MALARIA.

Malaria umosna jokawango.
Malaria umosna jokawango.
Ukwer gi webuoga gi nyako.
Ukwer gi webuoga gi nyako.
Ukwer gi webuoga gi mwandu.
Ukwer gi webuoga gi mwandu.
Ukwer gi webuoga gi wuoyi.
Ukwer gi webuoga gi wuoyi.
An e jal madonjo….
An e jal madonjo….
Adonjo ma ok akoni ng’ato.
Kata idhero….
Kata ichwe….
In gi mwandu…
iongogo….
In jarateng’….
Odiero apalaaaaaa…
Baba….ero abiro…
Mama…ero abiro…


Malaria umosna jokawango.
Malaria umosna jokawango.
Ukwer gi webuoga gi nyako.
Ukwer gi webuoga gi nyako.
Ukwer gi webuoga gi wuoyi.
Ukwer gi webuoga gi wuoyi.
Ukwer gi webuoga gi nyako.
Ukwer gi webuoga gi nyako.
Ukwer gi webuoga gi mwandu.
Ukwer gi webuoga gi mwandu.
An e jal madonjo….

Adonjo ma ok akoni ng’ato
Ekata idhero….
Kata ichwe…..
In jarateng’….
Odiero apalaaaaaa…
Mama…Baba ...ero abiro…
Mama…Baba ...ero abiro…

Malaria Umosna jokawango.
Malaria Umosna jokawango.

Malaria.

Malaria, send my greetings to Jokawango,
Malaria, send my greetings to Jokawango,
Rebuke them, and don’t threaten me with a lady,
Rebuke them, and don’t threaten me with a lady.
Rebuke them, and don’t threaten me with wealth,
Rebuke them, and don’t threaten me with wealth.
Rebuke them, and don’t threaten me with a boy,
Rebuke them, and don’t threaten me with a boy.
I am the one who’s coming in,
I am the one who’s coming in,
I am coming in without telling anyone-an invited.

It doesn’t matter if you skinny,
It doesn’t matter if you are fat,
It doesn’t matter if you are rich,
Even if you are poor,
You are just a black man,
A white man,

Father, here I come….
Mother, here I come…...

Malaria, send my greetings to Jokawango,
Malaria, send my greetings to Jokawango,
Rebuke them, and don’t threaten me with a lady,
Rebuke them, and don’t threaten me with a lady,
Rebuke them, and don’t threaten me with a boy,
Rebuke them, and don’t threaten me with a boy,
Rebuke them, and don’t threaten me with a lady,
Rebuke them, and don’t threaten me with a lady.
Rebuke them, and don’t threaten me with wealth,
Rebuke them, and don’t threaten me with wealth.
I am the one who’s coming in,
I am the one who’s coming in,
I’m coming in without telling anyone -an invited

It doesn’t matter if you brag,
It doesn’t matter if you are fat,
It doesn’t matter if you are rich,
You are just a black man,
A white man.

Mother…..Father ..., here I come,
Mother…...Father ..., here I come,

Mother……Father…..

Send my greetings to Jokawango,
Send my greetings to Jokawango.


The end!!!
