肯尼亚的防疫歌,歌手在3月13日上传了官方版。官方版本提供了英文的翻译。就不另附中文版本了。
Ilikuwa ni Monday morning, my phone ika-ring-ring-ring (It was on a monday morning, my phone rung rung rung)
nipokee simu yangu (Receiving the call)
ilikuwa ni Akinyi (it was Akinyi)
amekuwa ni rafiki wa karibu (who has been a very close friend of mine)
just the other day akaolewa majuu (… she got married abroad)
Jimmy: Hello
Akinyi: Jimmy
Jimmy: are you okay, are you okay?
Akinyi: Mume wangu amekufa. (My husband has died)
Jimmy: Whaat! Your husband, ni nini imefanyika? (…, what has happenned)
Noo. this can’t be true!
Akinyi: Alikuwa anakohoa sana. (he was caughing alot)
Joto nyingi na kushindwa kupumua. (so much fever and difficult in breathing)
Daktari akisema ni Corona (the doctor said it was Corona)
Corona, watisha ulimwengu (you are such a threat to the world)
lakini Mungu yupo (but God is in control!)
Itakuwa sawa. (It shall be okay)
Itakuwa sawa. (It shall be okay)
Tukitizama Mungu. (If we look up to God)
Itakuwa sawa. (It shall be okay)
Hata kama kuna wingu limetandaa la Corona linatisha sisi wote (Even if we see a thick cloud of Corona threatning all of us.)
kwa pamoja tunaweza kujikinga (Together we can be able to protect ourselves)
kwa kufuata maagizo kama haya (by following these instructions)
kwa mara nyingi osha mikono yako kwa sabuni (frequently wash your hands with soap)
na usiguse macho, mdomo na hata na mapua (and don’t touch your eyes, mouth and nose)
ni bora ufunikie mdomo kama wakohoa (always cover your mouth when caughing)
Maumivu yakizidi ona daktari (and if symptomps persist, visit doctor urgently)
Na walioadhirika ni watu kama sisi (let’s not stigmatise those infected, because they are people just like us.)
Tusiwaachilie (let’s care for them)
Oooh Corona, watisha ulimwengu (…, you are such a threat to the world)
lakini Mungu yupo (but God is in control!)
Itakuwa sawa. (It shall be okay)
Itakuwa sawa. (It shall be okay)
Tukitizama Mungu. (If we look up to God)
Itakuwa sawa. (It shall be okay)
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
