about
In this song Rapasa is inviting listeners to enjoy his own parables and let them interpret as they wish while relating to their own life experiences. Here are some example of these parables:
Ohhh Piny ne u mer,
Ohhh Piny ne u ger,
Dede ogongo chamo lum,
Dede ongongo huyo
Osiepe wuoyo awuoya adiera kara onge,
Jodala wuoyo awuoya dhano kara ogajore.
The universe is cruel and drunk at the same time.
It is only a grasshopper that eats grass and flies at the same time.
Friends and family that are not true in their sentiments are difficult to get on with.
Thu Tinda!!!
lyrics
Dede ogongo chamo lum,
Dede ongongo huyo X2
Ohhh Piny ne u mer,
Ohhh Piny ne u ger,
Osiepe wuoyo awuoya adiera kara onge,
Osipe wuoyo awuoya dhano kara ogajore,
Jodala wuoyo awuoya adiera kara onge,
Jodala wuoyo awuoya dhano kara ogajore.
Ohhh Piny ne u mer,
Ohhh Piny ne u ger,
Thum omiyo ang’eyo jonduma mae Luo tetete,
Kend omiyo amedo rieko e pat wiya ka,
Ich omiyo adaro dhano kama daro omena,
Thagruok omiyo amoso oganda kama moso Sibuor
Osiepe wuoyo awuoya adiera kara onge,
Osipe wuoyo awuoya dhano kara ogajore,
Jodala wuoyo awuoya adiera kara onge,
Jodala wuoyo awuoya dhano kara ogajore.
Ohhh Piny ne u mer,
Ohhh Piny ne u ger.
Thu Tinda!!!

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
