Tuwaokoe Watoto, Kote duniani
(Save the children, the children of the world)
Tuwaokoe Watoto, Wasichana na wavulana
(Save the children, the little boys and girls)


Mama analia kwa uchungu mwingi, Amekosa lishe lenu tena
(Your Mummy cries tears of pain, she’s got no food for you again)
Ajaribu sana njia zote, Bila mabadliko kila siku
(She tries hard to find away, but nothing changes everyday)
rafiki zako ni vile vile, ni maisha kweli ama mzaha
(All your friends live the same, is this life or just a game)
dadako pia naye haelewi, mbona hamna chakula huku
(Your sister doesn’t understand, why there’s no food in this land)

Tuokoe Watoto, Twokoe Watoto 
Save the children Save the children
Twokoe Watoto duniani
save the children of the world.


Dunia hii ya raha nyingi
(In this world, of so much fun)
Tuwajali wale wasio nayo
(Spare a thought for those who’ve none)
Haujachelewa kwaangazia, wasaidie kwa magumu yao
(It’s not too late to shine your light, help them through the darkest night)
Tujenge dunia iliyo bora kwa wavulana na wasichana
(We need to build a better world, for the little boys and girls)
wote twafaa kuwa sawa, tukomeshe mateso na njaa
(Everyone should be the same, no more hunger no more pain)
