This song on the podcast was originally composed by Fadhili Williams (I think) and later sung by the Acapella group – SANADI – who changed the words to reflect Kenya’s current (mambo) status. Sung here by yours truly and uaridi.

NB: Please note that an essential requirement is that while listening to the song, you must sing (or even hum) along. Go on. Give it a go.

KIJANA

Kijana
Tangu umepotea
Kule rahani
Rudi upesi x2

Kijana
Rudi uone
Nchi yetu Kenya
Sasa kweli
Mambo
Yameharibika x2

Kijana
Ile Kenya yetu
Tulioipagania
Sasa imeuzwa x2

Kijana
Rudi uone
Nchi yetu Kenya
Mabepari wa Marekani
Ndio watawala x2

Kijana
Hii Kenya yetu
Ya watoto wetu
Tutaikomboa X2

Kijana
Rudi upesi
Nchi yetu Kenya
Wafanya kazi na wakulima
Wataikomboa X2

Brief translation
The song is a call to Kenyans. The country our freedom fighters died for has been sold to imperialism and can only be liberated by collective effort.
