Mila na maua 06:04
Muacha mila ni mtumwa Mila ya ukweli si urongo , mila upendo Doa doa, ujipambe Na maua Meremeta (Translation coming soon)

Time for the harvest , lets go outside Sun goddess is smiling, the time is right Look at the flowers, they’re all in bloom Soft to the touch and they're dripping dew Can you feel this Or are you frozen Take me up to the hills Where the rivers flow And the fruit is ripe Find our way stream To the garden Sprites Time for the harvest (Tulipanda , tunavuna) Hail the Goddess of the sun ( and flowers) Hail

Fairy Circle 03:10
You bring the tea I'll bring the herbs And lets catch up on what we’ve heard My feet are sore from running all day long But I’ll dance with you my dears Under the moonlight Under the moonlight As is above so is below The magic is strong when we comune (pass the herbs) This is the power of the sisterhood The fairy circle For us alone As is above so is it below As is above so is it below Under the moonlight These are the days Under the moonlight It’s the only way Her magic is like The light of day In the fairy circle In the fairy circle

Mpilipili 02:27
Njooni nyote Njooni twendeni tuone maua Twende twende Tuone Tazameni mpilipili na maua yake mchikicho (Translation coming soon)

Bathing in the blackened river takes your sins away Na sijaiona mto kama hiyo. (and I haven't seen a river like that one)

Through the flame and smoke I see The one I love the most I can’t reach If I say a prayer Maybe they will hear If I say a prayer 8 and 20 days The time I had to wait For the pouring rain Now I feel alive Alive enough to die Looking to the sky Eyes closed and taking flight I’ll be with you soon My super flower blood moon 8 and 20 days
8.
Rats don't run anymore The rats don't run anymore If they have you on you hands and your knees You better use your teeth Why should you be on your hands and knees Just teeth

Let's play 03:16
I see it in your eyes I feel it when you smile Ni kama tunajuana Ni kama tushapatana Niambie jinsi unavyonitaka Uamue mimi nimekupa ruhusa Nimekupa ruhusa Tazame kwa makini Papa yupo majini Ni kama tunajuana Ni kama tushapatana Niambie Uamue Do you like it when I do it like this baby
10.
Will you take me to the forrest I want to be safe and sound In the vipers mouth Nauliza nani alisema dawa ya nyoka si nyoka Hakuna hakuna Will you clothe me with flowers (will you?) Will you clothe me with flowers (I have bathed in the fire) Love with me I want to be in Nauliza nani alisema dawa ya nyoka si nyoka Will you take me to the forrest Will you clothe me in flowers I want to be In the vipers mouth
11.
I want to bee in the sun smiling Naked eating fruit in a garden The ancestors were on to something Free my mind I hear music when you are speaking Children of the sun you’re a beacon For my aching heart when it’s bleeding Ukiziba macho Utaona Close your eyes to see (Ukiziba macho, utaona)
