about

This is a letter to my love.
After coming to Nairobi from Mombasa, things became tough financially. I wrote her this letter to encourage her to be patient, things would work out.

lyrics

Nya malo yie ikony chunya
Rit mondi mondo iresa mama
Bet piny buta mondo imaka
Hoori moss moss ihoya

Dhier omaka neko bende dwa chaka
Pap oduwre kik ideu wabo suwre
Oberana in ema heri nyaka hirna
Ling alinga to ngama chandi en nga
Kingima kik badhi mirima
Huye huye huye huye huye!

Chorus

Am in a valley, going down the river
Lucy my darling just be a believer
Am going hunting, I bring a lions liver
You see my lovely your man is an acheiver
Don't cry oh mama, I'll be home nana
Don't cry oh, I'll be home

Chorus
