Kusina Mai Lyrics

This dark spirit
This dark spirit
Hmm I have failed to conquer it
Only mbuya nehanda could deal with it
My heart beats with fear
Hmmm hiye hoo
Haa iye hiye hoo
Only mbuya nehanda could deal with it
Alone my heart beats with fear
Hiye hiye hoo
Hiye hiye hoo
This requires mbuya nehanda or the messiah
Alone, my heart beats with fear

Never go where your mother is absent
My strength is in the place I was breastfed
Never go where your mother is absent
Tomorrow you will desire to return
Make peace with the place you are coming from
Never go where your mother is absent
My strength is in the place I was breastfed
Never go where your mother is absent
Tomorrow you will desire to return
Make peace with the place you are coming from

Now you are lamenting
Now you are pleading
You are tired of calling my brother/ sister
It is difficult to walk in the forest
It is difficult to walk in the forest
Now you are lamenting
Now you are pleading
You are tired of calling my brother/ sister
It is difficult to walk in the forest
It is difficult to walk in the forest
Hiye hiye hoo
Hiye hiye hoo
It is difficult to walk in the forest
It is difficult to walk in the forest
Hiye hiye hoo
Hiye hiye hoo
It is difficult to walk in the forest
It is difficult to walk in the forest

You have no knowledge of that place, dear child
There is no song you can sing along to
There is no language you can speak
You remember no one from that place
You have no knowledge of that place, dear child
There is no song you can sing along to
There is no language you can speak
You remember no one from that place

Never go where your mother is absent
My strength is in the place I was breastfed
Never go where your mother is absent
Tomorrow you will desire to return
Make peace with the place you are coming from
Never go where your mother is absent
My strength is in the place I was breastfed
Never go where your mother is absent
Tomorrow you will desire to return
Make peace with the place you are coming from

Now you are lamenting
Now you are pleading
You are tired of calling my brother/ sister
It is difficult to walk in the forest
It is difficult to walk in the forest
Now you are lamenting
Now you are pleading
You are tired of calling my brother/ sister
It is difficult to walk in the forest
It is difficult to walk in the forest
Hiye hiye hoo
Hiye hiye hoo
It is difficult to walk in the forest
It is difficult to walk in the forest
Hiye hiye hoo
Hiye hiye hoo
It is difficult to walk in the forest
It is difficult to walk in the forest

You have no knowledge
There is no song
You have no knowledge
Your mother tongue
