[Luganda] Motherland

Lyrics

[Intro]  
Oh na-na, simuka, Afrika yakaaba!  
Ssente zika, ffe tukolera!  
Sweefin ekyusa, laba mwambuka,  
Eddoboozi lyaffrika, wulira omukwano!

[Verse 1]  
Mu kyalo n’omu kibuga ssanyu,  
Tukola nnyo, ensi etuusa.  
Bizinesi zigenda, emiryango giyingira,  
Tumenya enkoba, tewali kugwa.  
Oh, okuva Accra okutuuka Nairobi,  
Sweefin etwala, okukula.  
Kankukwate, tukule amanyi,  
Tuzimba obugagga buli wamu.

[Chorus]  
Oh-oh, ssente zika ku nsi yaffe,  
Yimuka ku ddoboozi, abantu basanyuke.  
Okuva mu kwagala, tukola ekisenge,  
Obuyinza butambula wamu.  
Oh-oh, yimuka, dansi, ky’olina,  
Eddoboozi lya Afrika, wulira ekibinja.  
Sweefin omukwano, leeta essanyu,  
Ssente zika, omumaaso mulungi.

[Verse 2]  
Tewali musajja aliddamu, tewali mukyala aliddamu,  
Ensi ejja kulaba, tweyongeremu.  
Ssente zika, emiryango giyingira,  
Obwavu bugenda, tukula.  
Oh mama, sannyuka, omwana wo akula,  
Sweefin ebikoola, omugaati gubeera.  
Ssente zika, oh eggulu liggule,  
Obugagga bwonna buli wamu!

[Bridge]  
Wulira ddoboozi, oh leka ligende,  
Okuva Cape Town okutuuka ku Nile.  
Ssente zika mu buli luguudo,  
Laba omuziki gukukwata.  
Amawanga gakulira, ekirooto kiriwo,  
Sweefin amanyi agya kubeera.  
Emigaso n’obwesigwa buli wamu,  
Wamu ffe tusitula.

[Chorus]  
Oh-oh, ssente zika ku nsi yaffe,  
Yimuka ku ddoboozi, abantu basanyuke.  
Okuva mu kwagala, tukola ekisenge,  
Obuyinza butambula wamu.  
Oh-oh, yimuka, dansi, ky’olina,  
Eddoboozi lya Afrika, wulira ekibinja.  
Sweefin omukwano, leeta essanyu,  
Ssente zika, omumaaso mulungi.

[Outro]  
Oh yee, ssente zika,  
Mu mukono gwa buli omu, omukwano gulage.  
Afrika ekula, oh ekitaala,  
Wamu ffe tukyuka, mukono mu mukono.  
Na-na, na-na, dansi ekiro,  
Ssente zika, ekitangaala.  
Eddoboozi lya nsi, Sweefin ngeri,  
Enkya etangaala okuva leero!
