• Shauri Yako

Original SHAURI YAKO composed by Nguashi Ntimbo and recorded in Nairobi with the Festival du Zaire band. The cover version by Super Mazembe was voted African song of the century! My own vote went to Afrika Mokili Mobimba original version by Dechaud performed by Kabaselleh, Dr. Nico and Tabu Ley!]

My own view is that this orginal version is artistically the best. There are atleast 5 covers of Shauri Yako on internet already. It is an intriguing song which guarantees Ntimbo a ticket to immortality, and shall continue to enthrall many. But financially in real life it was a disaster for him and the band. A common fate for genial poets.

"Nilikwelezeyaka oh mama, (I used to tell you oh my lady)
Fatou, wangu mama (Fatou, my lady)
Nilikwelezeyaka oh mama,
Fatou, wangu mama

Mapenzie ya kwetu eeh (This love of ours)
haita tawi hata mama (Will not survive much longer)
Mapenzie ya kwetu eeh
haita tawi hata mama

Tabia yako na yangu (Your character and mine)
haisikilizani (Are incompatible)
Tabia yako na yangu
haisikilizani

Unaona (You need to understand)
unaona sasa we mama (You need to understand, my lady)
Unaona
unaona sasa we mama

Unapenda kuvaa (You like to dress well)
Mimi sina namna Fatou we (I have no way to support that)

Unapenda kula vizuri (You like to dine well)
Mimi sina pesa oh Fatou we (I have no money, oh Fatou)

Nipe mali (Borrowing money)
Sizoe (I do not want to become a regular at this)
Niuwe mutu (Kill someone)
Nipate dawa ya feza (So that I can find a way to wealth)
Niuwe mutu
Watanifunga (The man will surely lock me up)
Niuwe mutu
Thambi kwa Mungu Baba (That's a sin against the Lord God)

Kama hunipendi we (If you do not love me as I am, then)
Uende lote mama (Be completely gone, my lady)
Kama hunipendi we
Uende lote mama

Shauri yako, shauri yako eeh (Its your problem)
Shauri yako, shauri yako eeh

Shauri yako
Wende lote Zena wangu (Be completely gone, my lady)
Siwezi kuua mutu mama (I cannot kill a soul, my lady)
Thambi kwa Mungu Baba yo (That's a sin against the Lord God)
Siwezi kuua mutu mama
Thambi kwa Mungu Baba yo

Shauri yako, shauri yako eeh
Shauri yako, shauri yako eeh

Shauri yako
Wende lote Zena wangu
Siwezi kuua mutu mama
Thambi kwa Mungu Baba yo

Niibe mali (If I steal)
Watanifunga (The man will surely lock me up)
Niuwe mutu (Kill someone)
Thambi kwa Mungu Baba (That's a sin against the Lord God)

Kama hunipendi we
Uende lote mama

Kama hunipendi (If you do not love me)
uniwache yangu
