Overall Meaning

The song "Clear" by Why Mud has a catchy beat and a mix of Swahili and English lyrics. The chorus encourages listeners to dance to the beats and unlock their feet. The first verse talks about going to the beach and enjoying oneself. The lyrics also include a shoutout to Mama Hassan Bhagia, who could be a loved one or a local business owner. The second verse mentions "Chora Chora Saba Saba," which could refer to the political unrest in Kenya during the 1990s when this song was popular.


Additionally, the verses mention "tinga tinga malo" and "owaro the teacher," which are not easily understood by non-Swahili speakers. "Tinga tinga" refers to the Tinga Tinga Tales, a popular animated series that tells African folk tales. "Owaro" could either mean "teacher" or "owner," depending on the context. The lyrics also include various repetitions of "ka bonjour," which is a greeting in French.


Overall, the song Clear is a fun and energetic mix of languages and cultural references that invite listeners to dance and enjoy themselves.
