# TUMBAYA *Buli Kirooto Kyeetaaga Omuzannyo.* **[INTRO — Engoma Zisooka, Emikono Gikubye, Oluyimba Lw'abakazi Lw'ejjuuzi]** *(Dum… da-dum… clap!)* Nze nkugamba! Gwe nnakwasa! Oli n’ekirooto mu nsawo? Oli n’oluyimba mu ngatto? Kale, kiraga! *(Bass etandika okubwatuka.)* Tum-tum… TUMBAYA! **[CHORUS — EKITONGOLE KY'AFRO-HOUSE EKYAAMAANYI]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Ggya enfuufu, dansa wansi! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Leka ensi yonna egambe, “Genda!” Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Leta ebirooto mu lunaku! Kakadde kimu, Kakadde bbiri— TUMBAYA! Leka ebiseera ebirungi bitandike! **[VERSE 1 — AFROBEATS EZZ'OBUBIINA, GITA YA HIGHLIFE]** Ejjo jjo enkuba yasala Ku kasroof akaali kaetaaga okuddaabiriza. Leero waliyo mmunyeenye, Abantu nebeegatira. Omuntu aleeta akayimba, Omuntu aleeta akatogo. Omuntu aleeta ekigambo kipya Ekitaava mu mutwe. Waliwo mukyala n’akabanda, Omuvubuka ayiga emirimu. Waliwo omwana akuba ebifaananyi Ku luguudo mu kisiikirize. Tewali amanyi eby’enkya, Tewali alina pulaani etuufu. Naye ekirooto kifuka olugendo Bwe tukola ebyo ebitandikirwako. **[PRE-CHORUS — EDDOBI LYA BAKAZI LIYIMUSA]** Oh, tosuubira bibuuzo byonna, Tosubira olunaku olutukuvu. Wasa ekisoboka mu maaso, Leka omuziki kukuleetere. Bw’oba n’obusana obutono, Gabana n’omuntu omuggya. Waliyo ensi y’ebisoboka Bwe wabaawo ekifo kyaffe ffembi! **[CHORUS — LOG-DRUM YA AMAPIANO ENYWEERA]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Ggya enfuufu, dansa wansi! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Leka ensi yonna egambe, “Genda!” Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Leta ebirooto mu lunaku! Kakadde kimu, Kakadde bbiri— TUMBAYA! Leka ebiseera ebirungi bitandike! **[POST-CHORUS — EKIGEZO KYA DANSI ENYWEERA]** Tum! Tum! Hey! Hey! Vva ebweru! Dduka! Dduka! Ba! Ba! Kuba! Kuba! Kyuka! Zzaayo! TUMBAYA! **[VERSE 2 — OLUYIMBA LW'ABAKAZI, BASS EKUBIRA]** Waliwo omulimi n'ebibala, Waliwo omukola n’ekirooto. Waliwo omuyizi ayongeza amagezi, Waliwo omusuubuzi alaba abakozi. Okuva mu kyalo okutuuka mu kibuga, Okuva ku lusozi okutuuka ku nnyanja, Buli muntu alina ekitone N’akakisa okukizuula. Sweefin ekwataganya abantu n’ebisoboka, Ebayamba abasuubuzi okufuna engeri. Engeri empya ez’okutereka, okusuubula, n’okusuubula Zisobola okuggulawo amakisaa buli lunaku. Era bw’omuntu afuna ekkubo, Leka omulala afune eky’omugaso. Waliwo eby’enkya ebiwanguyiza Nga tukola ebitandikirwako. **[PRE-CHORUS — EKIGGWA KYA KWAYA]** Oh, tosuubira bibuuzo byonna, Tosubira olunaku olutukuvu. Wasa ekisoboka mu maaso, Leka omuziki kukuleetere. Bw’oba n’obusana obutono, Gabana n’omuntu omuggya. Waliyo ensi y’ebisoboka Bwe wabaawo ekifo kyaffe ffembi! **[CHORUS — EKITONGOLE KY'AFRO-HOUSE EKYAAMAANYI]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Ggya enfuufu, dansa wansi! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Leka ensi yonna egambe, “Genda!” Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Leta ebirooto mu lunaku! Kakadde kimu, Kakadde bbiri— TUMBAYA! Leka ebiseera ebirungi bitandike! **[BRIDGE — PIANO EY'EBIWANDIIKO, KWAYA Y'ABANA]** If olugendo luwedde luba nga lunene, Bw'oba otaddeko okusinga abalala, Singa ofuna obulungi obutono Mu bifo w'oyagala essuubi. Buli bulamu bufuna ekitiibwa, Buli ddoboozi lifuna oluyimba. Era eby'omu maaso birabika n'amaanyi, Bwe tuyambagana mu kkubo. *(Omuziki gukendeera ku ng'oma emu.)* **[SPOKEN BUILD — FEMALE LEAD]** Ekirooto mu nsawo yo... Oluyimba mu ngatto zo... N'ensi yonna ekulindirira... Okukola ky'oyagala! **[DANCE BREAK — CALL AND RESPONSE]** Lead: Olina ekirooto? Crowd: Yee, tulina! Lead: Olina omuziki? Crowd: Nze naawe! Lead: Ani ayinza kuyingira? Crowd: Buli omu! Lead: Kale nyambula omubiri! *(Ng'oma zikulaakulana.)* Tum! Tum! Kuba! Kuba! Ba! Ba! Kuba! Kuba! Ya! Ya! Vvuunuka! TUMBAYA! Wulira akalulu! *(AMAPIANO BASS DROP ENNYIKIRIZA)* **[INSTRUMENTAL DANCE BREAK — LOG DRUMS, HIGHLIFE GUITAR, FESTIVAL BRASS]** Tum-tum! TUMBAYA! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! *(Ekibiina kiyimba ne muziki.)* **[FINAL CHORUS — FULL FESTIVAL CHOIR]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Kunkumulula n'omuziki ogenda! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Ensi yonna egambe, “Genda!” Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Leta ebirooto byo ku ssaawa! Kakadde kamu, Kakadde bbiri— TUMBAYA! Tandika ebiseera ebirungi! **[OUTRO — WARM HIGHLIFE GUITAR, FADING CHOIR]** Ebirooto lukumi, Ekkubo lukumi. Okwegatta okw'amaanyi, Essuubi buli lunaku. Sweefin etuwa enkola empya, Okutondawo, okukyusa, n'okukula. Tum-tum! TUMBAYA! Buli kirooto kifuna omuziki. TUMBAYA! *(Kuba ng'oma ey'ekikujjuko ey'enkomerero.)*
