Dzaleka

Dzaleka 

like children
dancing and singing in the rain 
we warm up our souls
and erase the scars of our sores
with dance and tunes of love

Jambo wandungu Na marafika
happiness is key
it melts our depression
and kill our differences

like siblings
we share joy and pain
together we paint a scene
even with our remorse unseen 

life is worth a smile 
Dzaleka is the place I call home 
while hoping for a new dawn 
let only the beat of amahoro drums
reign in my veins.

Nasikika Nikisema

Mpenzi, mbona wanitupilia mbali?
Na kuniacha katika ziwa la mashaka,
Kisha nikapata mawazo kwamba,
Nasikika nikisema
Labda kuna sababu,
Kuhusu hilo jambo,
Lakini ikiwa ni hivyo,
Nasikika nikisema
Hatua fanya nipate furaha,
Mpenzi, kwani kwangu kusikia uzoefu,
Angalau ningeambiwa nini kiendeleacho.
Nasikika nikisema

Once a Belly-Dancer in Cairo
Tried to wiggle her way through Fado
Only thing she had on
Was a navel button:
(Now) Fado mambo-jambo Oporto.

Once a Belly-Dancer in Cairo
Tried to wiggle her way through Fado
Only thing she had on
Was a navel button:
Now she wiggles in jelly limbo.
