about

Sami Hooyi means when you're being comforted, cuddled etc in Dholuo. The song warns lovers never to take each other for granted but to appreciate and reciprocate each other. Because if they don't, love turns sour. So when kissed, do kiss back.

lyrics

Biro chopo seche makoro we olore
Wu pogore
Biro tundo kinde makoro we yanyore
Wu goore
Ubo tundie odiechenge ma qu riembere
Okuherere
Obir re, odhigre, ochunre yawa osinre
Olingre, odagre, owuore, yawa ojogore

Omio sami dembi dembi - demba demba!
Omio sami hombi hombi - homba homba!

Omio sami hooyi hooyi - hoya hoya!
Omio sami lombi lombi - lomba lomba!
Omio sami sayi sayi - saya saya

Sikele mama badala ya
vigelegele wasamba mbele
Wasahau nzele majonzi tele umcheza shere
Penzi mshale wlisema, waze wa kale
Ushikwapo shikamana yame
kukuta ya ulimwengu leo twaku karibisha
Kuna kupanda na kushuka na
kicheko na kilio katika maisha
Penzi sipendelee mpenzi wako msoglee umpokelee
Akilia milwaze akicheka mchekeshe, mpenanee
