Rema Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tuba nabantu abatwagala bangi
Bamanyi n'okwettema ebingi ebitasobooka
Gyebikira omusanga nombuuza kyekyabaawo? Ng'atakunyega
Eyali akukubirangako buli lunnaku
Ng'akati lwotajikubye webikooma
Bwakuyamba n'akwata byemwogera
Owulikika kale ng'amukaluubirizza
Kyolilya kyendilya kitegeeza
Bali nebwelikbakuvaamu nze ndibaawo
Totyanga baby!
Lean on me
I will never ever let you down
Count on me
Bali nebwebaligenda nze ndibaawo
Lean on me
I will never ever let you down
Count on me
Bali nebwebaligenda nze ndibaawo
Waberawo omuntu akwagala kumutima
Oyo yenze!
Nze newembambuuza ekikunjagaaza
Mbagamba bwenesanga
Nkiwulira buwulirizi muli munze
Kwegamba ndi addicted kuggwe
Nebyakukonjola kale ebigambo ng'abingi
Mbiwulira buwulizi
Mbiwulira nendeka
Nti mumikwano mbala
Abalala nebwebaba ng'abagenze tofayo ohoohoh
Nze munno wo wendi Ooh
Lean on me
Lean on me
I will never ever let you down
Count on me
Bali nebwebaligenda nze ndibaawo
Lean on me
I will never ever let you down
Count on me
Bali nebwebaligenda nze ndibaawo
Nasayininga ku mutima nakoona kumunye
Siryekyusa oh ooh oh oh
Oh oooh oh oh
Bali nebwebaligenda nze ndibaawo
Wekaba kalulu olina akange
Bali nebwebatukuuwa Eeh eh
Oh oooh (aah ah aah ah)
Bali nebwebaligenda nze ndibaawo
Ng'emyaka gituludde
Ndikotakota nawe eh yee
Oh oooh oh oh
Bali nebwebaligenda nze ndibaawo
kati njagala bwobeera eyo okimanye
Nti eno eriiyo akwagala
