about

This song is about a village drunk who likes drinking madafu (a traditional giriama brew). He then complains to women for failing to find a suitor.

lyrics

Nanyua madafu mama sina vita na mutu
Kelele, kelele mama si kelele' X2
Nanyua madafu mama sina vita na mutu

Kijing, kijing, kijikibo
Everybody needs a goodtime
Kijing, kijing, kijikibo
Everybody needs a goodtime,
every man
He needs a woman fulltime
All the others I see having goodtime
From villages to big towns having goodtime
Kijing, kijing, kijikibo
I wonder why don't women love me
Or is it because I am a very short man
Or is it because they think I am a very ugly man
Or is it because they think I am a very poor man
Or is it because they think I got no any money
Down in Afrika a lot of women
From Swaziland to Sudan many ladies
Down in South Africa a lot of girls
In my homeland Kenya very beautiful ones
Kumba kumba - x4

Kalamba jiggy
Kalamba jiggy jiggy jiggy boh
Kalamba jiggy, kalamba jiggy x 4

Sijapaata we, sijapata mke x 3
Sijipaata we, sijipaata bibi eh
annaye ni panda mama eh
Kamuona mchonyi, akani acha
Nikamuoa muhindi, akani acha mama
Kamuona muzungu, akani acha
Nikamuoa mujaluo, odhi oduogo
adagi
