Nairobi lyrics with English Translations
This is Kibera
And as the sun sets behind the silhouette of the city
There is a side of Nairobi, Kenya that tourists never see
An ocean of people living in abject poverty
With no running water, sewage or electricity
It's been documented as the largest slum in Africa
There is a place in the heart of the Motherland (Africa) So many livin' in poverty that I just can't understand They used to live like kings but now they're slaves to the system They used to rule as warriors but now they're the victims
Woe Nairobi, woe Nairobi We're calling the warriors who are fighting for justice Calling emancipators, come on and help us
Make shift zinc houses, that is where they sleep Full up of diseases and the stench of the rubbish heap Civilized people just fighting for the dollar Surrounded by evil living in a squalour, Nairobi
Woe Nairobi, woe Nairobi We're calling the warriors who are fighting for justice Calling emancipators, come on and help us Woe ya ya, oh ya ya ya
So what you gonna do? What you gonna do to make a difference? Utafanya nini? Utafanya nini? For the situation?
What you gonna do? What you gonna do to make a difference? Utafanya nini? Utafanya nini? To solve this problem
Ooh wele, ooh wele, ooh wele It starts with you and me Ooh wele, ooh wele, ooh wele It starts with you and me
Woe Nairobi, woe Nairobi We're calling the warriors who are fighting for justice Calling emancipators, come on and help us
We're calling the warriors We're calling emancipators Oh yes we're calling the freedom fighters Just come on and help us, oh yeah
So what you gonna do? What you gonna do? Utafanya nini? Utafanya nini? So what you gonna do? What you gonna do? Utafanya nini? Utafanya nini? To solve this problem
Mola wangu nisaidie (My God, help me!) Maisha huku Kibich ni magumu (Life in Kibera is hard!) Tafadhali nisaidie (Please help me!) Nitafanya nini (What can I do?)
