Mwaki Lyrics
Na nīguo mūthee akoragwo mwaki (And the way my father is hot-tempered)
Na nīanjīrīte ndigakūhikie (He had told me not to marry you)
Anyona mūciī nīekūrakara (When he sees me home, he will get mad)
Nake arakara ye ndahotaga (And when he get’s mad he is uncontrollable)
No, no, no uthamire (You just have to vacate)
Mwanake, mwanake no, no uthamire (Young man, young man you must vacate)
Na nīguo mūthee akoragwo mwaki (And the way my father is hot-tempered)
Na nīanjīrīte ndigakūhikie (He had told me not to marry you)
Anyona mūciī nīekūrakara (When he sees me home, he will get mad)
Nake arakara ye ndahotaga (And when he get’s mad he is uncontrollable)
No, no, no uthamire (You just have to vacate)
Mwanake, mwanake no, no uthamire (Young man, young man you must vacate)
