Lyrics and translation Jua Cali - Ngeli Ya Genge




Ngeli Ya Genge
Words We Play With
Hapa tunacheza na maneno
Here we play with words
Ngeli ni ya genge
Words belong to the gang
Na andika hii verse ka nikona njaa
And I’ll write this verse as if I’m hungry
Naenda kupika bila makaa
I’ll cook without a charcoal stove
Na waita na mnakataa
And if you are called, you’ll refuse
Mnasema kanisa ni ya mavijana
You say the church is for the youth
Kushiba ni baada ya salaa
Feasting is after prayers
Kuiba nayo siku hizi ni balaa
And these days, stealing is scandalous
Utageuzwa kima nyama ya kusagaa
You’ll be minced as meat
Pika iive tunamangaa
Boil it, dear, we are hungry
Skuma chumvi na ka ugangaa
Spinach with salt, and if you are a fool
Chuma ngumi teke kadhaa
A fist will strike several times
Boxer vumbi na ma kambaa
Boxer, dust and rags
Toka nyuki asali changaa
From a bee, honey is brewed
Koma kumi utashangaa
Drink ten, you’ll be surprised
Ama stima zitazimaa
Or maybe electricity will be cut
Tuende kwa kina farida
Let’s go see Farida
Jieke hina kwa mafinga
Let’s dance in Mafinga
Hapa tunacheza na maneno
Here we play with words
Ngeli ni ya genge
Words belong to the gang
Nataka ukae poa ka kina
I want you to relax like Fatia
Fatia halima na eva
Halima and Eva, too
Watoto wazuri ku&%
Beautiful girls to f&%
Ndoto nzuri uisha
A beautiful dream gone
Ka ume&$ zote kabisa
If you have all the m&%, oh girl
Ukasanya mote ukampatia
Get a hoe and give it to her
Bahati mbaya ukashikwa
Unfortunately, you’ll be arrested
Mabati waya ukapigwa
You’ll be whipped, hit with iron sheets and wires
Mashati za wanga zikaishia
Wanga’s shirts will be finished
Chukua zengine uanze kupima
Take others and start to weigh
Vua pengine ni ya peter
Take off, maybe they are Peter’s
Beste yangu mtu wa shida
My dear, you face problems
Hii mete ni yangu we tuliza
This bullet is mine, be calm
Unadoea ki fisi na hauja alikwa
You are curious as a hyena and yet you did not give birth
Unapokea dishi na haijapikwa
You get a dish and it is not cooked
Chakula ni mbichi na haija ivaa
The food is raw and not dressed
Tuma sista eastleigh ma njivaa
Send a sister to Eastleigh for clothes
Lakini chunga vile atajivaa
But watch out how she’ll dress
Hapa tunacheza na maneno ngeli ni ya genge
Here we play with words, words belong to the gang
Ma mini chuja na adidas
Miniskirts and Adidas
Ma Gstring shuka na ma%a
G-strings, panties, and %&
Ma mbuyu kwao ni kushangaa
Boobies are a surprise to them
Dudu zao zina amkaa
Their asses are beautiful
Njugu kibao wanatafunaa
They chew a lot of groundnuts
Mamatha uku wanashtuka
Mamatha is shocked
Hanya huyu utajuta
Be careful, you’ll regret it
Kama sumu inaua
Like a poison that kills
Maziwa iko tutakunywa
We’ll drink the milk
Kama njumu zinatupa
Like stars that shine
Kabisa tutakataa kuvua
We’ll refuse to undress
Matope kila mahali panguza
Mud all over, wipe it off
Pole pole ngazi tunashuka
Slowly, we climb down the ladder
Pole ka kazi yasumbua
Slowly, because work is tiring
Mwisho ganji itaingia
Finally, a bald head will enter
Vitisho wangapi wataskia
How many threats will we hear?
Genge damu eeh
Gang blood, eeh
California Au sio
California or not
Hapa tunacheza na maneno ngeli ni ya genge
Here we play with words, words belong to the gang
END
THE END
