about

Domestic violence is a common social ill. Wamama is a call to all women to stand up against it and for men to respect women.

lyrics

Chorus

Wamama semeni tumekata x 4

Wacheni kutesa wamama
Wachen iKutesa wake wenu
Mke wako sio adul yako
Mke wako ni mpenzi wako
Ailtoka kwa mwilli wako
Wamama mnatulisha
Nyini ndie mnatulea
Kutubeba miezi heshima
Wamama....

Chorus

Umeowa mke, umemtupa hapo na hautaki kujuwa
Mkigombana unamfukuza nakesho yake kuoa mwingine
Umewacha mke wako kwanyumba nakuotea wajirani
Ama waflani
Ukiulizwa wakota wapi
Nihasira wa anzavita

Chorus

Usimdharau mke wako
Nyumbani anapika
Usimwone akiosha viombo
Ukadhani ni mjinga
Ni mtu amesoma ingawa ametuliza
Umgurumia kama simba kwanyumba na amenyamaza
Usidhani ni mjinga nahata kumcharaza
Skiu ataisha utabaki ukiwaza Bila mume mke anaweza
Lakini bila mume mke anaweza
Lakini bila mke mume huteleza sana
