| Akanidanganya! |
He/She lied to me! This is the closest translation for the word akanidanganya, though not the exact one. It all started with the first verse, which Kassim Ali got from an anonymous author, and then decided to turn it into a tetra-versed poem. |

| Gogo La Muanga! |
A literal translation of "Gogo la Muanga" would be "A log of Afromosa".
"Afromosa" ("/Pericopsis Angolensis/") is a hard wood tree found in some countries of Eastern
and Southern Africa. In this poem, "Gogo la Muanga" represents a valuable undertaking that
Zanzibaris have vowed to protect and nurture for the the benefit of its people.
