A song about the death of George Mukabi, written and performed by Peter Akwabi

lyrics

by Peter Akwabi, announcing the death of George Mukabi

ENGLISH:

Josiah Ombogo had a car
And gave us a lift to Ebuhonga
And in the company
Of our beloved Malenya
We took him
To the funeral function of George Mukabi
When we arrived at Emulunya village
Glancing at Mukabi’s grave,
Mister Malenya
Could not control crying
He said: “Where is my George?”
Those from Butsotso location were very bad people
For if George The Rock
Were in his home place Kisa
They would not have managed
To cut him into pieces
Like the logs of trees
That are used for building houses

SWAHILI:

Josiah Ombogo namotokaa yake
Alitubeba kutoka Ebuhonga
Sisi tulikuwa
Na Malenya wetu
Tukimpeleka
Kwa matanga ya George Mukabi
Tulipofika mji wa Emulunya
Tulikaribia kwao George
Bwana Malenya
Alipoona Kabwri
Alilia sana George wangu amekwenda wapi?
Watu Butsotso ni wabaya sana
Walikata George kama mti
George mwamba
Angalikuwa Kisa
Wasingemkata
Kama mti wa kunjenga mjumba
