Mugithi Singer Kamande wa Kioi asks “Baba” to Go Back Where He was; Life was Better without Him (VIDEO)
Controversial Mugithi singer, Kamande wa Kioi is back on the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. The Pusi (Kanyau Gakwa) hit-maker jumped on the #BabaWhileYouWereAway bandwagon but started a storm he has no idea how big it is.
The Benga artist did a song that directly rebukes “Baba” asking him to go back where he was.
Performing recently before a crowd in an unidentified part of the country, Kamande sang, “Nikii waiyera? tatua guchoka nitwamboeka dadi amba ushokie muhahe waku okou urari baba!” which translates to “What have you come back for? Go back, you bore us Daddy. Do this, rudisha kimbelele huko ulikuwa Baba!”.
Here are the lyrics (and translation) of the short song;
Baba.. Baba.. Baba.. You better go away
Ora! (Kwenda!) (Go!)
Nikii waiyera? tatua guchoka nitwamboeka dadi amba ushokie muhahe waku okou urari baba!
(What have you come back for? Go back, you bore us Daddy. Do this, rudisha kimbelele huko ulikuwa Baba!)
Turaikarete na thayu muingi while you were away, tamba ucoke kou urari, you better go away! x2
(We were living in a lot of peace while you were away, Go back to where you were, you better go away!)x2
Dadiii! Dadiii! Dadii! Babaa Babaa Babaa .. while you were away! x2
(Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Babaa Babaa Babaa .. while you were away! x2)
Turaikarete maisha mega while you were away, tamba ucoke kou urari, you better go away!
(We were living a good life while you were away, go back to where you were, you better go away!)x2
Athie!
(Akwende!) (He should go!)
Na Athie!
(Na Akwende!) (And He Should!)
Ne guthie riu!
(Ni kwenda sasa!) (It’s time to go!)
