Lyrics and translation Irene Ntale - Kabugo

Kabugo

Ebyange byo bafuuka birungi
Enjala nzisiigakko ka langi
Akaviiri Kalabika birungi
N'akasusu, kanyirira
Abasajja baneyunira bangi
Abensimbi ennyingi nga ba beeyi
Naye mwabo abanesiimbamu
Mulimu omulondemmu
Ali colorful nga nyonnyi muzinge
Mubiisi gwenjukyi ngaguli mu muzinga
Buli wiikendi antwala kukazing'eyo
Mu miti gya moringa
Mukoledeyo akantugatanga
Mumutuba atte nga ka fitting

Kano ke kabugo Mukwano
Kena kukomogeera
Kano ke kabugo darling
Kekukumulira
Kano ke kabugo Mukwano
Kena kukomogera
Kekabugo darling
Kenakukumulira

Ssenga nze yantuza nansomessa
Nti omusajja omulekka neyeetaya
Bwomulunda atuuka neyeekyaawa
Ebyomukwano bambi nebimutama
Ebyo byona ebyo mulongo wange
Ntadde omweo mukabugo kange
Kakuume nga nange bwonkuuma
Kabonero kamukwano gwange
Kaliba ka muwendo
Kaliba ka Matendooo
Ebyange byonaaaaa
Mbitelesse omwo

Kano ke kabugo Mukwano
Kena kukomogeera
Kano ke kabugo darling
Kekukumulira
Kano ke kabugo Mukwano
Kena kukomogera
Kekabugo darling
Kenakukumulira

Kiliba kki ekilinzijja kugwe oh
Buli kyenkuwa okyeebaza ogonze eh
Ndi beera wo, ndi beera wo
Kululwo ndiberawo
Tulibaanamansasana, ehh
Ali tugatulula, talitusaanga oh

Kano ke kabugo Mukwano
Kena kukomogeera
Kano ke kabugo darling
Kenkukemuliilaaaa
Kano ke kabugo Mukwano
Kena kukomogera
Kekabugo darling
Kenakukumulira

Kano ke kabugo Mukwano

Ebyange byafuuka bilungi
Enjala nzisiigakko ka langi
Akasusu kalabikka bulungi nnyo
Kenkukemulilaaaa
Nkukoledeyo akanatugantanga
Omutuba atte nga ka fitting

Kabugo

My clothes are getting prettier
Hunger has passed me by
My calabash has healthy food
And my sweet potatoes
Young men are liking me so much
My clothes are so beautiful, like honey
But the one I love is in the middle of it
He's like a beautiful hummingbird
He makes me feel so happy, like a bird in a meadow
He buys me things like I'm in a market
Every weekend, he takes me to the garden
Where the moringa trees are
He makes me a swing
And sits beside me like it's perfect

This is my love, my dear
I want to praise you
This is my love, my darling
I want to cherish you
This is my love, my dear
I want to praise you
This is my love, my darling
I want to cherish you

My mother told me that a good man is hard to find
But when I met you, I knew you were the one
When you arrived, you brought joy
Some people were jealous of our relationship
But all those things, my love
I put them aside for you
Cherish me as I cherish you
You are a symbol of my love
You are a treasure
You are my everything
All my belongings
I trust you with them

This is my love, my dear
I want to praise you
This is my love, my darling
I want to cherish you
This is my love, my dear
I want to praise you
This is my love, my darling
I want to cherish you

What can I do to win you over, oh
Every time I thank you, you act like I've done something wrong
I will always be there, I will always be there
I will stay with you forever
We are soulmates, ehh
He protects us, he never leaves us alone

This is my love, my dear
I want to praise you
This is my love, my darling
I want to cherish you
This is my love, my dear
I want to praise you
This is my love, my darling
I want to cherish you

This is my love, my dear
I want to praise you
This is my love, my darling
I want to cherish you
This is my love, my dear
I want to praise you
This is my love, my darling
I want to cherish you

My clothes are getting prettier
Hunger has passed me by
My sweet potatoes are looking so good
I want to cherish you
I will make you a swing
And sit beside you like it's perfect
