Sibadili nia yangu, nilipopashikilia
Sibadili mwendo wangu, kinyume kukuendea
Sibadili pendo langu, mwengine kumgaia
Na kwanini nibadili, na jambo sikuzoea
Huna unacho nikhini, vyote unaniridhia
Sibadili kwa shilingi, sibadili kwa rupia
Sibadili walo wengi, mmoja kukiachia
Sibadili raha nyingi, kwa shida itotokea
Na kwanini nibadili, na jambo sikuzoea
Huna unachonikhini, vyote unaniridhia
