BASAKHERA

Date:  28 January, 2005

1. Muongo Basakhera muongo tena Basakhera muongo
   Kuna kijti kimoja kikastawisha jengo
   Kuna pau kuna ndinga kuna n'gongo
   Nenda ukakate miti nije nikuonye jengo


2. Paka nakukanya, usirambe tui
   Ungajinyon'gonya, maji huyajui
   Kama huli panya, na wali hupewi - jamani


3. Chimbua choogo, chambo kiwe chingi
   Upate chachuo, na kamba wa lungi
   Jamani jongoo, hatuwi mtungi


4. Nna mateso mwanamke nna mateso
   Mkajipamba vitambi, mkajitia na leso
   Akhera kuna mambo kesho


5. Kanzu yashitaki, qadhi niamua
   Mimi sivaliki, mbona navaliwa
   Nimeoza dhiki, na pa kukaliwa
6. Kofia nyekundu, imenipendeza
   Unga rorarora, macho makengeza
   Huachi mahana, ngoma ukacheza
