Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh na-na, haguruka Afurika!
Amafaranga atemba, duhaguruka!
Sweefin itanga inzira, reba uko tuzamuka,
Umuziki wa gakondo, wumve uko unyura!

[Verse 1]
Uva mu cyaro, ujya mu mujyi,
Turakora cyane, ejo hazaza ni heza.
Ubucuruzi buratera imbere, imiryango irakinguka,
Tumenya ubwigenge, turakata ibihe.
Oh, kuva Accra kugera Nairobi biraseruka,
Sweefin iratanga inzira yo gukura.
Mfata ukuboko, duhagarare twese,
Twubaka ubukungu mu gihugu hose.

[Chorus]
Oh-oh, amafaranga y'imbere y'iwacu,
Byina ku murya, abantu bahaguruke.
Tuvuye mu bwigunge, turasenya urukuta,
Ubushobozi butera imbere.
Oh-oh, byina uhaguruke, ni mu biganza byawe,
Ijwi rya Afurika, wumve umuziki.
Sweefin iratanga ibyiringiro uyu mugoroba,
Amafaranga atemba, ejo ni heza.

[Verse 2]
Nta muntu usigaye, nta mwamikazi usigaye,
Isi izabona, turatembereza.
Amafaranga atemba, imiryango irakinguka,
Ubukene burangiye, turongera kubaka.
Oh mama, smila, umwana wawe azakura,
Imbuto za Sweefin, umusaruro ugaragare.
Amafaranga atemba, ijuru ni ryiza cyane,
Indirimbo y'uburumbuke hose!

[Bridge]
Wumve umuziki, oh ureke utambuke,
Uhereye Cape Town kugeza ku Ruzi rwa Nil.
Amafaranga atemba mu nzira zose,
Reba umuziki utuma urengeza amaguru.
Ibihugu birazamuka, inzozi zirazima,
Imbaraga za Sweefin zizabaho.
Ubucuruzi n'icyizere mu gihugu cyose,
Dufatanye, turaguka.

[Chorus]
Oh-oh, amafaranga y'imbere y'iwacu,
Byina ku murya, abantu bahaguruke.
Tuvuye mu bwigunge, turasenya urukuta,
Ubushobozi butera imbere.
Oh-oh, byina uhaguruke, ni mu biganza byawe,
Ijwi rya Afurika, wumve umuziki.
Sweefin iratanga ibyiringiro uyu mugoroba,
Amafaranga atemba, ejo ni heza.

[Outro]
Oh yee, reka amafaranga atembe,
Mu ntoki zose, reka urukundo rugaragare.
Afurika irazamuka, oh ni byiza cyane,
Dufatanye, dukomere.
Na-na, na-na, byina uyu mugoroba,
Amafaranga atemba araka cyane.
Umuziki wa gakondo, inzira ya Sweefin,
Ejo hazaza haratangira none!
