LAKE VICTORIA:

The hushing breeze , the chirping of the birds,the humming sound of the men, whistling sound of the trees, they all married each other creating the serenity around you.
Slowly approaching the peak of the work song, all excited to charm along.
Oooh! Beautiful waters, our mother dear, ooooh! Beautiful waters, bearer of our daily bread,
Ooooh, oooooh ,oooooh beautiful Lake Victoria, samaki twataka, samaki ya kuuza tupate pesa mama, samaki twataka tupate chakula wanao, ooooh beautiful waters.
The children at the banks sing along as they watch in amazement the flexing backs of our men as they charge forward. Your waters kissing their skins as they move along.
Then a shoal of fish is harvested and everyone has their smiles implanted on their faces.
The beautiful smiles and comforting laughter's and they sing.
Asante mama! Asante Victoria, samaki tumepata, chakula tumepata, riziki tumepata.
Asante Ziwa Victoria, oooooh! Oooooh!Oooooh! Your beautiful blue waters that bear our daily bread, beautiful mother Victoria thank you.
