Be someone who can be rebuked and listens,
Be someone who can be rebuked and heeds sometimes,
Be someone who keeps his ears clean while being rebuked over a matter,
My mother’s people, taking heed is much better.
Starting early is better than going to the witchdoctor,
Don’t wait until shit hits the basket*,
Then you start grinding your teeth,
“I wish I knew”, comes later,
“I wish I knew”, always comes later, my mother’s people.
Be someone who can be rebuked and listens
Be someone who can be rebuked and heeds sometimes,
Be someone who keeps his ears clean while being rebuked over a matter,
My mother’s people, taking heed is much better.
Money has appeared to you, my kinsman. Now you have changed your walking style,
Walk with the others. The path you have chosen is not good.
It has thorns and briers,
Stop acting like a cunning hare, yet you are like a dump warthog.
Like the monitor lizard, you like things that can be seen with the eyes,
That’s why,
Be someone who can be rebuked and listens,
Be someone who can be rebuked and heeds sometimes,
Be someone who keeps his ears clean while being rebuked over a matter,
My ‘mother’s’ people, taking heed is much better.
Be someone who can be rebuked and listens,

This world you see, this world is complicated,

Listening to your elders will sometimes help you with your people,

I like this duet approach in regards to jazz. The blending of the strings resonates with my taste of music. It brings me back to the Jazz scene. Rapasa Nyatrapasa Otieno
