Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie sang in Swahili? Hmm, interesting. Like Uyoga sings in this song, Swahili may very well be the language of Africa. :-)
It is not the most widely spoken though, I think Arabic wins that prize.
Anyway, I like this song and when I am in Kenya, I will be sure to sing along with the Kenyans when they welcome me.

Ndiyo, Michael Jackson kaimba Kiswahili. It is from Liberian girl, there is some Swahili in there. The lyrics are around, but they butchered the Swahili part.
It should be 'Nakupenda pia, nakutaka pia, mpenzi we' meaning "I love you, and I want you, my dear"
Swahili is the best, don't hate.

Hmm, so Wacko Jacko, erm I mean Michael Jackson, sang in Swahili in a song called Liberian girl?
Did he think that Liberians speak Swahili too?
Talk about the miseducation of American musicians :-)

Anyway, Swahili rocks!

Swahili is the best. I love this song so much

Swahili translations for the lyrics of this famous Uyoga (Them Mushrooms) song

Jambo - Hi
Jambo bwana - Hi sir
Habari gani? - How are you?
Mzuri sana - Very fine
Tuimbe tucheze sote - Let us sing, let us all dance
Kiswahili ni lugha ya Africa - Kiswahili is the language of Africa

Leo tufurahi - Today let us be happy
Hakuna matata - (there are) no worries
Reggae babu kubwa - Reggae is the godfather
Burudani sali - The rhythm is good
Aah tucheze sote - Ah, let's all dance

Kiswahili ndlo lugha yetu ya Africa - Kiswahili is our African language
Upende usipende utapenda kwa hakika - Like it or not, you must like it
Michael Jackson kaimba Kiswahili - Michael Jackson sang in Kiswahili
Lionel Richie kamfuata ni wa pili - Lionel Richie was another one
Mukae vivyo hivyi siku zote kwa amani - You should keep up that spirit always in peace
Maisha Africa yatakua na thamani - Life in Africa will be of value
Tuimbe tucheze tuseme Kiswahili - Let us sing, let us dance, let us speak Swahili
Supu ya uyoga ni tamu kwell kwell - Mushroom soup is really sweet

thank you for these lyrics and the song, i have been looking for it
