Save Us
Khadja Nin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Usijidanganye yo mawe
Njiya ile siyo njiya yeto
Ba politike ba sasa ba for myself
Batamaliza bantu
Kila umija mama
Anataka tu modele ya ulaya
Ju modele ya kwetu ya zamani sana
Hatutake kuyijuwa
Ndugu kama juzi


Tukamatane mukono tu save us
Watoto wa Afrika
Tukamatane mukono tu save us
Afrika waca liya


Afrika yetu yoma
Inaliya macozi mama
Ju modele toka mbali ya pisha nijitiye
Inaconganisha bantu
Wazehe wa kwetu yo maweye
Wanasema na masemo yao
Que tukamatane mukono na busayidiyane




Ju ni desturi yetu
Ndugo kama juzi

In Khadja Nin's song Save Us, she uses Swahili to convey a message about the political landscape of Africa. The song seems to be a call to action for Africans to rise up and save their continent from the corrupt politicians who are only interested in their own personal gain. The first verse talks about how the politicians are destroying the people and the country, and how they are trying to emulate the western standard rather than preserving their own traditions. The singer seems to be giving a voice to the average African, who is tired of being ignored by those in power.


The chorus of the song continues the theme of unity and calls for Africans to come together and save their continent. It speaks directly to the children of Africa, telling them to hold hands and work together to build a better future. The second verse shifts the focus to the struggles faced by Africans on a daily basis. The line "Afrika yetu yoma" translates to "Our Africa cries," emphasizing the pain and hardship that many Africans experience. The verse also touches on the cultural differences that exist within Africa and highlights the need for unity despite these differences.


Overall, the song Save Us by Khadja Nin is a powerful call to action for Africans to come together and save their continent from the corrupt politicians who are holding them back. It is a reminder that despite their differences, they are all part of the same family and must work together to build a better future.
