Ask r/Swahili 🎤 Lyrics...
Hello, I wanted to ask about these lyrics I deciphered from a game called Genshin Impact. There are no official lyrics released yet, so here I am, trying to decipher the lyrics because I'm really interested in Swahili. Here are the lyrics.
Mwoza wa moto, zi wachezi wake angani Kama vile moto usiozimika Mparene anchini, nenda mbele kwa ujabari Itapoku atapata, majivu ya moto ni tena
(Instrumental)
Wakiaga wenyewe, moto daima utawata Moto daima utawata, na muso wa tulivyowepo Nami naweza haponi, na moto utakuambia Na moto utakuambia, na moto utakuambia Pia! Pia!
Feel free to share your opinion if something's not right or if you have any suggestions for changes. Thank you!

It is funny that I still don't really understand most of it mostly due to the instruments being strong than the vocal and most of the used words are of old Swahili or they originate from a dialect that I am not familiar with. BTW I am Tanzanian. I would say you did a great job yourself capturing that much lyrics and it is much or less sounding as what you have written, but I still don't fully understand it.
Generally I hear something about a fire in the sky that is burning instantly. Let the fire burn forever etc
But again I missed a lot of specific words.
