lyrics

Smoke in my eyes and I could not see

Light me up, 'kawakisha moto (you sparked a fire)

Moshi machoni 'kaniacha chongo (smoke in my eyes left me seeing out of one eye)

I'm out of my mind 'kachambua bongo (you scrambled my brain)

Siwezi tambua ukweli ama ndoto (I can't tell reality from fiction)

Ninaugua moyoni (my heart is ill)

Yaani hadi siamini (to the point that I can't believe)

Jinsi ninavyokutamani (just how much I yearn for you)

How could I fall in love with you so deeply?

Hata sio siri (it's not even a secret)

Umenitamalaki (you've got a hold of me)

Umenikanganya akili (you've confused my mind)

Na hata wakisema mi sijali (And even if they talk about it, I don't care)



My heart is on fire

Burning with desire

You're taking me higher

I've never been so inspired

My heart is on fire

You're taking me higher

I've never been so inspired

I think I'm about to flame out

Fire

Smoke in my eyes and I could not see



Light me up, fire's out of control

You caused my heart to overheat until stalled

Or maybe it just skipped a beat, I don't know

But I'm like a fireball that's waiting to explode

Ninaugua moyoni (my heart is ill)

Yaani hadi siamini (to the point that I can't believe)

Jinsi ninavyokutamani (just how much I yearn for you)

How could I fall in love with you so deeply?

Hata sio siri (it's not even a secret)

Umenitamalaki (you've got a hold of me)

Umenikanganya akili (you've confused my mind)

Na hata wakisema mi sijali (And even if they talk about it, I don't care)



My heart is on fire

Burning with desire

You're taking me higher

I've never been so inspired

My heart is on fire

You're taking me higher

I've never been so inspired

I think I'm about to flame out

Fire

Smoke in my eyes and I could not see



You reached down to my soul

Gripped it tight won't let go

You ripped my heart out

And now you've got my heart doing backflips in your palms

Feels so hot in your hands can't keep it calm

Call the fire station ring the alarm

Better pray they get here before we burn



My heart is on fire

Burning with desire

You're taking me higher

I've never been so inspired

My heart is on fire

You're taking me higher

I've never been so inspired

I think I'm about to flame out

Fire

Smoke in my eyes and I could not see
