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.

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

Limerick: Once a Belly-Dancer in Cairo
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.

Now she wiggles in jelly limbo.
