We been drinking up our feelings dancing round the fire
We been laughing holding hands and singing kumbayaya

We up all night, all night, all night (Kumbayaya)

Majorie nginyire atia gûkû diuí Kumbaya ya ya
(They ask me, how I got here, but I don't know, Kumbaya ya ya)
Mûtwe gûthigûka maitho dirona nikubaya
(My head is spinning and I can’t see clear it's getting bad)
Ganyua muratina na dinyuaga gûtukanírwo
(I drank muratina and I don't drink I'm confused)
Nadona Kamau nie gatheka na timurugarû
(And when I see Kamau I laugh because he's not cute)
Dinyuaga johi
(I don't drink)
Dinyuaga johi nié
(For me I don't drink)
Kamau aheire johi
(Kamau got me drunk)
Kamau aheire johi nié
(Kamau got me drunk)
Na dinyuaga johi
(Oh I don't drink)
Dinyuaga johi nie
(For me I don't drink)

Kamau aheire johi
(Kamau got me drunk)
Kamau aheire johi nié
(Kamau got me drunk)
