about
Woe is me!
In the wake of a funeral, a family finds that it has been eaten out of house and home:
“They have taken our sheep, our money and our wealth”
lyrics
Wololo rere wanatim nade butho ero rumo butho ero rumo
Wololo rere wanantim angowa butho ero rumo butho ero rumo
Wololo rere wana lu kanye mudho ero odino mudho ero odino
Wololo rere wana ted ango wa yamo ero kutho yamo kutho buru
Jogo otingo pesa
Jogo otingo mwandu
Jogo otingo rombe
Jogo otingo bando
Kel uru mwandu piny opogore
Piny otimo liel yawa
Kel uru pesa min odhiambo kwayo
Min odhiambo kwayo
Dala manyiche ogerore tinde opogore
Tinde opogore na
Nythindo manyiche somo tinde potho Tinde potho na
Oh mama
Min Odhiambo wenda weri
Dala manyiche ogerore
Nyithindo manyiche somo
Kel uru mwandu
Kel uru pesa
