lyrics

English:

There is a dancing style called Sekusee
Sekusee, Sekusee, Sekusee
It’s a dancing style that is found at our home
Some men disturb their homes
Because they dance this style called Sekusee
Sekusee, Sekusee, Sekusee
They dance it with those small ladies
We call some girls “small ladies”
Small ladies, small ladies,
these small ladies are disturbing people’s homes
If you go to Butere you find them there
If you go to Mumias you find them there
If you go to Kitale, you find them there
Small ladies, small ladies,
These small ladies are disturbing people’s homes [repeat]
Now I want to tell you the story of small ladies
One day I was standing there at Shianda
There was also another old man standing there waiting for small ladies to board
Msamaria [bus] to take them to Mumias
Little did they know that the wife of that old man had boiled water and sat waiting
for them, so when they arrived, the wife poured hot water on the small lady and
she got burnt very badly
And someone also went to tell my wife Ana and so she came and when she met me
on the road, she picked up a firewood and kicked me with it. Pi!
[Fanuel Amimo]: Bring that picture and give it to these young men so that they
understand how things were those days

Luhya:

Ovushino vundi vulangungwa Sekusee
Sekusee Sekusee Sekusee
no vushino vulio wefwe mama
Avatsatsa vandi vanyasinthia matala kavwe
Khulovushina vulangungwa sekusee
Sekusee, Sekusee, Sekusee
vushinungwa na ndogo ndogo
Avakhana vandi valangungwa ndogo ndogo
Ndogo ndogo, ndogo ndogo ndogo ndogo
vanyasinthia matala ka vandu
Kata no thia Butere vane no nyola valio
Kata no thia Mumias vane no nyola valio
Kata no thia Kitale vane no unyola valio
Ndogo ndogo, ndogo ndogo,
ndogo ndogo vanyasinthia matala ka vandu
Lano kho ndenya khuvirakho mahuwa ka ndogo ndogo
Khatsatsa inyanga lindi ndali ndiemire Shianda alia
Inyola naye mzee wundi khandi yesi uemire tha avuene alia
alindanga ndogondogo valindanga msamaria ni vathia Mumias
Kha naye mkhasi ali uteshre amathsi
Ma naarula ilia na amathsi yasamba ndogo ndogo yalia vutinyu
vya makana
Khandi naye uwundi ali yakhathsia ingo yavira mkhayo wanje
Ana khandi vukane naye na kho atola lukhwi yetha. pi!
Okpicha kulia shiwavikhakho tawe waesia vasiani ava vasomakho
isiri yali ilia
