Sometimes I wish that things would still remain the same Live happy and free like the birds in the skies Come home to the love of grandma and her lovely food Oh, how I miss the beauty of the fire in the night And the different stories that she told from the heart In the evenings we would gather by the fire place and listen to her Everyday I'd light the fire and tell a Nanyoni Kuti musanagone mundiwuze nthano Musanagone mundiwuze nthano Musanagone mundiwuze nthano Musanagone mundiwuze nthano Oh, amayi wanga ♪ And everyday I could not wait for the evening time to come I would say good night to my friends at dusk She'd tell the story of how the rabbit became a king In a land where lions and elephants roam Oh, you should've seen her face as she told the story And this is another reason I'd sit down by the fire place and listen to her And everyday I'd light the fire and tell a Nanyoni Kuti musanagone mundiwuze nthano Musanagone mundiwuze nthano Musanagone mundiwuze nthano Musanagone mundiwuze nthano Oh, amayi wanga
