about

This is a song based off the spirituality of the people of Tanganyika (now Tanzania) during the Majimaji rebellion against the Germans.

lyrics

We huna huna haya
huna huna haya
huna haya
kutema kwenye ziwa langu
na mi sina
sina haya
mi sina sina haya
sina sina haya
kuoga kwenye ziwa langu

Look at the damage now
Sea of famine and drought
Anger spilt on the ground
A fresh wound
A clean cut
Cotton on dry blood
Scars are the badges now
Embroided with battle marks
Souls die 1000 times
Just so they can win a fight

ooh Kwani Damu ni maji
ooh maji maji

We huna huna haya
huna huna haya
huna haya
kutema kwenye ziwa langu
na mi sina
sina haya
mi sina sina haya
sina sina haya
kuoga kwenye ziwa langu

Castles replaced the clouds
Rebuilding strands of trust
Faith secured all doubt
Beliefs crumbling into dust

ooh Kwani Damu ni maji
ooh maji maji

We huna huna haya
huna huna haya
huna haya
kutema kwenye ziwa langu
na mi sina
sina haya
mi sina sina haya
sina sina haya
kuoga kwenye ziwa langu
