Brother and the Woman-Yaya Ne Likhasi Translated
Fattened and fattened,he became gigantic
His nails so sharp,like the rodents
The belly you may think,a full pregnancy
And the coughing,my father’s son difficult
Years haven’t gone much
Before marrying selfish woman
Who walks shaking clumsily
Like she got another job,yet my brother
Before dad disappeared to nowhere,and mother
Slowly depleting her prowess
My brother could come home,carrying no sympathy
He could give some cash,banging the chest
What of a woman behind him?
She skips home being pushed,banging her chest
Praising oneself and,really praising herself
Just because she,above my mother
Hehee!Her husband fell from the skies
The turn for a family meeting,family blood
Ceremonious circumcision to take tea,evil spirits
Now if Satan gave birth to you
Your second name Satan
Nonsense,stupidity unhygienic wife
Banging the chest,stupidity alone
The head a mere shell,full of dirty water
whoever wiped,your dirty back
Do you surpass?
They shut themselves inside,to consume sweet stuffs
She fetches to cook with,forbidden tree branches
Does ugali water boils?
Because of her Wechuli never appears home
Nine months last year,she swell the cheeks
Just like mandazi,moving in a zigzag
A blind worm
For I was in my brother’s house to eat
For I kept being around
In-law I wonder,if it is not night running
Your people you brought,my mother welcomed
You came from nowhere,a daughter she welcomed
Now her old age,you call the shrinking one
She yawns in loneliness,her son’s you constipate of
When in the shamba,my in-law I sympathize
She can lodge around,moving but barely
Weed for your in-law,I pull up trouser I weed
And come the harvest,her people her people
Stop disrespecting people,brother and wife
Stop outrageously aging,shun and avoid
Righteous Jesus,was Joseph the father?
And dad you call Evil!My ribs you break
My teeth exposing
You can’t deny your people,which is blindness
Disrespect you call respect,your hard earned myopia
Stupidity dirtiness,bankruptcy of the knowhow
Your age mates slap silly wives
With an under cloth she hits your head
Hehee hahaa!Brother open your eyes
At home with your laptop,your children just pass
Grandparents home they call,neighbours in a ditch
Attention bro! On your knees bend,blind one look
Let people know you,return to your roots
As I complete to finish,no silly house develops
Stupidity the rubbish sticking,on ugali manufacturing pot
Can you scratch pour there,rub that completely
Return to your dead father,your sirer to be fortunate
