about

A cover of one of George Mukabi's most beloved songs, performed by his son Johnstone.

lyrics

by Johnstone Mukabi, son of George Mukabi

ENGLISH:

It isn’t a piece of cloth!
A child isn’t like
A piece of cloth that you’d
Just borrow from anyone
If you don’t have one
That’s when you’ll realize
And cry
Me, George, the Rock
I keep crying
I do not have one!
That’s why I’m crying!
Odongo Nzofu, Nzofu died
And all of Kashira clan
Keeps crying because of him

SWAHILI:

Si nguo
Utaomba mtu
Mtoto si nguo
Utaomba mtu baba
Kikosa wakoee
Utalia sana mama
George Mwamba sina wanguee
Nakosa wanguee
Nihalia sana mama
Odongo Nzofu, Nzofu wafwa
Kashira wote
Wanalia sana mama
