Oh na na what’s my name? Oh na na what’s my name Oh na na let me scream your name And baby, do the same but have no shame Let me flow placidly down on you as we play this game Hold me tighter, I am yours so, let us yearn for fame Let us get lost in the flame we blaze Oh na na what’s my name Oh na na what’s my name Oh na na let me scream your name And baby do the same… ignore all vexations let them call us lame We are not striving for heroism, let’s hide behind the crane So let yours, fingers draw the outline of my shape Lose me in yours, strength as you skillfully craft me Swing me around in all ways and let’s land on ours, words Tired of slow, lets ride faster Now you know am your junkie because I am addicted So hold me in that thrall… let me flourish… live and die there Tired of this… pirate, let’s maneuver into new waters Am tired of circles with their sham, but wholesomely introduce me to new Take me there, on the pyramid where I can connect with the stars You...

There is a woman down this hill Evil and beastly Atapaa popote kukuweka majani Uchawi ameulewa ni wake usanii There is a woman down this hill Everyone fears Mapenzi alikwara yuko peke yake Usifikiri rafiki… wivu ndio wake There is a woman down this hill Hana panga, macho ndio silaha Watoto awatupa kaburini, wazazi hofu awajaza There is a woman down this hill Hamwogopi Allah! Bibilia haimtishi, aibeba mwenyewe! There is a woman down this hill Karibu na makaburini Atakutoa nduki, urafiki hatamani © Namatsi Lukoye
