Silabanga mulungi ngagwe
Ompeweza nga empewo yo kumakya mumawugwe
Gwe atonyesa enkuba gwe ajimusa ebitoke
Gwe bajaja gwebanyumyangako nga osoba oyita mu Kyagwe paka Karagwe
And I like the way your edges sway
How your rhythm rises on the air
Making this East African landscape your dance floor
As a young boy kukyalo with both feet I fell in love with your depth
Like a light I followed you through the forest canopies where you crept to sleep
With butterflies and fireflies
I had to take a sip of your beauty
A queen from the land of kalo
You emerge from the high and bless the low
Rise and my people know it’s time to sow
Under the silver light you glow
Nasoka kukulaba Kasokoso nga ekubo limbuze
Nkozesa kasso ndi mu ttosi ntya ebinoso
Omusana olwakukubako ho Nalinganga alabye malaika ali obwerere nga anabira
Wankuba eliso nenfa ekimyanso
Olwawenjula mukonzikonzi ne mpulira edobozzi lyo mukazi
Namugga
Hey hey ah
Bamuyita Namugga simwana wa mugaga
Mukwateko kube olugga nkulope ewo muganga
Atambula akaga atambula nga mugga
Nalimbukibira nga njiga nankona kukibegabega
Nakyuka ne magamaga nndaba Namugga
She came up from Jinja floating on a breeze
Free like a river flowing to the sea
Let me drink from you river
Aseyeya nga kiyira akulukuta nga Sezibwa asoba nga Katonga bwemba Nyanja ono ye mugga Namugga
Let me drink from you river
Aseyeya nga kiyira akulukuta nga ssezibwa asoba nga katonga bwemba Nyanja ono ye mugga Namugga
She came up from Jinja floating on a breeze
Free like a river flowing to the sea
Let me drink from you river
Namugga muvanvu Namugga muteffu namuga musilifu muyonjo akwata no luffu
(Namuga is long, Namugga is calm, Namugga is peaceful so clean like morning dew)
Let me drink from you river
Namugga muvanvu Namugga muteffu namuga musilifu muyonjo akwata no luffu
(Namuga is long, Namugga is calm, Namugga is peaceful so clean like morning dew)
In the moonlight side to side we sway
Together your current overtaking me
Your beauty a waterfall of peace
Wash over me river
She came up from Jinja floating on a breeze
Free like a river flowing to the sea
Let me drink from you river
Let me drink from you river
Let me drink from you river
Let me drink from you river
