NAKEI  NAIROBI LYRICS WITH ENGLISH TRANSLATION

INTRO

One of the most listened to Congolese songs in Kenya
Composed by Tabuley and Mbilia Bell.

The Swahili version, translated by Brazos Mpanga Wa Mpanga.

Those who know what rumba is all about know too well that when the theme is to praise a specific person or place, for this case, Nairobi and its government headed by Mzee Moi, a nonrelated story must be created, to provide a narrative, which always has nothing to do with the theme.

Solo done by maestro Dino Vangu
Bass by the late Shaba Kahamba
Rhythm Dave Makondele
Mi solo Brazos Mpanga
Vocals by Songbird Mbilia Bell

NAKEI NAIROBI (I am visiting Nairobi)  LYRICS 

Nayoki Nzambe motindo ya mpasi, ba nyokoli yo
Yaka pembeni nazali se wayo ya motema

(I hear you are being mistreated
Come close to me, for I am yours from the heart) 

Tovandi bomwana, tomeseni nga nayo, Dunia
Tobandi bomwana, kimoninga na miso ya mama

(We grew up together as blossom buddies
Our friendship blossomed since childhood, right in the eyes of our mother) 

Ezali mabe nayoka okomi na pasi naza te
Nakoya na kenya naya kozwa yo tozonga na Kinshasa

( It is sad that I heard you were in trouble but I never came to see you
I am coming to Kenya to collect you sad we can both go back to Kinshasa)

Yaelodi, mapasa, lokumu ya famille toti wapi?
Yaelodi, mapasa, lokumu ya famille toti wapi?

Ya Elodie twin sibling, where is the family honour 
Ya Elodie twin siblings, where is the family honour 

Kikamarade ya bo mwana tangi mosusu elekaka bondeko
Toyebani bomwana, totamboli Kenya mobimba ngai na yo

Childhood friendships are always stronger than brotherhood
We've known each other since childhood, and we've toured the whole of Kenya with you 

Nairobi, Mombasa ah, Nakuru , Kisumu toyebani
Harambee eh, Harambee eh, Harambee eh, Harambee, Nyayo

Nakei Nairobi, po na salisa Duni
Nakei Nairobi; Na ko zonga na Duni

I am headed to Nairobi to help Duni
I am headed to Nairobi and will return with Duni
