lyrics

English:

Dickson Omuranda, I’m worried
Who will you live with?
All your neighbors at home hate you
You were born many in your family
But today I’m sad to say that you are the only one who remains
Dicky, who will you live with when all your neighbors are so cruel?
This Mama Doris is a very sad woman
Because every one of her children has been swallowed by the grave
Please Mama Doris, we are praying that God protects you
And leaves behind Dickson Omuranda, who is your eyes
Dicky, who will you live with when your neighbors are so cruel?
Please Mama Doris we are praying that God protects you
And leaves behind Dickson Omuranda, who is your eyes
My Luhya brothers,
You will have to answer for every man
Who shuns his neighbor’s child
Dicky, who will you live with when all your neighbors are so cruel?

Swahili:

Dickson Omuranda nasikitika utaishi na nani?
Majirani wote uku nyumbani wanamchukia eh
Mlizaliwa wengi nyumbani kwenu oh mama.
Na siku ya leo tunasikitika umebaki mmoja eh
Dicky eh, utaishi na nani? Majirani we nao ni wabaya
Huyu Mama Doris ana huzuni kwa kuzaa watoto
na kila mmoja kona nne imemumeza eh
Vane Mama Doris khukhusairie Nyasaye akhulinde
Akhuleshere imoni iyo Dickson Muranda
Dicky eh, utaishi na nani? Majirani we nao ni wabaya
Vane Mama Doris khukhusairie Nyasaye akhulinde
Akhuleshere imoni iyo Dickson Omuranda
Avaluhya vanje muulire kalivamarevo.
Uvuli yesi ulenyanga mwana wa washie
Dicky eh, utaishi na nani? Majirani we nao ni wabaya
