Hi, everyone. Here's an Afro-Pop song by Ugandan singer, Julie Ssesanga, that I co-wrote. https://songwhip.com/julietssesanga/ssekanolyaJulie sings in the Luganda language (of Uganda, East Africa). Here's the translated lyric - SSEKANYOLYA (the long-necked bird. Flamingo) 1. Agenda n’akuwana-wana, naawe n’omegerera. He flatters you and you melt. N’akuwa kano na kali, nga ta sibye namu. He gives you this and that (goodies), with no breaks. Buli kizibu ky’omugamba, akola neyemala yo. He deals with all your material problems. N’omatila nti teli kibi ekiva ewuwe. ..and you are sure nothing can go wrong between the two of you. 2. Lab’akulimba, n’akutuga. Ngamba ggwe, kiwuggulu. He deceives and confuses you. You empty head. Wefudde kiggala maaso. Oga kutte mu ngalo. You have blinded and deafened yourself from reason Lwaki tolab’ewala, nga Ssekanyolya, oyo. Why don’t you be foresighted like a flamingo (Ssekanyolya)? Gw’owalampa, amaka goyonoona, watya nga Maama wo? What if it were your mother’s marriage being invaded this way? Bridge Oy’ akulimba, w’enkana n’abaana be. His children are your age. Enkya akuleka, nne bw’okaab’amaziga. Tomorrow he will leave you, no matter how much you cry. Nn’ekaakuzadde mu, awo teli akutunula mu. With his baby, you will not attract any other man. N’abaana b’ali bakukyaawa. Wa daaza Maama w’abwe. His children hate you. You messed up their mother’s marriage. Musical interlude (guitar and/or sax) 3. Bannange, njagala mube nga Ssekanyoly’oyo. Young women, I beseech you. Be long-sighted like the Flamingo. Agenda mpola n’alaba wal’ate nafun’ekyokulya. The Flamingo moves steadily, carefully, is long-sighted and is able to fend for itself. Temufuuka biwuggulu. Amaaso n’obwongo mubikozese nga Don’t be short-sighted. Use your eyes and brains. Mbalabula nti ebirungyi bya bugumiikiriza Know that good things come to those who wait Mbalabula nti ebirungyi bya bugumiikiriza Know that good things come to those who wait Mbalabula nti ebirungyi bya bugumiikiriza Know that good things come to those who wait Lyric & melody by: Josephine Namuddu-Mukasa & Raymond Byabazaire
