Khadja Nin Lyrics
Sambolera mayi son
(Khadja Nin/Kevin Mulligan)
Duniya ile Sambolera
Oh ! wanayijifondeya
Duniya yetu Sambolera
Mbona wazimu... mayi
Watu wa duniya Sambolera
Oh ! wanajisondeka
Siyo wa mungu Sambolera
Oh ! ni watu... mayi
Watu wabaya Sambolera
Oh ! hawana uluma
Wanasema ji sema Sambolera
Duniya ni yao... mayi
Mungu akipenda Sambolera
Oh ! watagukumbuka
Wakupe njiya Sambolera
Oh ! ujaribu
Mbele ya mungu Sambolera
Oh ! watajibu aje ?
Watasema ju ya au ya mungu
Wameuwa corazon
Oh ! guerre ya mungu gani ?
Oh ! guerre ya rangi gani ?
Oh ! guerre rangi ya damu
Rangi ya damu
Rangi ni moja
Damu ni mingi Sambolera
Oh ! wanatesa watu
Ju mutu umoja Sambolera
Oh ! akitaka... mayi
Ni vita... son
Waca waseme Sambolera
Oh ! mayisha yako mbele
Watasema waseme Sambolera
Alakini corazon
Usitubiye
Ngoyela... son
Mayele
Oh ! Oh ! Oh !
Iye ! Iye ! Iye !
Ule wazimu usi wuogope...son

Hold True
Sambolera in English
This world is made up
Our world is running mad
The men of this world
Lie to themselves
They are not gods
They are only human
Those malicious men
Have no compassion at all
They only talk about themselves
The world belongs to them
If it's God's will
They will have to remember you
They will give you a voice
To take your chance
Before God, what will their answer be?
They will say that
In the name of colour or of God
They killed corazon1 (heart)
War in the name of which God?
War in the name of which colour?
War the colour of blood
There is only one colour of blood
There is too much blood
They make life a hard thing to bear
Only one man's will is enough
To bring war
Let them talk
Your life leads, son
They will talk and talk
But, corazon, don't give up
Be patient
Be smart
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Iye! Iye! Iye!
Don't live in fear of this madness

It's really amazing that the first word of the song, "duniya" which means "world", exists in Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Kurdish, Ladino, my native Greek, and many other languages. This little discovery has made my day. "Duniya" is a small world, let us put our differences aside, embrace each other and enjoy our presence on this planet while it lasts. :-)

Om swahili it means the same
Jabine Tasho
In kiswahili too

@John Gabrielz no most of her other songs are in Kirundi language because she's a Burundian not a swahili woman
