[Luganda] I Was Here

Lyrics

[Intro – Piano, Strings, Distant Choir]

Hmmmm...

Lunaku lulituuka...

Emyaka giyita...

Ebiseera bikkula...

Era ekinaasigalawo

Lwe luguudo lwe twawaayo...

N’obulamu bwe twakwatako.

[Verse 1]

Sirowooza ndisimbula olusozi,
Sirowooza ndikyusa eggulu,

Sirowooza erinnya lyange
Lijja kuba awo abasajja ab'amaanyi we bali.

Naye singa nnyambye omuntu anafuyidde,
Singa nnyambye ekirooto kibuuke,

Singa nleeta essuubi
Mu kiro ky'omuntu ekizibu,

Obulamu bwange tebyali bwereere.

[Pre-Chorus]

Kubanga akatono akamuli
Kakasuka ekizikiza,

Era n’akatono ak’ekisa
Kaleeta obuvunaanyizibwa obutaggwaawo.

[Chorus]

🌍 Nali wano...

Ssi lwa kunzijukira,

Naye okwajjukira abalala.

Nali wano...

Ssi lwa kubeera waggulu,

Naye okuwagira omulala.

Era singa ensi ekyaka
Nga olugendo lwange luggwaawo,

Kale ekyo kisaanye.

Nali wano.

[Verse 2]

Abamu bajja kuzimba n’ebigambo,
Abamu bajja kuzimba n’engalo,

Abamu bajja kuyigiriza omwana,
Abamu bajja kuyamba omulala ayimirire.

Abamu bajja kunnyonnyola omwoyo ogumenyese,
Abamu bajja kwesonyiwa omutima oguzaaliddwa,

Abamu bajja kuwulira obugagga,
Abalala baleka omukwano gwabwe.

Era emirundi mingi omukwano
Gwo gubeera ogw’olubeerera.

[Pre-Chorus]

Kubanga omutima gujjukira
W’ekirala amaaso gali genda kulabula,

Era buli kintu eky’ekisa
Kifuuka ekkubo ery’abalala okulondebwa.

[Chorus]

🌍 Nali wano...

Ssi lwa kunzijukira,

Naye okwajjukira abalala.

Nali wano...

Ssi lwa kubeera waggulu,

Naye okuwagira omulala.

Era singa ensi ekyaka
Nga olugendo lwange luggwaawo,

Kale ekyo kisaanye.

Nali wano.

[Bridge – Choir Rising]

Bwe kitabo ekya nkomerero kiggalawo,

Bwe oluyimba olusembayo luyimbibwa,

N’ebyange bibeera bikalu,

Ssi ky’ebyange bye nnalina,

Naye ebyo bye nnawaayo.

Ssi bingi bangi abankwatirako,

Naye bingi bangi abazuula ekkubo lyabwe.

Ssi obugagga bwe nnakunga,

Naye essuubi lye nnalekawo.

Kubanga buli mwoyo wandiika

Ekitabo mu bulamu bw’abalala.

[Final Chorus – Full Choir]

🌍 Nali wano...

Nayagala nnyo.

Nawaayo nga nsanyufu.

Nayagadde nga mwoyo wa maanyi.

Nayimirira nga nkyusa obulungi.

Nali wano...

Era mu nnaku ey’enkya

Ekitundu kyange kisigala.

Mu musango gwe nnayambako.

Mu musango gwe nnayambako okutwala.

Mu kirooto kye nnayambako okuzuukuka.

Mu bulamu bwe nnayambako okukyusa.

🌍 Era singa ensi ekyaka

Kubanga nali mu ngeri eno,

Kale ekyo kisaanye.

Nali wano.

[Outro – Choir & Piano Fade]

Obulamu bumu...

Omukisa gumu...

Obulungi obutaggwaawo...

Okuleka ensi

Nga k’eyongera obulungi

Okusinga bwe twagyasanga.

Hmmmm...

Nali wano...
