THE SOUNDS OF THE RIVER DRUMS---part 1

AS THE SOUND OF THE BEAT GOES, TUM, TUM, TUM
As the sound of the drum beats boom, boom, boom
Running river waters streaming;
heading down the valleys screaming
Flowing where it may swallow;
Birds swooping down, pecking off the bodies of fishes surfacing now floating;
Waves calling out the names of those that swam away, got away;
Waves of the waters  shallow waters turbulence rushing waters;
Avoid that premise says

Chini ya mkondo ukimbilia dhidi ya magogo dhidi ya mabenki ya mto
Kwa upole tunasikia ngoma za mawimbi zinapiga juu yao huko pwani;
Kwa upole tunasikia ngoma tum, tum, tum, boom boom;
Tum,
     Tum,
        Tum,
Sauti ya ngoma za mto;
Je!
Sauti ya ngoma za mto, wito;
Wao wanaita majina yetu;
Sauti ya ngoma za mto;
kupiga tum, tum, tum;
Sauti ya ngoma za mto;

Down the stream rushing against the logs against the river banks
Quietly we hear the drums of the waves beating on them there shores;
Quietly we hear the drums tum, tum, tum, boom, boom boom;
Tum,
     Tum,
        Tum,
The sound of the river drums;
Do toll
The sounds of the river drums, call;
They are calling out our names;
The sound of the river drums;
beat tum, tum, tum;
The sounds of the river drums;


Chini ya mkondo ukimbilia dhidi ya magogo dhidi ya mabenki ya mto
Kwa upole tunasikia ngoma za mawimbi zinapiga juu yao huko pwani;
Kwa upole tunasikia ngoma tum, tum, tum, boom boom;
Tum,
     Tum,
        Tum,
Sauti ya ngoma za mto;
Je!
Sauti ya ngoma za mto, wito;
Wao wanaita majina yetu;
Sauti ya ngoma za mto;
kupiga tum, tum, tum;
Sauti ya ngoma za mto;

gimme sum mutual praise

All them there people's of the world;
Coastal dwellers praising; All day long, all the day long;
Rejoicing, and repenting of their wrongs.
Everybody on the islands;
Everywhere on the coastal Regions on the seas, lakes, oceans, everywhere;

Sawahil praise;
Boundary dwellers

Islanders playing  bongo-drums and tambores
Imani-faith
Kusudi sabatu purpose, purpose
Rejoicing, and repenting of their wrongs.
Everybody on the islands;
Everywhere on the coastal Regions on the seas, lakes, oceans, everywhere;
Sahil  praise;

Boundary dwellers

People dancing, praising and praying all day this is their Swahili praise;

Swahili verse>
jumla Gimme kuheshimiana sifa
jumla Gimme kuheshimiana sifa
jumla Gimme kuheshimiana sifa
Kwao kuna watu wote wa dunia;
Wakazi wa pwani kumsifu; Mchana kutwa, mchana kutwa;
Kufurahi, na kutubu makosa yao.
Kila mtu katika visiwa;
Kila mahali katika mikoa ya pwani ya bahari, maziwa, bahari, kila mahali;
Sahil sifa;
Sawahil sifa;
Wakazi wa mpaka
kukamata mbingu amefungwa;
Wakaazi wa visiwani kucheza bongo-ngoma na tambores
Imani-imani
Amejenga sabatu lengo, lengo
Kufurahi, na kutubu makosa yao.
Kila mtu katika visiwa;
Kila mahali katika mikoa ya pwani ya bahari, maziwa, bahari, kila mahali;
Sahil sifa;
Sawahil sifa;
Wakazi wa mpaka
kukamata mbingu amefungwa;
Watu kucheza, kumsifu na kuomba siku zote hii ni sifa yao ya Kiswahili;
