Sally Mwalr - Anataya (Official Audio)

Some people lose diamonds in search of stones.
s...
This is a song about subtle human tendencies that define the level of contentment and happiness we're going to have for the rest of our lives. Not everyone walking into your life is a passerby. Some people really care so much and when we lose them, we've taken a path that will always have us looking back wondering what would have been. Again... not everyone in your life is replaceable.
VERSE 1:
If you believe in me, am gonna build a world for you
We’ll make it higher - and higher
( Here you’re trying to beg someone
to stay with you because you really see a future with them.
)
CHORUS:
Ena anali nawo mwayi (some had they chance)
Anataya (they threw it away)
Anali nawo mwayi otikonda (They had the chance to love us)
Anataya (they lost it all)
Tinali nawo mayi (We were with them, my-)
Eya, anatiswaya (yeah, they snubbed us)
Ankatipondeleza (They used to oppress us)
Anataya (they lost)
(The phrase "Anataya" is repeated,
emphasizing the theme of missed opportunities or wasted
chances. The lines suggest that some people had the chance
for love or success but let it slip away, leading to regret and
loss.)
VERSE 2:
No, there’s no way you can walk with me,
And then I let you go
I’ve given you, my life; my heart, and time
(You are using every expression you can find in the world to beg someone to stay because they mean so much to you. You're telling them how much they mean to you and that they are not a mere option as they may think.
Emphasizes the commitment and
investment made by the singer in a relationship. It
expresses reluctance to let go of someone who has been
given so much. It’s deeply expressing that “am not the sort of person who
will use you and let you go…” I truly mean to stay with you…
It’s begging to have you in their life)
CHORUS:
Ena anali nawo mwayi (Some had the opportunity)
Anataya (They let it slip away)
Anali nawo mwayi otikonda - anataya
Tinali nawo mayi - eya, anatiswaya
They used to humiliate me - anataya
BRIDGE:
Most of the time we wreck - we break
Our standards are high for the people that truly care
So, we get a bye-bye; a bye-bye
(Highlights the reality of the lives we lead in our lives.
We push good people till they have no choice but to leave.
Not because they don't care, but we've told them a million times through words and actions that we don't need them in our life.
They walk away while loving us.
We tend to ignore those who adore us and pay more attention to those who ignore us. Reflects on the tendency to push away those who genuinely
care for us. And the self-destructive patterns that can
emerge in relationships. It suggests that high standards for
love can lead to missed opportunities and eventual
goodbyes)
CHORUS:
Analinawo mwayi - anataya
Analinawo mwayi oti’konda
Anataya (They had the chance to love us - they let go)
Tinali nawo mayi - anatiswaya
Ankatipondeleza, uh - Anataya
Anali nawo mwayi, uh - Anataya
Anali nawo mwayi wotikonda - Anataya
Tinalinawo mayi - anatiswaya
You know, they used to humiliate me, uh
Overall, the song explores the complexities of relationships, the consequences of taking love for granted, and the
pain of missed chances. It conveys a powerful message about appreciating what we have before it's too late
