about

Nyaktiti is a big snake in Luo mythology. it seduces Achieng', the village chief's daughter , and warns her not to tell anyone of the engagament, or she ould be swallowed. But when people question her she spills the beans.

lyrics

Booooh Nyandalno
Nyaktiti to ema ogoona ngerono

Achieng' was her name because she was born in daylight
Daughter of ruoth, a chief, a girl very bright
Rateng' ka mudho to lake tar racharr dhirr
Till a big snake befriended the aughter of nyipirr
Achieng' nyamam I love you but only you and I should know this alone and if not you will die
baby give me a chance she nodded thuol let me try
Here nopoto Achieng' never told a lie
Season after season many questioned her action
Spilling all the beans to her self destruction

Chorus

Kiwinjie ka thuol lounge jabber kiwinjie
Achieng' nyaber nyagotoyo kuma intie
To tienda gima acham atuoni baba donge yie
Gir thim omuonyo dacha omiyo awerie
Athongo wadwa kiwinjie amal luongi

Achieng' ma dear how sweet is that zombie
Beauty and the beast is that your story

Chorus

Waya penja ni ng'ama ogooni ngerono
Day penjo ni ng'ama ogooni ngerono
Kwara penja ni ng'ama ogooni ngerono
Mama penjo ni ng'ama ogooni ngerono
Baba be penja ni ng'ama ogooni ngerono
Neera penja to ng'ama ogooni ngerono
