I am just wondering

I am Sarah Nyamera and I have a song that I want to sing:

Awoi! I am just wondering

I could have listened to what you taught me mother

Woi*2

I do not know even how to dig

I am just thinking

I am wondering

All have denied me, where will I go

Mother I should have listened to what you told me mother

Today I do not have a house; I am sleeping in small house of people

Yeee, aaa, yeee

In the morning where will I go, aa! Where will I eat, aa! Where will I sleep, aa! The world has defeated me

I am wondering

All have denied me, where will I go

Mother I should have listened to what you told me mother

When I walk on the road, and ask for water people just assume

They say that he is a thief, do not give him

I am just wondering

All have denied me where will I go

Mother I should have listened to what you told me mother

The second one:

Bird*2

A bird has come here*2

When you look at the eyes, when you look at the leg

The eyes are not seeing, the legs are still

Wooi bird

I went to gather firewood from the forest

An ogre's wife told me

Nziriri nziriri

Muhonja*2

Nziriri*2

I went to burn the forest

The ogre's wife asked me what are you burning

Muhonja*2

What are you burning?

Come and see*2

The head of the ogres

On a rock

Come and see*2

The head of the ogres

On a rock

He is eating*2

Malt

He is eating*2

Stones

Muhonja the daughter of mother, Muhonja

Muhonja the daughter of mother, Muhonja

It has ended there.
