Obori Bwa Baba song lyrics Kisii - English translation

Ekebwe' niakura manga inse
Baba matongera nyangweso
'Obwori bwa baba ekeande'
Amaemba baba matogoro
Ee Nyangweso yachi yaboria

The 'Fox' howls down the Manga Hill
The fox warned that the locusts were coming 'Please note
The rich and well-grown 'wimbi' with big grains
The Soghurm 'dear mum' looks like the eyes of human beings open wide!
The locust came and at the wimbi and sorghum (Then the famous famine period called Nyangweso followed)
The early Omugusii believed that animals provided sufficient clues when danger was underway.
Ekebwe, also called a fox was amongst the most reliable animals for this purpose
