Katupakase

Katupakase, anti lupiya ndaba ne gyetuvudde wala
Kyetulumiririrwa bitone mwekyo mwe bwtuyimbira ubayimbire ebizimba
Atenga tukolelela gwanga Uganda
Abaliba abalamu mutusomeko mu birirangwa
Tudaaga na dunia, nga tuzaaye amabujje gaffe tegalya amagumba
Tudaaga na dunia, nga tuzaaye amabujje gaffe tegabulwa obutuuliro
Baganda bange tukole namanyi tukolwe
Obutaweera ebyokunyooma emirimu bya kileela
Tukole namanyi obutaweela ebyokunyoma emirimu byakileela

Tupatikanira kuba bulungi netufubba ne tufungiza okuba obulungi
Netutoba olwokuba amabujje netufuba tuzimbe egwanga elyenkya
Tukola misana na kiro ebitone byotuwadde ddunda tubikuume
Netufubba nyo tufunne essanyu munsi
Dunia gyegenda twetegekere nze nawe noyo nooli
Ensi yensi nebyensi byansi tusanidde tubele bagumu
Tugiryako makoola nolwekyo tusanidde tukwatire wamu
Bangi bendabye twali ba mukwano wenjogerera tweyawulamu
Byanfuna no ate banange ngaate lupiya ye kazalabulwa
Obuvunaanyizibwa buli muntu alina ntoko
Bwodda mupokopoko obudde bukuyitako
Alina naatalina fenna tukeera kuyigga Dr.Nsimbi tumukwateko
Atere ajjanjabe obulamu bwabakyala baffe nabaana baffe beyagaleko
Ekyono kyekiteganya nze nawe noono nooli nga tumunoonya entakira
Kyaalangibwa mulusuku eden atakole taalire omusajja kuntuuyo ze
Kwonolya kwonosula oyambe ne
Bakadde bo amabujje gasome ate ogategekere
Teri... alinywa ttuzi twabule, ngatamazze kulembeka
Nabagagga betulaba betwegomba buli lukedde, baayita mukupatikana
Obuvunaanyizibwa buli muntu alina ntoko
Bwodda mupokopoko obudde bukuyitako
Alina naatalina fenna tukeera kuyigga Dr.money money tumukwateko
Atere ajjanjabe obulamu bwabakyala baffe nabaana baffe beyagaleko
Ekyono kyekiteganya nze nawe noono nooli nga tumunoonya entakira

Katupakase

Katupakase, I don't want to be poor, I'm not lazy
I kneel down to beg you, as we sing to you, sing for us women
Come let's work together, for the sake of Uganda
Because we all have a chance in education
Let's compete with the world, so that our children don't go hungry
Let's compete with the world, so that our children don't become homeless
My countrymen, let's do what we can
Don't believe in lies, don't do useless things
Let's do what we can, don't believe in lies, don't do useless things

We can have a good life, if we try and desire to be good
And we refuse to be ignored, because we will build a better future for our children
Let's work day and night to keep the good things you've given us
And we will try to find happiness on earth
The world is changing, let's be ready, me, you and him
All the nations and all the people in the world, we should all be strong
Let's all help each other and unite
At one time we were all friends, we talked, then we separated
I have also suffered, but my friend, money is a thief
Every person is responsible for themselves
When the time comes, it comes quickly
Whether you have it or not, let's all learn from Dr.Nsimbi, let's all follow him
He who does not fight for the lives of our women and children does not love them
This is the solution, me, you and him, let's all search for ourselves
It was shown to me in a dream, he who does not work, will never be a man, he will be a fool
To eat or not to eat, help me out
My elders, study hard and be prepared
There isn't... anyone who drinks clean water, because am tired of being a servant
The rich people see us, they envy us every minute, they want to give us bribes
Every person is responsible for themselves
When the time comes, it comes quickly
Whether you have it or not, let's all learn from Dr.money money, let's all follow him
He who does not fight for the lives of our women and children does not love them
This is the solution, me, you and him, let's all search for ourselves
