This is the story of Ohangla Man, who was used to eating at his neighbours' and drinking free beer, free chang'aa, free busaa, free munzai and free muratina and always seducing vilaage women so he goes away hoping for the same in America Listen: Nikweli Ma Sipendi Kejeli Ma Sipendi Nikweli Ma Sipendi Sipendi Ma Sipendi x 2 Sitarudi naenda Amerika kutafuta Dola Sitarudi naenda Uingereza Kutafuta Pauni Sitarudi naenda Japani kutafuta Yeni Sitarudi naenda Uropa kutafuta Yuro Sitarudi naenda zanguwe kutafuta Shillingi Bye bye Afrika, ma mama land Bye bye Kenya we, ma homeland Bye bye bye bye, aah ah! Bye bye! Just like euku ng'aa lilo ng'aa Loki ji oyaro yamo n'ali kede jame So is Makadem wuod gi aboke Life olokore na ataro Ing'ong' wang'l - yawa ing'ong'wang'i x2 Ol' ma bags are packed and intact, I'm out of here for big money, Ji oola gi wachona gik moromo atim, Nobody helps you nobody cares, Ing'ong wang'l yawa ing'ong' wang'i Chorus Ohangla man goes to suffer, The visa was for three months is expired The man has no friends The man realizes that he needs to live there with money And the place is very very hard to deal with Very very cold, very far away from his mother, his friends Nikilia yelele - wanansema wololo Nikicheka yekeke - inakuwa ni wololo Order, I tell you that Ohangla man in America He is stranded; he has no visa and no green card You know what he has overstayed his visa So he decides to go underground But they catch up with him Andy they've decided to deport him back home Back to Africa the poor fellow has practically nothing to return to Akitaka wembe mtoto amaze apewe dawa x3 Obusama othire Amatoke othire Kuon re thire Sukama wiki othire Everything othire, everything is money Urafiki othire x2 Emawe mawe!! Natamani kwetuwe x4 Goodbye America Bye bye Deutschland Goodbye England, Bye bye Italia x2 Sitarudi Amerika jamani ni wananfiki, Sitarudi Uingereza jamani ushoga mwingi, Sitarudi Japani jamani kuna ubaguzi, Sitarudi Uropa jamani ni kubaridi x2 Goodbye Amerika.... Good bye, Good bye!

I say give me back that comb I comb my hair Give me back that comb I comb my hair Jaluo my borther, good morning japolo Life in the city, not easy after all You come to my brother, I give you my comb One two three days by you borrow my mirror And when I ask why bro, you off to carnivore And now you're telling your sister, you really in need of cash To pay your rent and to buy cigarettes And when you get some shilling You're off to carnivore Chorus Jaluo nyam nyam, gor biro number one Koti kod long marachar, koth biro jacani And now your telling your mother, to give you some salt, She gives you some salt, she even gives you some sugar And now your telling your dad, baba I need a piece of land He says to start a home, you need a spear and a shield Your neighbour says a lot, enough to fill a paper roll You are the joke of Carnivore Even the talk of Carnivore Chorus She goes up up up up up up She goes higher She goes down down down down down She goes under We go side by side Left right centre
