Translation of The Song "Maliaka" A Swahili love Song

Malaika Angel Malaika, nakupenda Malaika.
Angel, I love you Angel.

Malaika, nakupenda Malaika.
Angel, I love you Angel.

Nami nifanyeje, kijana mwenzio,
And I, your young lover, what can I do.

Nashindwa na mali sina, we,
Was I not defeated by the lack of fortune,

Ningekuoa Malaika.
I would marry you Angel.

Nashindwa na mali sina, we,
Was I not defeated by the lack of fortune,

Ningekuoa Malaika.
I would marry you Angel.

Pesa zasumbua roho yangu
Money is troubling my soul

Pesa zasumbua roho yangu
Money is troubling my soul

Nami nifanyeje, kijana mwenzio,
And I, your young lover, what can I do,

Ningekuoa Malaika.
I would marry you angel.

Nashindwa na mali sina, we,
Was I not defeated by the lack of fortune,

Ningekuoa Malaika.
I would marry you Angel.

Kidege, nakuwaza kidege.
Little bird, I dream of you little bird.

Kidege, nakuwaza kidege.
Little bird, I dream of you little bird.

Nami nifanyeje, kijana mwenzio,
And I, your young lover, what can I do,

Nashindwa na mali sina, we,
Was I not defeated by the lack of fortune,

Ningekuoa Malaika.
I would marry you Angel.

Nashindwa na mali sina, we,
Was I not defeated by the lack of fortune,
