Project Description
Ameru twaranirieni,
Dear Merians let’s reason together
tucokie ruuji mukaro (heey)
And retrieve our steps
Kwona untwire buubu bwetu
For we’re losing our culture
na mikarie gekuriria
which is our way of life
Juuju akiimbitana niambiraga
My granny taught me that
kumenya mantû niiku kwiirwa
You only grow wise in understanding
Tigeni mbumenyithagie Nteto
So may i pass the information
Tutikaure nii kwaaga umenyo
So that we won’t perish in our ignorance
Narua nii maaru nkuringa
Today I’m sounding a siren
nkibwitaga twaranirieni(hey)
Calling you all to reason
Twiririkanie untwire bwetu
As we remind ourselves of our culture
buria nibu nii kiigai gietu ( Ameru)
Which is our heritage
Tene nikwarii beige na akuru
Sweet old days were treatment shrines & elderly
Baria baiji mithega na wiitho hey
Who knew cure & secret solutions
Bwa kurua a mirimo na mathina
To combat diseases and problems
Jonthe Jaria ja nyamaragia utûûro
That the societies encountered
Na niontu ukuru abugambagua (heey)
And since their wisdom should be pursued
Nthaka natwi twiteni gaaruune
Let our young men court her from them
Gitumi micii iria iri akuru oooh
They will grow in responsibility
Yerirwe itiumbikia kugua nderi. (Ameru)
Averting their families from all roaming dangers
Gaaru ikuthira na kiruja,
At the dimday of men’s hut with kiruja age group
nirio kaiji kaurire hey
It’s when the boychild lost their way
Kaiji nako gakuurira au,
And when this happened
mugongo jwetu jurata muuki
Our society lost its track
Twarega kugacokia gaarune (hey)
If we fail to recall young men to elderly advice, empowering them
Tugatura kwinaga ntingimenya
We will forever participate in I wish i knew song
Niru kanyamba mwirira,
burly Chorused regret
nako nitwiji gatitethagia
What we all agree is pointless
