Chorus
Hee-haa, vuta pumz
We vuta pumz
Longombas wanafanya mambo (vuta pumz)
Longombas wanatetemesha (vuta pumz)

Jamani nisikilizeni, mnisikilize (x2)
Kuna wanawake warembo
Wenye marasa, na mapaja, na weupe
Na ni wazuri kinyama
Jamani nisikilizeni, mnisikilize (x2)
Kuna wanaume wengi
Wenye vifua, na warefu, na wenye nguvu
Na ni wazuri kinyama
Lakini tujichunge
Pengine wanao mdudu
Wanatuacha, wana-go (x2)

Usimwone amejaza nyuma, ukadhani ako poa
Usimwone amerembeka, ukadhani umefika

African children's choir
They may go unnoticed as we jam to kwaito, soukouss, highlife and bongo flava, but the African Children's Choir is a strong presence whose mission we all need to be in support of. Made up of the most precious of faces and the most delicate of voices, the choir comprises of young African children aged between 7 and 11. Many of them have lost a parent or two to famine and disease, some are HIV positive orphans. They speak different languages and are from various countries around the continent, but they have united in one voice to represent and raise awareness to the issues concerning AIDS orphans from all over Africa. They were recently featured in the "Blood Diamond" movie's soundtrack. They have shared stages with personalities such as Miriam Makeba, Thandiswa Mazwai, Josh Groban, Wyclef Jean, Michael W. Smith to name a few, and have been successful in raising significant funds towards supporting and educating their brothers and sisters throughout the continent.

Luganda translations in brackets

Verse 1
I got a little something
That I'd like to share with you yeah
It's a little bit dark
A little bit cold and it's hard to bear

Togwa mumatigga (Do not fall into temptation)
Otuke okwejjusa nga bwayita (And get to regret, when it's too late)
Tokemebwa wama (Do not be tempted)
Fuba nyo okwewala (Try hard to avoid)

If we could see
Past the pleasures of life
Then maybe we'd know
The real meaning of life

Chorus 4x
I am young and wise
Thought I have lots of lies
I'm determined to live right
Just because I'm young and wise

Looking around me
The world is running fast and I can't keep the pace
Voices are calling
Come let's blow time, do what feels good

The pressure is on
To do what's wrong
The system's pulling me along
It's hard to wait
And like life straight
Oh!

Condom - sex education - Stop AIDS, Love Life

...Sounds on da ground and seens on the see-ins

What would you do if a young child asked you about a condom? Who is a young child anyway? Well, we know one possibility, thanks to Bright Bling Sparkles, one of Ghana's premier musical voices. A father would tell his son that a condom is a balloon for adults who have the exclusive right to blow it. Hearing this song drew my attention to sex education in Ghana and the fight against AIDS. I am not an expert on the subjects but here goes.
