are as one
Isa, ntotosha kumatwi solande icilekucusha shi wilatina mami wandi iwe

Come, whisper in my ear, tell me what is eating you up, don't be afraid, my girl

(Chorus)

Awe wilatina, isa ntotosha kumatwi solande icilekucusha, shi wilatina mami wandi iwe

No, don't be afraid, Come, whisper in my ear, tell me what is eating you up, don't be afraid, my girl

Isa ntotosha kumatwi solande icilekucusha, shi wilatina mami wandi iwe

 Come, whisper in my ear, tell me what is eating you up, don't be afraid, my girl

(Chorus)
