Lyrics of All Around This World version

Suhuba ya dai, suhuba ya dai, suhuba ya dai, suhuba ya dai
I have to tell you there is too much talking
You’re in my heart now I can not let you leave
I can not let you leave, I can not let you leave!
You must remember, not everything is useful
All that is useful, is for you to love me

Bi Kidude sings Suhuba Ya Dai
