Lyrics

Mmm
Nyumbani
Oh, I'm homesick
Oh-oh-oh
Take me back
Penthouse view but it don't feel like home
Foreign city lights but I'm feeling alone
I got everything I prayed for, still something missing
The smell of mama's kitchen and the sound of her singing
Nakumbuka nyumbani, I remember the place
Dusty roads and the laughter, my grandmother's face
Traded the village for the fortune and the fame
But at night I just whisper my old street name
Homesick, homesick, so far from my roots
Homesick, homesick, chasing all these pursuits
Nyumbani na niita, home is calling me
Wander whole wide world but I miss where I'm meant to be
Homesick for the place that made me
Homesick for the arms that raised me
All this gold, all this shine, all this fame
But I'd trade it for a day back where I came (Ooh)
Homesick, nyumbani, my heart
Every mile that I fly keeps us further apart
Homesick, homesick, take me home
No matter how high I fly, I'm never done
Longing for home (Ooh)
They don't cook it like mama, they don't say my name right
Speaking foreign all day, dreaming home every night
The friends that I grew with, we don't talk no more
Different worlds now between us, they don't knock on my door
Nilipondoka the day that I left
Promised I'd return but success got me kept
So I'm sending this money and I'm sending this song
But money can't buy back the years that are gone
When the fame gets too heavy and the nights get too long
I close my eyes and I'm back where I belong
Nyumbani, nyumbani, the place that my heart never left
Kupa took me far but home's what I kept
For the place that made me (Ooh)
Homesick for the arms that raised me (Ooh)
All this gold, all this shine, all this fame
But I'd trade it for a day back where I came (Ooh)
Homesick, nyumbani, my heart
Every mile that I fly keeps us further apart
Homesick, homesick, take me home
No matter how high I fly, I'm never done
Longing for home (Ooh)
Nyumbani, take me home
No matter where I roam
Homesick for the soil, homesick for the sun
Kupa, but my heart's back where I'm from
