Kenya
A busy, bustling place
My beautiful country
Oh, how I’ve missed you
Oh, how you’ve changed in these six years
Yet I remember the scent of heavy spices and roasted corn
The soft, crumbling ground after the rain
Everywhere you go people talking
To each other in community before my eyes
The complex beauty of languages twisted
Within each other resounding through the town
The rush of everyone with places to be
So many nights I have spent longing to be
With all of my true family
Nyumbani Home
Yenye nguuo na rangi za kupendeza So vibrant and colorful
Ninakupenda sana I love you so much
Nakushikilia kwenye nafsi ya moyo wangu You have a place in my heart
Kwa kukaribisha mimi kama binti yako welcoming me as your daughter
Wewe ni chanzo cha uzazi wangu for you are my motherland
