about

This song, a favorite of many Ugandan artists, is in the Lugbara language, which few people in the Kampala area speak. When asking other musicians for the interpretation we got four completely different answers. The interpretation we think most likely to be true (from a man who speaks some Lugbara) is this: “Do you think I am alone in this world? Oh no I am not, see my friends all around me.”

lyrics

Aye maruniku nakidiya muludeyeeye
Samba rukilirilu kilirilu walalinga motema
Kopuce luwaladda enyeri; kopuce luwaladda
Tumutendereza yezu omwana wendiga
Ayee sasi saperetu maludeya
