Mumbai Nights

(City sounds of Nairobi – matatu horns, people talking in Sheng, and upbeat percussions)
Vocal sample (Sheng):
"Hii ni usiku wa Nai, sherehe hakuna kulala!"
(Translation: "This is Nairobi’s night, no sleeping at the party!")
(Upbeat dhol beats fused with African drums build into the rhythm)
Verse 1 (Sheng):
Singer 1:
Nairobi nights, kila mtu kwa keja,
Juu ya mtaa, juu ya keja, twacheza,
Mat za mtaa zina glow kwa kelele,
Watu wako fresh, shash na madenge.
Twende Westy ama hadi Tao,
Sheng kwa midomo, haturudishi nyuma now,
Bas za Nai zina light, see the style,
Nai ni Nai, tunadunda all night.
Pre-Chorus (Sheng/English):
(Catchy rhythm building up)
"Weka volume juu (higher), let’s feel the vibe!"
Chorus (Swahili):
Nairobi nights, tunasaka mabeste,
Kila kona ya Nai ni sherehe,
Tukitembea Tao hadi Westie,
Nairobi nights, vibe yenyewe ni bestie.
(Dhol and saxophone play over Afrobeat drums)
Verse 2 (Sheng):
Singer 2 (Sheng):
Nai iko live, tuna groove hadi subui,
Sheng kwa kelele, twacheza juu ya roofi,
Floss kama king, twaflow kama Nile,
Kila base na keja, twaleta hii style.
Mafans wa Nai, tunasaka heshima,
Kwenye street ya Nai, tumefika na stamina,
Dunda kwa beat, make the night complete,
Nairobi nights, bring the heat to the street!
Drop (Instrumental):
(Banga-inspired rhythm mixed with Sheng vocal chops and EDM beats)
Chorus:
Nairobi nights, tunasaka mabeste,
Kila kona ya Nai ni sherehe,
Tukitembea Tao hadi Westie,
Nairobi nights, vibe yenyewe ni bestie.
(Chorus fades out with matatu sounds and dhol beats)
