كلمات
[Verse 1]
Ninatazama anga, naona vumbi tu
Mto umekauka, samaki hawarudi
Mama anasubiri, mtoto anauliza
Kwa nini leo mioyo imegawa?
Kwenye mlango wa jirani, kuna machozi
Kwenye meza ya familia, kuna kimya kizito
Tulipoteza njia, tukauza huruma
Tukabaki na sauti za hasira
[Pre-Chorus]
Lakini bado nasikia
Mnyororo ukivunjika
Bado nasikia
Watu wakisema sasa
[Chorus]
Upo wapi? (upo wapi?)
Upendo jamani, upendo jamani
Hakuna liendalo sawa
Imetoweka, amani duniani, amani duniani
Upo wapi? (upo wapi?)
Upendo jamani, upendo jamani
Turejeshe leo
Amani duniani, amani duniani
[Verse 2]
Kwenye vumbi la barabara, watoto wanacheza
Wakiwa na ndoto kuliko chakula
Mzee wa mtaa ananipa hadithi
Alisema dunia hupona kwa mikono safi
Usiniambie kesho, leo inaniuma
Usiniambie baadaye, machozi yanaongea
Kama moyo ni nyumba, fungua dirisha
Uingie mwanga wa rehema ndani
[Pre-Chorus]
Lakini bado nasikia
Mnyororo ukivunjika
Bado nasikia
Watu wakisema sasa
[Chorus]
Upo wapi? (upo wapi?)
Upendo jamani, upendo jamani
Hakuna liendalo sawa
Imetoweka, amani duniani, amani duniani
Upo wapi? (upo wapi?)
Upendo jamani, upendo jamani
Turejeshe leo
Amani duniani, amani duniani
[Bridge]
Tuinuke, ndugu
Tushike mikono
Tusiseme ni wao
Leo ni sisi
Tuinuke, dada
Tufute chuki
Kama mvua ya kwanza
Ishuke juu ya jiwe
[Final Chorus]
Upo wapi? (upo wapi?)
Upendo jamani, upendo jamani
Hakuna liendalo sawa
Imetoweka, amani duniani, amani duniani
Upo wapi? (upo wapi?)
Upendo jamani, upendo jamani
Turejeshe leo
Amani duniani, amani duniani
Oh why, oh why
Tukosee tena?
Oh why, oh why
Turejee nyumbani?
Ninatazama anga, naona vumbi tu
Mto umekauka, samaki hawarudi
Mama anasubiri, mtoto anauliza
Kwa nini leo mioyo imegawa?
Kwenye mlango wa jirani, kuna machozi
Kwenye meza ya familia, kuna kimya kizito
Tulipoteza njia, tukauza huruma
Tukabaki na sauti za hasira
[Pre-Chorus]
Lakini bado nasikia
Mnyororo ukivunjika
Bado nasikia

[Chorus]
Upo wapi? (upo wapi?)
Upendo jamani, upendo jamani
Hakuna liendalo sawa
Imetoweka, amani duniani, amani duniani
Upo wapi? (upo wapi?)
Upendo jamani, upendo jamani
Turejeshe leo
Amani duniani, amani duniani

النمط من الموسيقى
Reggae ya ujumbe wa dunia, mid-tempo swung one-drop with warm guitar skanks on offbeats and a rolling bassline; verse stays sparse with dry drums and hand percussion, pre-chorus lifts with harmony answers and filtered organ swell, chorus opens with stacked group vocals on the anchor phrase. Lead vocal is close-mic and heartfelt with delay throws on key words, plus call-and-response ad-libs in parentheses. Ear candy: short dub echo tails, a rimshot pickup into each chorus, and a soft horn stab before the final hook. Mix is warm, spacious, and rootsy with a clean modern shine., reggae
