Lyrics and translation David Lutalo - Ensi




Ensi
Ensi
Oooh oh ooh
Oooh oh ooh
Eeh ah my Uganda
Eeh ah my Uganda
Watandika ddi emize emikyamu?
When did you start this bad behavior?
Uganda apaana nedda!
Uganda please stop it!
Mukwano gwange gwe manyi obulungi
My love, you know you're better than this
Uganda nedda tatta
Uganda, please father
Ebyo byambe by'ani by'owagaza obusungu?
Who told you to embrace wickedness?
Akuwaga ani akulimba?
Who lied to you?
Gwe wakuza maama wange ne taata
You raised my mother and father
Ne ba jajja gwe eyaboola
And my grandparents, the ones who spoiled me
Watwagala nnyo watulabirira
You loved us so much, you took care of us
Ng'okuba yenna atuŋŋoola
As if we were all yours
Yeggwe gwe tumanyi totwefuulira nno
You're the one we know, don't change on us
Tugambe kiki wanyiiga?
Tell me what's bothering you?
Oh bambi sorry!
Oh honey, I'm sorry!
Suula ebyambe wansi obusungu bungi
Put down your anger, it's too much
Oba ssi gwe oli
Maybe it's not you
Owange gwe manyi ono emitaafu mingi
The you I know has so much love
Twatandika ddi okweteekera kamyu mu doodo?
When did you start behaving like a fool?
Ensi yaffe ssi bwetyo
Our country is not like that
Mu mazima kuva ddi nga tusalagana nga nkoko?
Seriously, when did we start fighting like chickens?
Ensi yaffe ssi bwetyo
Our country is not like that
Ndowooza twesulika
I think we've lost our way
UG bw'eti ssi bwe yali
UG is not what it used to be
Ensi yaffe ssi bwetyo
Our country is not like that
The Pearl of Africa
The Pearl of Africa
Kati ejjudde mpisa embi
Is now full of bad morals
Ensi yaffe ssi bwetyo
Our country is not like that
Kuva ddi nga tuli batemu?
Since when have we been divided?
Ki sitaani otulya ng'amapaapaali?
Is Satan devouring us like papayas?
Kati tuttiŋŋana nga mbwa
Now we fight like dogs
Oba Uganda yavaawo nga tuli wandi?
Was Uganda there when we were born?
Eyatuloga simanyi ani!
I don't know who cursed us!
Empisa okucuuma ng'ekyolooni
Bad behavior is spreading like a cyclone
Gwe avaabira ekindaazi
You who steals a doughnut
Menyako akatono okaweeko oli
Know that a little good you do matters
Wano akaaba tumusirisa
Here we console the crying one
Obutemu busigaze bali batelebaani, eh
Murder is rampant, they are fearless, eh
Y'asala munno obulago
He cuts his friend's throat
N'amala ne yeesiigako akazigo
And even builds a house on top
Twetegera ki amalobo? Eeh
What do we understand by curses? Eeh
Kuno bwe tutyo ssi bwe tweyisa
That's not how we behave here
Ebyo bintu by'eri bunaayira
These things are from the devil
Tusonyiwagana ng'era ba kika
Let's forgive each other like children
Tetuwambagana tutyo kijambula
Let's not fight, this is embarrassing
Twatandika ddi okweteekera kamyu mu doodo?
When did you start behaving like a fool?
Ensi yaffe ssi bwetyo
Our country is not like that
Mu mazima kuva ddi nga tusalagana nga nkoko?
Seriously, when did we start fighting like chickens?
Ensi yaffe ssi bwetyo
Our country is not like that
Ndowooza twesulika
I think we've lost our way
UG bw'eti ssi bwe yali
UG is not what it used to be
Ensi yaffe ssi bwetyo
Our country is not like that
The Pearl of Africa
The Pearl of Africa
Kati ejjudde mpisa embi
Is now full of bad morals
Ensi yaffe ssi bwetyo
Our country is not like that
Okumanya ekitugoba kitabuse
Knowing what drives us is not witchcraft
N'abakazi baddukayo mu biyungu
Even women are running to witch doctors
Twewaze nnyo nnyo Mungu
We have really angered God
Ndowooza n'asitula obusungu
I think He is also angry
Twebunyizza ebiwundu
We have inflicted wounds
Ki twetemamu ebitundu?
Are we stabbing each other?
Buli lwe wabaawo ekitabuse
Whenever there is witchcraft involved
Tewabula gwe twekwasa nti gundi
You always blame it on someone else
Naye tugambe ani ku luno?
But tell me, who is behind this?
Nga ffe tukubagana obukumbi
As we fight in the dark
Oh oh oh my lovely Uganda
Oh oh oh my lovely Uganda
Guluma nga kati nkolooto
You're burning like a furnace
Oh oh fire twokya guno mugomyo
Oh oh fire burning in the furnace
Buli omu funa ku tuzzi weeyiweko
Everyone get close to the water and cool down
Naaza enziro kyuusa enneeyisa yo
I'm coming quickly to change your behavior
Oh oh mama nkolokooto
Oh oh mama furnace
Oh oh fire twokya guno mugomyo
Oh oh fire burning in the furnace
Buli omu funa ku tuzzi weeyiweko
Everyone get close to the water and cool down
Naaza enziro kyuusa enneeyisa yo
I'm coming quickly to change your behavior
Twatandika ddi okweteekera kamyu mu doodo?
When did you start behaving like a fool?
Ensi yaffe ssi bwetyo
Our country is not like that
Mu mazima kuva ddi nga tusalagana nga nkoko?

UG bw'eti ssi bwe yali

Ensi yaffe ssi bwetyo
Our country is not like that
The Pearl of Africa
The Pearl of Africa
Kati ejjudde mpisa embi
Is now full of bad morals
Ensi yaffe ssi bwetyo×2.
Our country is not like that×2.
Double Kick
