**Verse 1**
Nelly, m'moyo wanga unalowa,
Unafika ngati mthunzi pamene panali dzuwa,
But you took your love away, went with him instead,
Years passed by, buried tears I thought I’d shed.
Nelly, unandisiya ngati nkhuni zozizira,
I thought the pain was gone, but it lingers like a fever,
Then you came, said you’re sorry for the past,
I forgave you, but the wound just reopened so fast.
**Chorus**
Ohh Nelly, Nelly, why did you break my heart?
Unandipweteka, you tore me apart,
Years later you ask for forgiveness, I forgive you,
But the hurt has come back, knowing you chose him over me, too.
Ohh Nelly, Nelly, was there no love for me?
Moyo wanga uli pamoto, you just let it be.
Now I see you, living the life we could’ve had,
Oh Nelly, my heart's in pieces, I'm just a broken man.
**Verse 2**
Scrolling through your pictures, I see what we could be,
A family, kids, a life so free,
But instead, you chose him, left me in the cold,
Ndinaikika kunja kwa mtima, but now I feel so old.
Nelly, why did you leave without a reason?
Unaleka kusazindikira, just gave me the season.
I lie awake, memories haunting me at night,
And sometimes, yes sometimes, a tear falls in the dark light.
**Chorus**
Ohh Nelly, Nelly, why did you break my heart?
Unandipweteka, you tore me apart,
Years later you ask for forgiveness, I forgive you,
But the hurt has come back, knowing you chose him over me, too.
Ohh Nelly, Nelly, was there no love for me?
Moyo wanga uli pamoto, you just let it be.
Now I see you, living the life we could’ve had,
Oh Nelly, my heart's in pieces, I'm just a broken man.
**Bridge**
Did you ever love me, Nelly? Ndifuna kudziwa,
Kapena chinali chabe, ngati mphepo yakusawa,
I gave you my heart, but it wasn’t enough,
And now I’m left with memories, the pain is rough.
**Outro/Chorus**
Ohh Nelly, Nelly, why did you break my heart?
Unandipweteka, you tore me apart,
I forgave you, but I’m lost in the past,
Knowing you chose him, and I wasn’t your last.
Ohh Nelly, Nelly, was there no love for me?
Moyo wanga uli pamoto, you just let it be.
Now I see you, living the life we could’ve had,
Oh Nelly, my heart’s in pieces, I’m just a broken man.
