[Luganda] Upbeyond

Lyrics

**[Intro — Distant Choir, African Drums, Rising Synth]**

Eh-oh, eh-oh!  
Wulira ebigere bijja!

Okuva ku luguudo lumu okutuuka ku lukumi,  
Wulira omuyimba gukonkona ku mulyango.

Oh-ya, oh-ya!  
Wulira abantu nga bayimba?

Genda, genda, waggulu!  
Leka obulungi bulagge!

**[Verse 1 — Percussive Afrobeat Groove]**

Ekiro ekisembayo, ekyeyo kyaka ku luguudo,  
Enkya eno ebigere nkumi.  
Abatalina ddoboozi kati bagamba,  
Bafuluma n'okukulembera.

W'awali bbugwe, tukola emiryango,  
W'awali okubuusabuusa, tubuuza ebisingawo.  
Nga Sweefin etuusa abantu awamu,  
Abasinga basobola okukola, okusimba n'okuyiga.

Loto yonna si ntono kutandika enkyukakyuka,  
Obulamu bwonna si wala okukyusibwa.  
Tetuyinza kulinda eggulu eritukuvu,  
Tuyinza okuzimba nga enjuba etandika.

**[Pre-Chorus — Handclaps and Rising Harmonies]**

Wulira? (Wulira!)  
Oligwa? (Oligwa!)

Ekintu kirungi kiri mu kkubo,  
Waliwo ekifo kyaffe ffena.

Gwewala, yamba mukwano,  
Leka oyo aloota ayimirire.  
Nga ensi yonna ekyayimba,  
N'eddoboozi entono livaamu amaanyi!

**[Chorus — Explosive Global Dance Hook]**

Genda, genda, waggulu!  
Leka obulungi bulagge!

Kankanya omubiri gwo, yimba oluyimba luno,  
Buli omu ajje awamu!

Genda, genda, waggulu!  
Leka ebisenge ebikadde bisanyewo!

Hey-oh, hey-oh, tweyongere,  
Laba emikisa egitwala!

Upbeyond! Upbeyond!  
Leka omuyimba gubeerewo!

Omukono omulala, omukisa omulala,  
Wa ensangi yonna emikolo!

**[Post-Chorus — Festival Crowd Chant]**

Oh-ya-ya! Oh-ya-ya!  
Buli omu, gamba
