Lyrics
THE SPEAR
Ayele ma yele ma yele ma yele
Ayele ma yele ma yele ma yele
Ayele ma yele ma yele ma yele
Ayele ma yele ma yele ma yele
Hey, owulira ekitagururo
Hey hey, Bwekata bwekata, engoma sisakata
Bwebata bwebata,
Tuzina patapata leka nkutikule enkata oluguride ku pata
Ewamwe enyange ziyita akasana muyota wano egalabi zivuga
Taata alina tata Taata alina Taata alina tata
Omuzeyi akota kota bwatontoma ebyayita
Ngo olwo mother ne daughter bakankanya obutuliro
Ayele ma yele ma yele ma yele
Ayele ma yele ma yele ma yele
Ayele ma yele ma yele ma yele
Ayele ma yele ma yele ma yele
Nankasa kitagururo
Netuyimusa ebisinziro
Leero muliro tuzina gaba ancestor
Amazina gagata, abaddu ne ba master
(pause with instrumentation)
Slow oba faster, bwonkwata tonta
Dancing on the altar kata nfe nyonta
Wine! Nze taster gwesogola letta
Unity twegata olwo netulata
Bwewaberawo aluleta amafumu gamufumita
Tusala nga jilita
My people are flowers its ours ba protector
So put down your phones and smell the nectar
Yingira village sector
Ondaba yeba
Ondaba yeba
Ondaba yeba
Ondaba?
Kanemu kanabiri kafumba mwanyi kata konkome malangaja kanakwale ofumba otya
Ani bulijo kiki kambale bale ekumi liweze
One more time
Kanemu Kanabiri
Kafumba mwanyi kata konkome malangaja kanakwale ofumba otya
Ani bulijo kiki, kambale bale ekuumi liweze
Let go of negativity
Join the festivity
Return to purity
Embrace diversity
Lets build a new city for all of humanity we are sons of the light
shining through obscurity
Come lets gather the tribe
Vibe in the spirit of Ubuntu
We come alive
To Liberty, freedom we subscribe
Joy and the rhythm we prescribe
Reach deep into your essence and discover the poetry that God inscribed
The truth has to be felt and not described
Esawa etuuse time has arrived
You have survived
Bwebata bwebata engoma nga zekata
Bwebata bwebata tuzina pata pata leka nkutikule enkata olugulide ku pata
Ewamwe enyange ziyita akasana muyota
Wano engalabi zivuga.
